Disney+ makes up for it because Obi-Wan Kenobi is delayed
Disney+ will release the ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ series later, which is why the company comes with a saving grace!
Disney’s ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ premiere will feature two episodes to make up for the delayed debut. The show will premiere on May 27, two days later than originally planned. In itself, two extra days of waiting is not a disaster, but Disney is going through the dust.
Disney+ comes with a saving grace
“I have important news,” said Ewan McGregor, star of the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. “Our premiere date is only shifting by a few days.” His hands are raised, as if to say “don’t be angry!” Indeed, Disney is shifting the show’s launch by two days, from Wednesday, May 25, to Friday, May 27. Now the company is missing an important date. Because the 25ste would have been exactly 45 years since the original Star Wars. Disney realizes that and as penance for the inconvenience that day comes with two episodes instead of just one.
Still late
Fans have been waiting for the series for a long time. The latest series in the franchise starring McGregor has been a long time coming. The series was announced with great fanfare in the summer of 2019. Since then, Disney has revealed a lot of information, for example who else will be playing in it. Think Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen reprising his trilogy role as Darth Vader.
It is unclear why the series will be delayed by two days. You can assume that the series is completely finished. Maybe the schedule was unfortunate and they prefer to launch on a Friday, in order to get a lot of viewers at once. During the weekend you have more time to turn on a series.
