Lucasfilm's incredible streak of producing excellent Star Wars content via the Disney+ streaming platform continues. Now, with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series nearing its finale, fans are eager to see the "rematch of the century" between the Jedi Master and his former Padawan turned Sith Lord Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader.

It looks like fans over in Canada will be treated to a huge Star Wars party. A listing from Canadian theater chain Cineplex (via The Direct) indicates that Disney will be screening the entire series including the final episode on June 22nd, the day of the show's finale.

The event will feature over 5 hours worth of Obi-Wan Kenobi content and the general belief is that Episode 6 will be getting a massive runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes – something that is unheard of with Disney+ shows.

However, one fan noted on Twitter that the supposed hour-long runtime also includes a 30-minute live Q&A session with a yet-to-be-announced panel. The said Q&A is also featured on Cineplex's website although it wasn't specified whether or not it's part of the total runtime.

It's understandable how Disney and Lucasfilm are making a huge deal out of the show and treating its finale episode as a monumental event for the Star Wars fandom. And while it's basically just a precursor to events we already know, it can't be denied that the show is quite exhilarating.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is streaming exclusively on Disney+.
