There has been plenty of MCU action as of late on Disney Plus with WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki set to premiere in July. But Star Wars fans have been on a bit of a dry spell since season 2 of The Mandalorian wrapped up. Of course, you can still watch Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian Season 2 which is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of season 2.
The exact date that Obi-Wan Kenobi will air on Disney Plus isn’t yet known but we’re happy to hear the news that production is set to begin in April.
