Deborah Chow will direct Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi show

Ewan McGregor will reprise his iconic role as Obi-Wan Kenobi (Lucasfilm)

While the Obi-Wan show on Disney+ still doesn't have an official name or release date, we know now who will be directing the series. Lucasfilm announced that Deborah Chow would be its director. Chow is no stranger to the Star Wars universe. She directed a couple of The Mandalorian episodes, which is another Disney+ show but one that's in post-production with a second season already in the pipeline. Chow has also done episodes for Marvel's Jessica Jones and Iron Fist as well as Amazon Prime's The Man in the High Castle.

And, unfortunately, the offer isn't available in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. But if you aren't in those areas and you want some free coffee, then use the app. It's available for free on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
