Obi-Wan's story in Padawan (out July 26) is one of self discovery.
In a cute, relatable scene in which Obi tries to figure out his attraction, any gender goes but he's not sure if romance is for him at all.
No clear label but definitely on the bi or asexual/aromantic spectrum.

2022 in gay Star Wars retrospective!
Gayest book: Midnight Horizon
Gayest comic: Doctor Aphra
Biggest barrier crossed: Sister, the franchise's first canonically trans woman from Queen's Hope
Most high profile queer: Obi-Wan Kenobi!
And of course: Live action lesbians!

Among the queer kids Obi meets:
- their leader, Audj
- her nonbinary shapeshifting partner, Zae-Brii
- Audj' brother Casul, who's down to experiment with Obi
- and Mem, a girl who's not down for romance or attraction at all
Queerness in this book feels very casual and I love it.

You know what, Lucasfilm... I'm actually pretty proud of you for this one. Good on ya. WLW romance right from the very first scene, between two main cast members, one of whom is the child of legacy characters? Star Wars wishes it had this on screen.

Ronin
Bi/pan main character.
Two WLW in the main cast.
Most important role for a nonbinary character in a SW story yet.
Queer romance (omitting details for spoilers).
And in a franchise first, two minor characters are trans men! On HRT! In Star Wars!

Andor Episode 5: The Axe Forgets
Andor just did queer representation the only way it knows how: as a slow, deliberate burn.
I'll need their relationship to get a bit more clear and fleshed out before I really start cheering but they're here.
Major. Live action. Lesbians!

I'm so happy we got Cinta and Vel. And I'm so relieved they made it out of the heist alive.
They'd be better representation if it was a bit more explicit but man. I'd given up hope on ever getting proper queers on screen.

I love how publishing occasionally takes a plunge and confirms a classic movie character as queer. Luke Skywalker likes men and you cannot take that back!
I'd love it even more if their queerness was reaffirmed in other books. Show these aren't just flukes that got snuck in.

PSA: I keep track of LGBTQIA+ content in Star Wars here. But while representation does make me happy, the presence or lack of queers is not the sole indicator of whether I think a piece of media is good.
