Director Deborah Chow confirmed more Star Wars galaxy cameos and Easter eggs in the final episodes
Deborah confirmed that fans can expect more cameos in the last four episodes of the series.
“I don’t think it would be Star Wars if we didn’t have some Easter eggs, and we didn’t have some cameos. So there are some to come,” the director teased. “I think for us, what we do have in the show, it needed to come out of character for us. We didn’t want to just put things in for the sake of it.”

Chow has given a clue that more cameos would connect to Star Wars prequel than the time of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka set five years post-Return of the Jedi.
“Given the nature of our characters, the strongest connective tissue is to the prequels for us,” “Because in large part, that’s where our characters are coming from and that’s where their stories started. So really the prequels are sort of the most connected to our series.” Source: Entertainment Weekly
The series stars Ewan McGregor, Moses Ingram, Rupert Friend, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Indira Varma, Sung Kang, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Kumail Nanjiani, and Hayden Christensen.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is streaming on Disney+ on Wednesdays.
