The Mandalorian season 3: Is this the most sensible premiere date?
The first thing we should note here is that more than likely, the folks at Disney probably aren’t going to share a lot more information about an air date for a good while, mostly because they don’t have to. At the moment, there are still more episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi that need to air, and we’ve also got Andor a little bit later in the summer. In general, there’s a lot that is happening the greater Star Wars universe.

Now, we’re going to go ahead and circle two different dates: Wednesday, February 15 and Friday, February 17. If Disney+ wanted to create the biggest launch possible for two of their biggest shows, that’s the time that makes the most sense.
Why these dates? It’s simple: The goal is to command as much of the narrative as possible. If season 3 premieres the week prior, Grogu could be sucked up slightly by either the Super Bowl (which is happening on February 12) or Valentine’s Day. After that, things start to clear up slightly. Sure, there is still some competition out there when it comes to February sweeps, but we don’t think that Disney+ is worried about network TV at this point. They’ll be able to handle this just fine.
It also makes sense to utilize the week after the Super Bowl in the event that you want to advertise during the Big Game. That is, after all, the best way to get publicity for just about anything these days.
We imagine that we’ll be waiting until at least the fall to get a specific premiere date, but that won’t stop us from talking about it in the interim…
