This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s good to see Star Wars no longer running from the Prequels and confronting the ramifications of the events of those movies head-on. So far, after 3 episodes, this series is very much a vehicle for exploring Obi-Wan’s damage after failing to save Anakin and contributing to the fall of the Jedi Order; Ewan McGregor, backed by an incisive script, approaches the material with emotionally appropriate gravitas and his return to this classic character who he helped define (and helped to define him) in the pop culture zeitgeist after so many years is a triumph.

Vivien Blair’s portrayal of little Leia does Carrie Fisher a great service and is perhaps a better homage to the spirit Carrie brought to Star Wars than even her posthumous appearance in Rise of Skywalker. Leia is also a constant reminder of Padme for Obi-Wan, an emotional core the series makes great use of. But most of all, just seeing the banter between these two witty characters is a joy to experience. While much more somber than many other entries in the Saga, there is still plenty of the world-hopping action and fun world-building we come to Star Wars to experience. Obi-Wan is a proud edition to the Saga and a must-see for Star Wars fans young and old.… Expand

The narrative of the story and the emotion of the characters especially with Ewan McGregor's portrayal of a broken and emotionally flawed Obi Wan Kenobi has made me wanting more.

Sure Reva and the rest of the Inquisitors completely suck but they are meant to, they are scrub wannabe Sith who don't deserve the title and thus act accordingly. Plenty of Vader screentime which surprised me only half way into the season. I look forward to the rest of the episodes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far this is a great series. We get to see a very broken Obi Wan after the events of Revenge of the Sith. Not only is he in hiding but is also trying to come to terms with the “death” of Anakin Skywalker and his failure to save his old apprentice. Quickly he is pushed back into the action to save a young Leia Organa. Upon which he learns about the survival of his former apprentice turned Sith Lord. Darth Vader’s character in this could not be a truer rendition of the Vader we deserve but also the Vader we now have. He is dark, merciless and without question the biggest badass to grace the small screen in a while. Could not rate this series more. 3 episodes in and I am hooked. Every character and every scene is perfectly put together and the actors nail each role. Ewan McGregor is amazing back in his role as Obi Wan.… Expand

I'm very interested to see how he reconciles his past and becomes the happier and more hopeful version of the character that was portrayed by Alec Guinness. I've never seen Darth Vader be so brutal as he was in Part III, not even his hallway scene in Rogue One was this scary.

To all the people who say the Vader v Obi-Wan fight was very underwhelming, it was meant to be. This fight was meant to show how much Obi-Wan had weakened over the years and was not meant to be the "rematch of the century" that was promised. Wait until the last episode, then I'm sure we'll get the epic clash we've been expecting.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER WARNING FOR EPISODE 3.

Episode 1-2 were okay, slow build and Reva was mediocre.
But I don’t think I can put into words how outstanding episode 3 is. Spoiler warning again, my favorite things are listed below.

Kenobi sees Anakin in his Jedi knight robes all PTSD’d out.
Kenobi opens up to leia about his past, he has a brother and remembers his family.
Reva is finally good in this episode, menacing and calculated. Backed by Vader.
Vader voiced by James Earl Jones, absolute legend. Played by Hayden Christensen, absolute legend.
Scene where kenobi takes out the stormtrooper outpost John Wick style.
Stormtrooper gets cut in half.
Quinlin Vos confirmed alive in canon.
Vader’s appearance, OMG. Literally had me all types of anxious, heart pounding. Loved that. Top tier star wars content.
Vader snapping necks.
Vader’s Michael Myers esque combat, slow and menacing. Just walks. Hunting kenobi rather than fighting him.
Kenobi’s lightsaber POV during the fight/chase, swinging it around in the dark aimlessly. Horror movie feel.
Vader dragging kenobi through the flames like a marshmallow that fell of the stick at a bonfire.

I don’t even really care what happens next, this episode alone earns the show the highest rating for me.… Expand

It can be a little bit cheesy, but that comes with the territory. Ewan is great in his return and brings excellent gravitas. The special effects are remarkably excellent for a streaming series. It's full of easter eggs that link it to the films and Clone Wars/Rebels. Stepping back and just watching this as a continuation of Obi-Wan's story after the events of Revenge of the Sith, it's really cool how consistent it is with the prior films. This is bolstered by the return of actors for even small parts, like Joel Edgerton as Owen. It's also cool to see some of the repercussions of the clone wars and the fall of the Jedi in live-action. This show definitely occupies a unique place in pantheon, and I'm glad they took a chance on bringing this story to life. I will definitely update my review as the episodes keep coming and adjust accordingly if the quality changes as a whole by the end of the series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show has all of the elements you hope to find in Star Wars-related content. Something that will keep you suspended on the edge of your seat but with enough nods to the stuff you love to make you smile. The Acting from the cast is perfect with Ewan McGregor leading the charge with another great performance that encapsulates a blend of Alec Guinness and The Prequels with new layers that makes the character feel relatable without losing its familiarity. Vivian Lyra Blair as a young Princess Leia encapsulates the very essence of the late Carrie Fisher from her priceless and sharp wit to her inspirational grace wrapped in a youthful innocence filled with hopefulness. On the antagonistic side, we get a very straight-laced militaristic performance from Moses Ingram as Reva a.k.a The Third Sister which (although people have often criticized this as "wooden") I think offers a lot of potential for development, especially into what is left of the series. As for Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader. This alone is a perfect selling point. Although what we've seen by this point (episode 4) is very little. Hayden as Vader is a real scene-stealer whose performance carries a level of fear and suspense that makes Vader who he is.

The directing style and decisions made by Deborah Chow have been fun to watch, from the teaming up of Obi-Wan and Leia to the use of Reva as an aggressor and cunning opposition in this almost cat and mouse chase. Overall I can't wait for the remaining half of this series (and if the rumors are to be believed A prospected second series). Sure the show has its slight imperfections (especially probably due to Covid or the regular mixture of opinions found in making TV or Film.) however it's a perfect show to sit back and immerse yourself into.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, the series is excellent thus far. Some fans may initially be put off by Obi-Wan's very apparent defeated state-of-mind, but patient fans will be rewarded with the character development that results from it. Obi-Wan's reluctance and downright refusal to help or intervene in situations the Jedi Master audiences know would have previously engaged in only highlights how deeply the character was impacted from the Republic's downfall, the destruction of the Jedi Order, and yes, the loss of Anakin. This starting place fills in the gap of understanding just how much losing Anakin impacted him and how close Obi-Wan felt to Anakin, something the Prequels did not establish well, in my opinion. A minor criticism would be the way in which Obi-Wan learns that his former friend did not die on Mustafar and actually survived and is actively seeking him out lacked gravitas and feels like afterthought. I can only think of the failed opportunity for Obi-Wan to have learned the truth from the actual encounter with Vader, a poetic echo resembling the way Luke learned the truth in Empire Strikes Back. On the other hand, a strength of this series is the relationship that begins to build between Obi-Wan and the other twin, doing justice for the character as well as Padme's legacy. It helps to highlight that both twins would be integral to the eventual downfall of the Empire. Fans can understandably be confused or disappointed as the Obi-Wan we are presented with appears to lack the moral clarity seen in the Prequels or the return-to action call in a New Hope, but I believe that fans will see Obi-Wan regain his mojo and confidence. There is no question that Obi-Wan has, despite his demons, not abandoned the hope for the Jedi. Audiences only have to see how much he watches over Luke to know this to be true. He's defeated, but like good hero stories, even the best have to fall down and get back up again. After all, thanks to Star Wars Rebels, we know that Obi-Wan achieves his return to purpose.… Expand
