Why Kenobi is late: Specific reasons for the delay in the new series are not given. However, since the new start date falls on this year’s Star Wars Celebration, it makes sense that the release of Kenobi will be linked to an on-site fan screening.
Two episodes instead of just one: Kenobi starts two days later, but with two episodes. As a rule, new Marvel or Star Wars series celebrate their debut with only one episode. Kenobi is one of the few exceptions among the Disney Plus productions.
What’s next for the rest of the episodes? The first two episodes of Kenobi will be released on May 27, 2022 on a Friday. However, the four remaining episodes will be released independently on a Wednesday. So the dates for the Kenobi series are as follows:
- Episode 1+2 on May 27th
- Episode 3 on June 1st
- Episode 4 on June 8th
- Episode 5 on June 15th
- Episode 6 on June 22nd
