I sort of think it might make more sense from a business perspective and creating longer-lasting buzz about a show. I feel like when a show releases on Netflix, it gets a moment of buzz and then sort of goes radio silent. Some break through and become hits like Stranger Things, but I feel like soo much of their content comes and goes without anybody noticing it.
When you release episode by episode, and there are reviews out there of each episode, it sort of maintains a longer presence in the news cycle, and can attract new viewers/subscribers. I get that some of our habits are formed to want to binge, but I would guess there's a business advantage to the weekly schedule.
Although in this instance, I don't know how much prolonged media exposure a Star Wars series necessarily needs to gain more viewers, but in general I think it makes sense with content at such a high right now.
