50 free Obi-Wan Kenobi trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Obi-Wan Kenobi began as a spin-off film with a Belfast shoot booked and a working title borrowed from a national park, then died with Solo's box office and was reborn as a six-part Disney+ miniseries. By the time it reached screens in 2022 it had lost a writer, gained a showrunner, dropped Darth Maul, added Darth Vader, and handed James Earl Jones's voice to an AI. These 50 questions cover the whole series: the rescue of a ten-year-old Leia, the Grand Inquisitor, Reva and the Fifth Brother, Haja Estree and Tala Durith, the Path, the planets Daiyu and Mapuzo, the Order 66 flashbacks and the rematch with Vader. There are production questions too: the cancelled film and its director, the scripts that were shelved for being too close to The Mandalorian, Deborah Chow and Joby Harold, Natalie Holt's score and John Williams's new theme, the cast cameos from Flea to Zach Braff, and the Volkswagen tie-in. Easy questions stick to the leads; the expert tier asks about in-suit performers, comic adapters and the novels Ewan McGregor read to prepare. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a Star Wars night.
