2 min read
Disney+
On Wednesday, June 1 at 3:01 a.m. ET/12:01 a.m. PT, Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 will premiere on Disney+. Following its Friday premiere, the show will now air on Wednesdays, as we’ve come to expect from Disney+ originals.
On May 27th, the series premiered, giving fans not one, but two new episodes to savor as the titular Jedi finally emerged from the shadows.
Fans have naturally been left wanting more, but when will Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 be released on Disney+, and where may the plot go next?
When do new episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi air on Disney Plus? What is the release timetable for Obi-Wan Kenobi and how many episodes are there?
The rest of Obi-Wan Kenobi will air weekly after its two-episode launch. The series will air new episodes every Wednesday at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT. Obi-Wan Kenobi will have a total of six episodes. As of right now, this is how the release schedule looks.
- Episodes 1-2: Friday, May 27, 2022
- Episode 3: Wednesday, June 1, 2022
- Episode 4: Wednesday, June 8, 2022
- Episode 5: Wednesday, June 15, 2022
- Episode 6: Wednesday, June 22, 2022
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s return to Wednesdays after its initial Friday release means it will clash with one of Disney+’s MCU shows, Ms Marvel, which premieres on June 8th.
As Disney+ fills up with new episodes, an overlapping release was likely to happen at some point, but it will be interesting to observe how the release timetable affects both shows.
Recap of Episodes 1 and 2
After a ten-year hiatus, the eponymous Jedi of Episodes 1 and 2 returns to protect young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine.
Kenobi learns that Princess Leia, a 10-year-old, has been kidnapped by bounty hunters. He is forced to depart the desert planet to arrange a daring rescue.
With the Empire on the search for any remaining Jedi, Obi-Wan causes a ruckus, bringing the inquisitors to the planet Daiyu, where the Third Sister, Reva, nearly catches up to Obi-Wan before letting him escape through her fingers.
Reva is enraged by the Grand Inquisitor’s displeasure over her failure to catch Kenobi.
After word of Kenobi’s arrival on Daiyu spread, the plot of Episode 3 will be scrutinized more than ever.
The Grand Inquisitor’s unexpected actions at the end of episode 2 made Reva feel under a lot of pressure to find the Jedi. If she fails, she could face harsh punishment.
Due to the difficulty in bringing Obi-Wan in, it may catch the attention of someone far more powerful than mere inquisitors.
