Although fans initially speculated on May 4 as the true release, Disney + wanted to contradict them, now confirming that the film will be available starting May 25, 2022, the official day of “Star Wars” – in despite the frequent pun around May 4 (“May the 4th be with you”, where “4th” takes the place of “force”).

Recall that on May 25, 1977, the first Star Wars movie of all time was released, now called “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” The launch was a historic one, with people crowding to see it and forming long queues in front of cinemas.

In conclusion, the release of “Obi Wan-Kenobi” will be marked by a special symbolism, also celebrating 45 years since the release of the first movie “Star Wars”.
