With 12 Star Wars movies and only a limited amount of time, it can be daunting when someone says “you need to watch everything” to really understand the latest show or film. While yes, to get the most out of anything you do need to watch the complete Star Wars timeline Thankfully, that’s not entirely necessary with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
If you watch one movie, make sure it’s Revenge of the Sith. This leads directly into the show and will give you good familiarity with the characters. It’s also the best of the prequels. Speaking of which, if you fancy seeing Ewan McGregor’s full journey from Padawan to Jedi Knight both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are worth watching. Honestly, you could probably skip The Phantom Menance though, as it adds very little overall with Attack of the Clones being just as good as an entry point

Expanding further and you have the original trilogy – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi – which will give you the conclusion to Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker. You then have Star Wars: The Clone Wars the animated series that fills in the three-year gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, if you really want to invest. There are seven seasons comprising 133 episodes, so a lot to get through. It’s very favourably looked upon with Dave Filoni (who has played a major part in the making of The Mandalorian) directing the entirety.
Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen with Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie all set to appear throughout the series. It will begin streaming exclusively across Disney Plus from May 27th, 2022.
