You’ve been underplaying everything. What happened to the guy in Trainspotting? What happened to that guy?!’ It was quite rude.

While whispers of young Princess Leia coming to the “Star Wars” universe goes back years (we even mentioned it on a podcast last year), it wasn’t really until an “Obi-Wan Kenobi” casting reveal from a few months later that seemed to truly cement the fact we’d see the other Skywalker twin make a return after the passing of Carrie Fisher.

Selome Hailu “Stranger Things” Season 4 and “Obi-Wan Kenobi” are currently the leading titles on their respective streamers, and both debuted on May 27. With “Stranger Things” maintaining its status as one of Netflix’s most popular original properties, and “Obi-Wan Kenobi” marking the latest expansion of the “Star Wars” franchise, their premieres created what Nielsen called “the most anticipated weekend ever in streaming” — and Netflix came out on top.Netflix reported that Part 1 of the fourth season of “Stranger Things” had the company’s biggest premiere weekend ever for an English-language series, garnering 287 million hours viewed globally.

“Stranger Things 4” and Disney+ dropped the first two episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” But in streaming’s never-ending battle for eyeballs and attention spans, which blockbuster release emerged more victorious?

As a result, the first four seasons of the Netflix series accrued 5.1 billion U.S.

The newest batch of episodes of Stranger Things, which arrived on Netflix the same day that Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered on Disney+, powered the show to 5.1 billion minutes of U.S. streaming in its first three days, according to Nielsen.
