Obi-Wan Kenobi starts streaming May 27th on Disney+.
There was lots more Star Wars activity on Twitter too. According to Deadline, including the high priest of May the Fourth, Mark Hamill, who’s been doing a three-day walkup on Twitter to the most “holy” of Star Wars holidays: Star Wars Day. On Tuesday, he had an irresistible installment that invoked the song “Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen.

At Disneyland, the Star Wars-themed Hyperspace Mountain returns, as will special character interactions and new photo spots celebrating the Disney+ original series set in the Star Wars galaxy. There will be a replica of the palace throne from The Book of Boba Fett. The ancient Jedi temple on Tython where Grogu connected with the Force on season two of The Mandalorian will be another new backdrop offered. There will also be character interactions and new Star Wars-themed food.
Other retailers offered their own Star Wars promotions, with Dynamic Forces promoting their Indiegogo campaign selling character sketches and collectables (without featuring a single Sequel Trilogy character). Check out their campaign here. It ends in 3 days.
