Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor are getting physical releases

Lucasfilm have announced that both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor are cutting the cord from Disney+ and getting physical releases, much like the first two seasons of The Mandalorian did in 2023.

Pre-orders for these are opening up on March 13, with releasing happening on May 1st, for those in America the dates are a day before. Sadly though, as Disney no longer release new physical releases in Australia, anyone who wants these for the collections, like I do, will need to order them online from overseas.

Both Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Series and Andor: The Complete First Season 4K UHD and Blu-ray sets will feature premium SteelBook packaging and come packed with new bonus features as well as exclusive concept art cards. You can see what you get with Obi-Wan Kenobi below.

As for bonuses on the disc, owners will get access to the following featurettes:

  • Duels of Fate: Obi-Wan vs Vader - Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen examine the lightsaber battles of Obi-Wan and Darth Vader.

  • The Dark Times: Villains - Uncover the lore of the deadly Inquisitors, and Darth Vader’s iconic look.
