The episode stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, who reprises his role from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, alongside co-stars Indira Varma, Vivien Lyra Blair, Moses Ingram, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Maya Erskine, Sung Kang, Rya Kihlstedt, and Hayden Christensen. Chow was hired in September 2019, and following rewrites of the script, Harold became the head writer and showrunner. Both executive produce alongside McGregor, Michelle Rejwan, and Kathleen Kennedy, while the episode is produced by Thomas Hayslip and Katterli Frauenfelder.
"Part VI" was released on the streaming service Disney+ on June 22, 2022. It received praise towards the rematch of Kenobi and Darth Vader, action sequences, visuals, cinematography, Kenobi and Reva's character development, performances (particularly of Christensen and McGregor), and the emotional weight, but received some criticism for its writing.
