'Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi' and 'Andor' blast onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray today

For "Star Wars" faithful who missed these two prime offerings on Disney+ when they first landed back in 2022, or those who need to explore further and revisit them, Lucasfilm and Disney are launching "Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Season" and "Andor: The Complete First Season" onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on April 30, 2024.

Both of these Emmy Award-nominated space opera series are being packaged as deluxe Steelbook releases and are crammed to the hilt with bonus features, audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and exclusive concept art cards from Poster Posse artist Attila Szarka to entice the home video crowd.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Series" is a six-episode miniseries covering two discs. This was the first and only season for the "Star Wars" prequel spinoff as unfortunately it was not renewed by Disney+ for a second outing.
