According to internet rumours, a debut date for Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Rise of Skywalker’s TV series has been disclosed.
On Friday (February 4), a tweet from Disney Plus Enterprise Program Manager Brandon San Giovanni purported to announce Obi-Wan Kenobi’s TV programme would premiere in May 2022, sending Star Wars fans into a frenzy.
The social media post received a lot of attention, as one would expect. A Reddit member saved a screenshot of San Giovanni’s tweet before it was deleted, and he later claimed that he mistook the show’s release date for another product’s release date. San Giovanni’s seeming bewilderment was caused by what else? The publishing date for the next Obi-Wan Kenobi comic book has been set for May 2022.
San Giovanni may have confused the release dates of the TV series with the comic book. There’s some evidence to back up our belief, though, that he didn’t.
An easy ‘connect the dots’ game is the first piece of evidence to support this theory. San Giovanni will have access to Disney Plus’ anticipated movie and TV programme release dates as the company’s Enterprise Program Manager. According to his LinkedIn page, San Giovanni is responsible for “overseeing feature development, content, artwork and metadata planning” for all Disney Plus Originals programming. If you don’t know when a Disney Plus movie or TV series will be launched, how can you plan content launches?
Obi-release Wan’s date suspicions have been bolstered by The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, which has confirmed the news. Some attention is given to the show’s reported May 2022 premiere date since THR sources are quoted in the alert.
Finally, if Obi-Wan were to be released, it would coincide with Star Wars Day, which is observed on May 4 and is a day of celebration for lovers of the Star Wars series. In addition to the fact that May 4 falls on a Wednesday this year, which is the day when new episodes of Disney Plus series premiere, the reported start date for the Obi-Wan TV show seems to be accurate.

This theory, though, might be derailed by a few of Disney Plus programmes.
In addition to Moon Knight, the next Marvel Phase 4 project will premiere on Disney Plus on March 30. Following Hawkeye’s two-episode launch in November 2021, Moon Knight’s last episode won’t broadcast until May 4 due to the show’s six-episode duration. Obi-possible Wan’s debut on Star Wars Day, which Disney, Lucasfilm, and Marvel are unlikely to agree to, would naturally place it in direct competition.
For example, a second season of the Bad Batch might affect Obi-arrival. Wan’s Disney Plus subscribers can expect the animated Star Wars TV series to premiere in the spring of 2022, which falls between between March and June. Again, it’s quite unlikely that both The Bad Batch and Moon Knight will air on Disney Plus at the same time and compete with each other for viewers. As a result, we don’t anticipate the sequel to The Bad Batch to be released until May 4.
In light of this, where does Obi-Wan Kenobi’s television programme stand? Despite San Giovanni’s assurances that the film would be released in May 2022, the film’s release date has not been confirmed. We think the most probable date for Obi-debut Wan’s is May 11, which is a Wednesday.
Season 2 of The Bad Batch might still be released in the spring of 2022 if Obi-Wan begins airing on that date (by launching a week later on June 29). Obi-first Wan’s episode will broadcast on May 11 if the May 11 date is chosen.
So, should we accept that San Giovanni made a mistake, or is there any validity to his unintentional disclosure of information?
San Giovanni, in our imaginations, is attempting to perform a Jedi mind trick on us.. Obi-release Wan’s date was accidentally announced by him and he’s been trying to cover it up ever since. Obi-TV Wan’s programme will premiere on Disney Plus in mid-May, according to the phrase “there’s no smoke without fire.” Let Boba Fett devour us if we’re incorrect.
