‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Release Schedule: When Does Episode 3 Hit Disney Plus? – CNET [CNET]
The first of the six episodes was originally scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus on May 25. That date was pushed back to May 27 — a Friday — to coincide with live event Star Wars Celebration. Not one but two episodes dropped today (the rest will stick with the Wednesday release slot). Although, according to a hasty tweet from the official Star Wars account, the premiere episodes arrived a full three hours early, which meant they technically streamed Thursday.
One possible explanation for the sudden change of plans is to avoid the release of season 4 of uber-popular Netflix hit Stranger Things, arriving at 12 a.m. PT on Friday. Fortunately, it’s pretty good! CNET’s Richard Trenholm calls Obi-Wan “assured, pacey and … most importantly, character-driven“. Once you’ve watched them, check out our in-depth (and very spoiler-y) recap of episode 1 and 2, including character arcs, easter eggs and a nifty Star Wars cameo.
