Disney+ has added a content warning to the details section of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s first episode following the tragic and horrific school shooting in Texas in Uvalde, stating, “There are certain scenes in this fictional series that some viewers could annoy.”
As reported by Deadline, this warning applies specifically to the opening of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s first episode, but it has already changed once since the episode premiered earlier today.
“Although this fictional series is a continuation of the story from Star Wars films filmed many years ago, given the recent tragic events, some scenes may be disturbing to viewers,” reads the note previously included in the details section. “Warning: Contains violence involving children.”
There is no warning before the episode airs, and it can only be viewed by specifically going to the episode’s Details tab. Disney said it is working to add a warning at the beginning of the episode as soon as possible.
“In light of recent tragic events, we recognize that there are certain scenes in this fictional series that some viewers may find disturbing and a content warning has been added to the show’s page,” a Disney spokesperson told Deadline today. “We are also working to add a pre-series notice as soon as possible.”

Netflix did something similar at the Season 4 premiere of Stranger Things, and this warning appears before the Season 3 recap in the first episode of the season for those in the US only.
