Check out all the ‘Star Wars’ TV shows, from ‘Ewoks’ in the 80s to the return of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Since 1977, Star Wars has captivated the minds of sci-fi fans everywhere, spawning a series of films, books and video games. And while the series was a hit on the big screen and beyond, it took time for Star Wars to hit its stride when it came to TV.
The ’80s enjoyed campy cartoon spin-offs and in 2008 Cartoon Network’s ‘The Clone Wars’ started to set its own standard. Star Wars TV wouldn’t go live-action until 2019, however, with the blockbuster release of Disney+’s The Mandalorian. The Book Of Boba Fett followed in December of 2021 and on May 27, 2022, the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi, as played by Ewan McGregor, would get his own Disney+ series.
