It's finally time to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 5 on Disney Plus, we're going to be wondering how soon the rematch of the century is about to go down. Because now that Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) saved Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) again, it seems like all that's left for the show to do is give us the big fight we've all been waiting for.
Release date and time: Episode 5 is now streaming on Wednesday (June 15) on Disney Plus, having dropped at 3 a.m. ET. Full release schedule below.
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Vivien Lyra Blair, Hayden Christensen, Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, Kumail Nanjiani, Sung Kang
Director: Deborah Chow
Rating: TV-14
Yes, Obi-Wan and Anakin/Vader fought in the third episode (and what a fight it was), but that felt like a tease for a bigger brawl. Plus, while Lucasfilm and Disney Plus are crediting Hayden Christiansen as playing Anakin/Vader, we have barely seen any of the actor so far this season (was that even him in the Bacta tank?)
And Vader will find his prey because Reva pulled a clever move right before Obi-Wan and Leia escaped. She turned Leia's L0-LA59 droid (which the kid calls 'Lola,' affectionately) into a tracking beacon.
The fourth episode also gave us two of the latest beloved members of the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast: O'Shea Jackson Jr. as Roken and Maya Erskine as a to-be-named character that subtitles suggest is named Sully. They work on "The Path" and we need a new show starring them now.
Here's everything to know about how and when to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 5 online. Also, check out why Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4 fixed my biggest problem with the show.

Obi-Wan Kenobi cast
The cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi is led by Ewan McGregor as the Jedi master. He survived the Order 66 execution of Jedi and is living under the name "Ben" on Tatooine, where he watches over Luke Skywalker. His biggest co-star is Vivien Lyra Blair, who plays a young Princess Leia Organa.
