    I didn't know the series had started until the controversy. I'm so happy now because I have binge watched 3 episodes. Not all characters are likeable but that is normal in any story. This FEELS like an old school Star Wars movie and I'm here for it. I still remember going to the theater at the age of 7 and watching the first one on the big screen. I'm all in.

    I was skeptical about how much they could really fit in to this period of time, but this show is phenomenal! The acting is superb (and as a struggling actor myself, I’m picky about that), the story is wonderful and evocative, the scripting and directing are terrific.

    Aside from some weird logic and shaky cinematography, Obi-Wan Kenobi is narratively strong, bolstered by great performances and the quality special effects one has come to expect from Lucasfilm.

Instead, they talk a lot about the obsession to find Jedi, but then it's just talking. The worst parts are tension scenes, which miss the edge - I did not feel real danger. Chase scenes are even a bit silly. Let's hope (like always), that the rest will hold up. Expand

    Strong acting helps to elevate a fairly generic story. The action scenes will hopefully improve as the episodes progresses as they are the weakest parts.

    Don’t let the Fandom Menace fool you into thinking this show is no good. It’s a masterpiece that isn’t pushing any agenda or ideals like other SW properties have been accused of.
    The only controversy associated with this series is the viewership that call themselves SW fans, and push their own agenda instead of enjoying a great show.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such a fantastic show so far. Between the story, the characters, the connections with other Star Wars media, the cameos, and the acting…Just Bravo. Little Leia is an absolutely amazing addition as is 3rd Sister Reva (Youngling from the order 66 scene anyone?) Episodes 2 and 3 kept me on the edge of my seat and the cliffhangers keep me craving more. Ewan is again fantastic as Kenobi as well as Hayden as both Anakin and Vader and it was so wonderful for James Earl Jones, Jimmy Smits, and Joel Edgerton to reprise their roles. I fully understand now why Ewan was genuinely afraid to act with Vader. Absolutely ruthless portrayal of Darth Vader at his prime that was more than due. I hadn’t been so scared of him since playing Fallen Order! Taking off a half star until Kenobi says "Hello there" Expand

    Halfway through the series and it's overall a great chapter in the Star Wars story. Getting to see more of the journey of fan favorite Kenobi is a treat, with writing that explores the toll the clone wars and the fall of the Republic had on the former hero.

    Visuals are impressive as usual, with episodes getting away from desert planets and exploring new corners of the galaxy. Characters

    Visuals are impressive as usual, with episodes getting away from desert planets and exploring new corners of the galaxy. Characters are well acted across the board, with the exception of some moments with the antagonists feeling forced and "on-the-nose" versus their cartoon versions in Rebels.

    The cons of the show are minimal and easy to forgive. One chase scene in particular is laughable at moments but outside of that nothing to take you out of the experience. Don't let the toxic fandom make you believe this show is below average, it's great star wars that fans of all ages will enjoy.

    Perhaps the best Star Wars release since Disney purchased the rights. The casting is excellent and the story is incredibly tense and exciting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the third episode I can happily say that I am currently loving this series, the acting so far from Ewan is outstanding and finally getting to see Vader in his true form was fantastic, the slight horror-like episode done wonders showing the true fear that people had for Vader. Little Leia is hilarious and adorable at the same time with incredible acting and great lines. The inquisitors parts at the moment are the only real issue I have, the acting itself is great, it’s just at a lore point, some of their actions don’t feel true to their character but nothing that truly ruins anything. Reva herself is a character to be hated. But I feel like that’s the point, she isn’t meant to be a character to be loved as even the inquisitors don’t want to deal with her, Moses herself feels great, She brings a great dynamic to the show which leaves me wondering where her true intentions may actually lie. Only time will tell… the only real worry I have is that some plot holes are currently there which I’m hoping will end up sorting itself out by the end of the series. Over all, a fantastic watch and I’m exited for what the next few episodes will bring. Expand

    A show like Kenobi is one to behold. The story starts off with a BANG, as we are rushed through the Jedi temple during Order 66 as a Jedi master attempts to guide a group of younglings to safety as Jedi are purged in the background. What an opening! We jump to seeing Kenobi on the planet Tattooine, a different man from who we have been shown before. More reserved, less likely to put himself at risk for others, that is until the reintroduction of Bail Organa. Bail Organa requests the help of Kenobi after his adopted daughter, Leia Organa, is kidnapped from her home. This embarks Kenobi on a dangerous mission that could possibly reveal his presence to The Empire, the antagonist government of the series, known for hunting down Jedi using their warriors known as The Inquisitor’s. Obi-wan’s presence is revealed, as he is hunted by Reva, a newly introduced inquisitor of the series. Put in charge by Darth Vader after the murder of the Grand Inquisitor, Reva sets out to hunt down Kenobi in order to gain what is rightfully hers through his capture. Darth Vader, a creature of the darkness fueled by his hatred of Kenobi, is hell bent on the capture and torture of Kenobi by using any means necessary. This leads to one of the most gruesome scenes in Star Wars history, to which I will not reveal. Episode 3 had so much quality action and character development, it accurately showed what the halfway point of a limited series should look and feel like.

    The actors and actresses are absolutely phenomenal in their respective roles. The main cast is granted more and more time to shine as each episode goes by, and it has increased my interest in continuing this show. The show is not without its flaws, but the show does provide enough quality entertainment to where I can acknowledge and live with the flaws while still enjoying this show as it was originally intended. I highly recommend this show so far.

The recent Disney+ shows have been pretty good - most notably The Mandalorian Season 2 - and this is right up there with the second season if not better. The sets, acting, and everything else is fantastic so far, and I hope it all continues for the next several episodes. The surprise casting/character of the season is great (again, don’t listen to the trolls who will find a reason to complain about everything), and brings heart to the series. I’m a big fan of Rogue One and when Star Wars take a little more realistic, grown up approach, and if you’re like this. And if you are a fan of the prequels, or just have nostalgia for them, then you’ll love this, because it appears this series will do those characters right.

Obiwan Kenobi ist eine fantastische Serie über Obiwans Verarbeitung von Den Träumen aus den Clone Krieg Zeiten und wie wenig er noch auf die Macht noch Vertraut und dann muss er auch noch die 10jährige Leia vor dem Imperium retten. Fantastic! Expand

    Fantastically written. Excellent story. Everything it should be. Amazing to see Ewan Mcregor back as Obi-Wan! Will be watching the first three episodes I’ve seen so far again..!

    I was extremely worried they would screw this up, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully, the remaining episodes are as good.

    Obi-Wan had a larger problem: It was dumb as a rock. Simple rules of spatial logic went out the window. Main characters kept almost killing each other, and then walking away long enough for their wounded opponent could recover.

    McGregor is wholly up to the challenge of shouldering the emotional weight of this series, which feels less like a cynical cash grab (despite being that) than a natural continuation of the saga that Lucas crafted more than two decades ago.

    Ewan McGregor was last seen as Obi-Wan, he brings more depth, more of a world-weary wisdom to the role. ... As is the case with many a “Star Wars” title, the dialogue sometimes borders on the corny, but director Deborah Chow (“The Mandalorian”) has a keen sense of pacing and a distinct visual style that holds our interest even in the quieter moments. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is off to a roaring start.
