Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered last week with its first two episodes, and now, fans are looking forward to watching Episode 3 of the series. Well, the next episode is arriving earlier than you expected, and here's everything you need to know about its release schedule.
Disney Plus's Obi-Wan Kenobi is set in the massive Star Wars universe, and it shows us the aftermath of Order 66. Almost every Jedi has been killed, and the survivors are being hunted by the Grand Inquisitor, Fifth Brother, and the Third Sister (Reva Sevander). Reva, played by Moses Ingram, is solely looking for Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is hiding on Tatooine under the name "Ben."
Kenobi can't stop thinking about his old friend, Anakin Skywalker, who embraced the darkness inside of him and became Darth Vader. While working in a meat factory, Obi takes care of Darth Vader's son, Luke Skywalker. Obi lost his will to fight, and he had no desire to restore the Jedi order. However, the Jedi master's destiny catches up to him when he is forced to pick up his lightsaber after learning that Anakin is still alive.

After this, we'll be left with three more episodes, and the first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi will end with its sixth episode on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022.
As of now, it's hard to say if Obi-Wan Kenobi will get a second season. The show's renewal for Season 2 depends on how well the first season is received by the community.

However, that may change for better or worse when the rest of the episodes come out on Disney Plus.
