Controversies exploded within the Star Wars universe when Disney announced that new Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ms. Marvelepisodes would release on the same day. Now, fans are forgetting to watch both, sparking a controversy.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is the most popular streaming series to hit Disney+, and Ms. Marvel is captivating virtually every Marvel fan. With endless amounts of content releasing this summer, every Marvel and Star Wars fan has more than enough new shows and movies to watch before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) take over the internet.
Nonetheless, Disney’s historical movie to release new content on Wednesdays after the success of Loki has caused some tears within the fanbases.

Now, fans are fighting to decide which new show to watch first, with Kenobi and Ms. Marvel debuting new episodes on the same day:
Bruh I beg Disney to stop releasing two shows at the same time. It’s stupid having a company competing itself. Barely see anyone talking about Ms Marvel cos Obi-Wan is taking up the conversation and deserve to have their own days.

Mr. Spoilsberg makes an incredibly valid and respectful point, given that Ms. Marvel has been wholly sidelined after the landmark Obi-Wan Kenobi episode co-written by Pixar’s Andrew Stanton has completely changed the parameters of the Skywalker saga.
I have a theory that everything used to get put out on Fridays because Netflix had the data to show that was the best day. Disney and Amazon came by and started competing with them so Disney switched days to see how things would perform.
All of a sudden, views shoot up on Wednesdays because it’s an empty day with nothing happening on it. The data then appears to show that Wednesday might actually be the best day even though it doesn’t take into account Friday was so busy.
Now everything is releasing on Wednesdays. Next week we have Obi-Wan, Ms Marvel, Umbrella Academy and Doctor Strange MOM all dropping on the same day. Gonna all eat each other to the point Wed will now be the worst day to release stuff on.
With so much quality content coming to Disney+ and other streaming services on Wednesdays, fans are hoping the spread of new episodes can be placed onto Fridays as well:
Especially with how good Ms Marvel has been, it definitely deserves more attention

I think they’re testing out how well these shows do when they overlap so that they can start adding even more Marvel and Star Wars shows. Instead of 4 MCU shows per year, why not 5 or 6?! That sorta thing.

Can one ever get enough superhero and Star Wars content? No, but the internet vies to state that it’s better to have new releases spread throughout the week rather than all falling on one day.
More about Obi-Wan Kenobi
The story begins ten years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his most significant defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
“The rematch of the century” teased by Kathleen Kennedy, director Deborah Chow, and Lucasfilm will be supported by Moses Ingram (Inquisitor Reva), Joel Edgerton (Uncle Owen), Bonnie Piesse (Beru Lars), Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie.
Within the Star Wars franchise, Lucasfilm is moving past Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) or the controversial Rian JohnsonStar Wars film The Last Jedi (2018) as we dive into the Old Republic or explore new realities of the Star Wars universe with each new TV show or the upcoming Star Wars game like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 or Star Wars Eclipse.

Marvel Studios’ “Ms. Marvel” introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero megafan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with superpowers, right?
