So bad I had to make an account to give it 0/10.
Watch it and you'll see, or (if you're a Starwars fan) save your time and give it a miss.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disney has done Obi-Wan a disservice with 'Kenobi'. A prime example of the creative bankruptcy running rife through Western cinema and television. The writing for this show is appalling, especially considering the talent Disney can afford. Logic is thrown out the window and key details are not explained sufficiently meaning main plot points happen for....'reasons' rather than making sense and being well thought out. Evil characters are unnecessarily incompetent and Obi-Wan is relegated to being a side character in his own show at times. The directing style is also a mess. Numerous scenes play out as comedic when they are supposed to be serious. Examples of this include the chase scene in the forest where grown adults are unable to catch a child and are stopped by a small branch. Or when Obi-wan is walking through an imperial base with Leia under a great coat which numerous imperial personnel do not notice - it seems like a scene from 'Austin Powers'. Again, at no point has someone stopped to think, does this logically and realistically make sense. Yes it is a sci-fi but you need to ground your show in reality to make the setting believable. The cinematography is poor, often contrast is turned down so the scene is overly dark. Generally, it feels cheap overall as if the series was rushed. Surprising considering this story features Kenobi/Vader story.

Acting ranges from decent to laughable. Ewan McGregor does his best with a bad script. Moses Ingram acting is awful, she literally has one setting - angry and even that isn't convincing. Vivien Blair is competent but the writing for her character makes her unlikeable and annoying (this isn't the actresses fault).

Overall, a wasted opportunity that could have been so much more but let down by poor directing and writing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El guión no es malo, la historia está ahí y es canon. Podría ser una película numerada de la saga. Cuenta lo ocurrido entre los años que pasan del ep.3 al 4.
El problema es que está todo mal ejecutado y con una increible falta de talento que se lo todo hasta ridículo.
Las escenas de acción son flojas, hasta cómicas a veces.
La música es INEXISTENTE, no acompaña adecuadamente en ningún momento y para colmo no tiene temas iconicos de las películas. No entiendo cómo no se usa la marcha imperial cuando aparece Dark Vader.
Y puedo seguir con los fallos, las persecuciones son patéticas, hay escenas que pierden coherencia de unas a otras y en general está todo muy encorsetado.
Da la sensación que los creadores no han visto las peliculas.
Para mi pueden ahorrarse la segunda temporada.… Expand

C’est qu’ici, à part Obi-Wan (bien campé par McGregor) et Vador (Christensen de retour sous le masque) tout sonne étonnamment faux et sent le réchauffé… En effet, dans The Mandolorian, le casqué trimbalait bébé Yoda et là… c’est Kenobi qui promène la gamine Leia dans toute la galaxie, une gamine tout aussi mal caractérisée que le reste, et accessoirement une pisseuse insupportable et ridicule.

Les deux derniers épisodes de la série (sur les six seulement) signent l’effondrement d’un scénario qui part en vrille et qui nous sert en toute décontraction des rebondissements complètement aberrants… on n’en revient pas : c’est vraiment n’importe quoi !

Malgré une réalisation et des effets spéciaux de bon aloi (pour une série s’entend), « Obi-Wan Kenobi » loupe donc le coche et bien des opportunités de développement des enjeux à venir entre la prélogie (déjà bâclée par Geroges, le nain de jardin lui-même) et la trilogie originale. Bref, un non-évènement en soi, résultat de l’ogre Disniais toujours prompt à salir toutes les licences dont il dispose… malgré ici ou là quelques bonnes idées lors des deux premiers épisodes mais qui font long feu, hélas.… Expand

She can survive being killed by Vader (twice now) and magically travels to the planet Luke is on in record time.

This series just has too many flaws to ignore. By that I mean that almost every movie or series has logic flaws or something like that, but when it's a string of them from beginning to end, it's just too many.

More garbage exploiting a beloved character in order to foist a new woke-approved character onto a gullible or ignorant audience. Cynical propaganda at its worst. I was done with Star Wars a long time ago, still these new barbs sting.

And no, it's not "racism" or "misogyny", it's just the most primitive way to push feminism with no regards to plot holes, characters and logic. It well deserves a 0 rating. At least be honest and call it "Star Wars - the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Reva!" or "Beta-Wan Kenobi".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to enjoy this, I really did. However Disney makes me abhor what Star Wars has become.

It started off so promising and crashed and burned without offering a single new insight.

There are so many illogical fallicies with the whole series, Obi-Wan should have told Bail Organa to go swivel as Bail failed in his mission to protect Leia on a planet he ran where there were many guards to protect her. Thus enforcing Obi-Wan into action and leaving Luke exposed with no real protection.

The series then meandered on with what felt like at least 4 filler episodes, during which we learned Obi-Wan can't keep his cover, he can't walk around a gate exposed at both sides and thinks walking through a hangar as a 4 legged hunchback is a good way of not being noticed by Imperials hunting for you; so much for wise old Obi-Wan.

We also learn Leia is suddenly a tech genius which was never shown when the Millennium Falcon had its numerous issues and she later has no memory of Obi-Wan come a New Hope, figure that one out.

Then we get onto Reva, a character that tries to torture a child for information despite knowing this child has had no involvement with this underground as Reva had set up this kidnapping.

Then later it turns out Reva is working against Vader because he killed Jedi and younglings. So in order to enact out her revenge and get close to Vader she kills Jedi and younglings...???

Anyway Reva allegedly "redeems" herself in the last episode; saving a child by not deciding to go through with their murder because now attempted murder is suddenly an admiral trait and heroic now.

Also anyone notice how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru hold their own against a very dangerous and skilled Inquisitor but can't fend off Stormtroopers that can't shoot for toffee. I was stunned considering it's only 6 years between this and A New Hope.

I will say there were flickers of potential like Vader brutalising Obi Wan and being such a vicious tyrant in a few scenes but at the same time he failed to finish off Reva which seemed really out of step with the character. Also the lightsaber battles felt forced and poorly blocked in each encounter Vader had with Obi-Wan. On top of that he flashback scenes making Hayden look like an old man pretending to be a younger man felt a bit sad to see really.

Qui Gon turning up at the end was great but why couldn't we have started with that and had Qui Gon training Obi Wan to be one with the living force as the overarching story and eventually coming to blows with Vader without the silly kidnapping angle.

Instead what we got was repeated remnants of Episode III with no further character development and more plots holes that further muddy up the lore.

Unfortunately this series fails to offer any new insights into the characters that we didn't previously know.

Its a very badly written tale that had characters acting against their own best interests and the plot was quite choppy at times but this all made sense when I looked at the calibre of the writers and their previous projects.

It's sad to see Star Wars failing on such a level that with each new Star Wars story brought to screen, it becomes more watered down and the prequels suddenly seem better in comparison.… Expand

If you thought Kenobi had failed Anakin, then prepare yourself to see him fail asn The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker we had Jake Skywalker, now we got Jake Kenobi. This show is almost a slap in the face of the character Obi-Wan Kenobi. If you thought Kenobi had failed Anakin, then prepare yourself to see him fail as Luke's protector as well. But also prepare yourself to understand why Vader was right when he said in A New Hope "Your powers are weak old man". This Kenobi doesn't feel like a Jedi. He doesn't even act as a Jedi. And ten years since Revenge of the Sith he has really let himself go. You even get to understand, but at the same time be shocked, by the revelation as to why neither Luke or Leia were trained earlier as soon as they started to show signs of their Force abilities. Kenobi doesn't feel like a Jedi and the Inquisitors... Those definitely do not feel like anything. I honestly couldn't care less about Reva, or whatever is the axe she has to grind with Kenobi. If anything Reva serves no real purpose except to make Kenobi look bad at everything he does. There's nothing salvageable about this show. Nothing worth watching. No cameo appearance of Vader will save this disaster. If anything it will only ruin the lore and story of the original trilogy. If you have followed Star Wars from the beginning. If you have read or played most of the material. If you're a hardcore fan of Star Wars then the first thing you'll notice, if you don't let the hype blind you, is that this is not Star Wars. It may try to look like it, it may use the same names, but it's definitely not Star Wars. And to think that Disney/Lucasfilm could fail so miserably with a character that has so much potential. Was I surprised that the show was not good? No. Was I surprised that the show was this bad? A little. Yes. This is something only for those that are just blind followers of the character, that don't care at all what they're being given as long as they're being given something.… Expand

Once again, it’s as though Disney carelessly handed over the beloved Star Wars series to a director who hasn’t even seen one installment. The story and writing lacks in depth, music is horrible (aside from Williams’s pieces) and many of the actors are laughable; Ewan is the only redeeming element. The high inquisitor doesn’t even make it past the second episode, no one knows who the hell Reva is or how she would even know Darth Vader is anakin. There are so many cheesy lines and cracked jokes, you’d think it’s a marvel movie. I honestly got to a point where I was laughing because it was all so absurd. No one catch a slow 10 year old girl, the chase scenes went on forever and apparently the force can now be used to read thoughts? I left a small pocket of hope for this series when I knew Ewan and Hayden would be making a comeback but now I don’t even want to watch the rest for fear that they’ll ruin Vader as well. Directors like Gareth Edwards (rogue one) have proved its not hard to make an authentic, worth while installment, so for the life of me I can’t figure out why Disney keeps handing the reigns to little known directors that have no idea what they’re doing. At this point, it’s all a pathetic cash grab and deeply disappointing.… Expand
