    I thought it was great, 7.5-8.0/10 based on the first three episodes, with room for improvement. Ignore the Metacritic trolls; the critics have this about right.

    I was skeptical at first but the 3rd episode really won me over. Loving this peek at this part of the Skywalker saga timeline. Young Leia delivers many of her lines like a sassy young Carrie Fisher might. And I need to know more about the Third Sister!

    Hello there! Great show so far, great characters and actors, in my opinion this is the best star wars mini series to date.

    Well written, well directed and old school. Characters are strongest part, not the CGI. Hopefully it will keep this level throughout all the season.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    I don’t agree with a lot of the criticism about the show. Sure the starts a little slow but it’s full of nostalgia and Ewan is great! Maybe the whole Leia rescue isn’t the most captivating story, but I doubt the show is going to revolve around that. There will be more planets and more action. I’m confident there will be plenty of surprises to come. Still plenty of time left.

    Great show with promise! Sure there hasn’t been much action in the two episodes but there’s plenty of buildup in a dramatic fashion.

    I am loving this show! Can't wait for the next episode. Showing the effect that Anakin's falling to the dark side has on Obi is great. We get to see that not only Anakin was affected but so was Obi. We can sense his guilt at failing Anakin.

    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

You really get to see how much of a monster he is and it is so fun to watch. Sad that salty people are trying to ruin it by leaving bad reviews. Wonderful show Expand

    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.
