Two recent Star Wars TV shows, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor season 1, are receiving physical media releases packed with special features. Both shows originally streamed on Disney+ in 2022, adding their own qualities to the galaxy that will hopefully continue in upcoming Star Wars TV shows. While Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s future is unlikely given its limited series production, Andor season 2’s story is expected in the coming years. With both including aspects that rank among Star Wars’ best TV show ventures, a new announcement from Disney is sure to excite fans of each project.
