Is 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' coming to theaters? Ewan McGregor-starrer reportedly set for big screen marathon
Missed out on watching 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' if you're in Canada, then there's good news headed your way. Multiple reports of the Ewan McGregor-starrer heading to theaters as a marathon event have been doing the rounds. Per a StarWars.net report, there is a theater that will screen all six episodes of the Disney+ series on June 22, the airdate of Chapter VI. This will be followed by a Q&A series featuring the people involved in the spin-off.
A Cineplex listing (via comic book) reads Obi-Wan Kenobi – Entire Season and Q&A. "Obi-Wan Kenobi" begins 10 years after the dramatic events of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat-the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. This event will feature a live Q&A. For now, the outlet speculates that this could be a rumor. However, it should be noted that marathons in theatres have been a trend and it shouldn't come as a surprise if fans witness a Vader vs Obi clash on the big screen.

What time does 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Episode 5 release on Disney+?
The fourth episode packs in quite the action. It's perhaps the one that finally sees Ben switch to Jedi mode, something he was a far cry from in the first three chapters. With two episodes left in the series, and a potential second installment rumored to be in development, there's no saying if he will see another Ben vs Vader clash. It would be a shame if that's not happening considering the series has been near-damn impressive thus far.
There's no telling what the penultimate episode of the hit show has in store. Last we saw, Reva (Moses Ingram) had put a tracker in Lola, Leia's (Vivien Lyra Blair) droid. This would mean another inevitable showdown between Reva, Obi and Vader. The good news: The show drops a new episode on Wednesday (June 15) at 3 am ET. There is no info yet on how long the episode will be, considering the last one spanned around 37 minutes. With the final two episodes set to pack in the action, maybe an hour-long affair doesn't seem impossible.
