We’re already a week beyond the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the viewing figures clearly show the popularity of the 6-part limited series as it surpasses the finale of The Book of Boba Fett to bring in a 1.8 million audience from Wednesday to Sunday, up 20% on TBOBF’s 1.5 million.

The season one finale of Disney+/Lucasfilm’s Obi-Wan Kenobi drew a five-day Wednesday through Sunday audience of 1.8 million U.S. households, which is 20% higher than the Wednesday through Sunday five-day pull for The Book of Boba Fett finale, which clocked 1.5M U.S. households.

The data comes from Samba TV, which measures streaming viewership in 3 million U.S. terrestrial TV households for those who’ve watched a show for at least five minutes.

Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s premiere dropped on the Friday of the four-day Memorial Day weekend in May, and during that time brought in 2.14M, besting the L+3D numbers of The Mandalorian Season 2 premiere (2.08M), The Book of Boba Fett premiere (1.5M), and Marvel’s Moon Knight (1.6M). Typically there’s a dip in viewership between the first episode of a Disney+/Marvel or Lucasfilm series and its finale — roughly a shed of 200,000 households. Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had one of the best five-day viewership holds between its premiere and finale, going from 1.8M to 1.7M U.S. households, a 6% dip.
