Kenobi vs Stranger Things fights to get your attention

If you’re a fan of both Kenobi and Stranger Things from Star Wars, you’ll probably have a tough decision to make which series to watch first. Well, it seems that there have also been millions of fellow fans around the world who have faced this dilemma as well.

This was based on data from Parrot Analytics, via Hey howho revealed that 2022’s “most requested streaming sci-fi original series” was The Mandalorian, followed by Boba Fett’s book, and only after that, Stranger Things took third place.

However, Stranger Things seems to have picked up its pace, which has undoubtedly been boosted by an amazing promotional campaign on social media. A day later, Stranger Things are now dominating Google searches around the world; Although it’s worth noting how specifically Stranger Things Season 4’s mode seems to flatten the data.

Of course, the real comparison would be to compare the number of streams and hours of broadcasting for Kenobi versus Stranger Things.

However, in a battle between the two shows for viewers’ attention and engagement, Stranger Things Season 4 appears to have benefited the most from its showdown schedule, despite being on two separate platforms.

“I love Star Wars, but I’m more excited about Stranger Things. And before you bother me, let me explain. We know Obi-Wan is going to be okay. There is no tension, danger, or ambiguity about what will happen to him… The story of Eleven and the rest of the gang. Hawkins, on the other hand, is a mystery. We can guess and guess, but we don’t know. I want to be at least a little surprised about what’s going on. That’s what draws me to Stranger Things.—Zach McAuliffe, via CNET.
