This show has terrible writing and no respect for the characters. Not to mention a ton of issues:
-They bring down obi wan, so they can prop up other characters (Reva and Leia).
-Obi wan is shown as incompetent and has to take direction from a 10 year old who is shown as more competent then him.
-The episode 3 "fight" between obi wan and Vader is a joke. He runs away like a coward and has no skill whatsoever, even though he was shown in past episodes as competent enough to take down stormtroopers and gang members. (And this is the obi wan who was planning on training Luke in the future?. How does he plan on training Luke if hes so bad with the force?)

-Reva is such a badly written character. The show tries so hard to make Riva the antagonist at the expense of...wait for it...Vader. Again, they have to bring classic characters down in order to prop up another character that no one would even care about. The show treats Vader so poorly.
In the ep 3 "fight" with obi wan, how does a wall of fire stop Vader!? And as the droid carries Obi wan away, why doesn't Vader just use the force to pull obi wan back into the fire?

-The episode 4 interrogation scene with Leia is laughable and cringe.
-Don't get me started on the "Leila hiding under the coat" farce. I half expected Benny Hill music to play. How the hell could anyone not notice!? Such a ridiculous scene.

This show breaks canon, doesn't fundamentally understand and respect its characters, has so many plot holes and is just so frustrating to watch. It was marketed as a return of 2 classic characters, but then fools the audience by sideline/bringing down those characters to prop up others. Such a slap in the face to fans. Its such as shame as well that any genuine criticism is labelled as "toxic" by Disney instead of taking responsibility for the horrible writing and direction of the series.

This show finished any faith i had on star wars.. it's power rangers level of acting, characters, worldbuilding and dialogue. It's honnestly baffling the level of incompetence delivered by those hacktivist fraud.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disney Lucasfilm is misleading as ever since they bribed George Lucas. Lucasfilm Retcons the series, Kenobi already knew that Anakin and Vader are the same person and alive, a scene from episode 1 of Reva ruining that plot line, from ROTS proofs it. Padmé said "their still good in him" before episode 1 shows that this show is confusing, episode 4 Reva telling Leia that Obi-wan is dead when Leia doesn't know Ben's real name in a new hope. False advertising, lack of CGI, poor production, Obi-wan lightsaber not cutting up storm troopers its flying off the body like a banana, poor writing, boring characters, rushed the episodes, Bait and switch its all about Reva. Writer didn't do any research rather lazy. Disney Lucasfilm woke strikes again! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show has so many problems and not watchable at all. Where to begin?:

-Leia "running" away from the kidnappers in the forest?! Like how does a 10 year old run away from grown adults who "run" so slow and run into branches on purpose?! Really??
-Joke of a fight between Vader and obi wan. Obi wan is a coward who runs away with no skill whatsoever. What happened to him? How does he expect to train Luke and protect Luke in the future if hes such a bad fighter now?!
-Fire wall not stopping Vader, Vader not using the force to pull obi wan back into fire. Vader basically just letting them go.
-Obi wan and Leia trying to disable the laser gate when they could have obviously just walked around the gate!
-Tala slapping the storm trooper on the helmet and brings him down with a slap. really?
-Tala and the muffled choking of the troopers behind the machines. How can anyone not hear this!? so unbelievable.
-Obi Wan swimming in the ocean and coming out into the base, clothes dry, not wet at all, not dripping any water. Where did all the water go??! His clothes should be soaking wet! Also when obi wan escapes the hallway with flooded water and the door closes, no water comes out at all on the other side of door. Perfect timing from Tala! Congratulations! or maybe Obi Wan has magic clothes that repel water! Who knows with this show!?
-Obi wan hiding in a straight corridor from troopers who did not see him duck behind the wall. How the hell did the troopers not see him?!
-Obi wan hiding Leia in a trench coat! Who thought this was a good idea?! Practically and Visually ridiculous!
-Reva outsmarting Darth Vader while under a force choke. How did Reva know Leia would escape that she had the foresight to put a tracker on her droid? Darth should have killed Reva then and there, but no, she outsmarts him and lives.
-The Reva lightsaber deflections with the snow-speeder in the hanger. It was so awkwardly filmed and angled.
-The snow-speeder pilot dies and there's this long montage of sad faces. I'm sorry, are we supposed to feel sad for a character we just met briefly at the start of the show and know nothing about? The show is so badly directed and written with no attention to detail at all. It feels like just one scene moving onto the next scene with hardly any connection at all. Just set piece moving onto next set piece. This Leia kidnapping should have been over by episode 3. But this keeps dragging on with only 2 episodes left.
What role does Hayden have left? We barely saw him. Fans expected some dialogue and interaction, maybe a flashback with Hayden and Ewan. All we got was Hayden staring far away at Ewan. No interaction at all between the two actors. Hayden better have something to do in the last 2 episodes of the show.

This show was marketed with Hayden and Ewan heavily by Disney before the premiere, with some Reva and no mention at all of Leia. It was a bait and switch. This show is titled "Obi Wan", yet he's a side character. Reva should be a supporting character at best. I am so done with this show.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dumbest chase scenes in the history of cinema. In this universe, 10 year old kids have the sprinting power of a doped up olympic athlete. Villains are stopped by cloth awnings and small fires they could easily circumvent.

This show must of been produced by people with an institutional loathing for the human race. Proof? Despite seeing all the death and destruction wrought by Vader, Obi-Wan spares his life a SECOND TIME. Nonsensical to the extreme. It would have been so much more interesting to conceive of a scene where they were unable to fight and had some stimulating dialogue instead.

Most of the acting falls in the subpar to embarrassing range with the ironically enough the best performance coming from a brief cameo from Ewan McGregor's IRL daughter. I would say her performance, the Jedi vs Storms at the beginning and the second V vs. Obi Wan duel are the only redeeming moments in this otherwise insulting endeavour.

I DO NOT consider this steaming, heaping pile of garbage canon. Instead, it should be relegated to the trash compactor.

I set my expectations for this "show" real low, and yet it managed to underperform.
Nothing makes sense, never, the plot constantly contradicts everything that was said and done both in the Original Trilogy and in the Prequel Trilogy, old characters that have always behaved in a certain manner suddenly became something else entirely in this series, the new ridiculously uninteresting and incredibly poorly written characters are the real protagonists of the entire thing, outshining what should be the two stars, Vader and Obi-Wan and the action scenes are worthless and badly choreographed.
The entire show feels like it was written, directed and edited by a 5 year old and that is mostly because in pure Kennedy/SJW fashion, the appointed director was chosen merely because it was a woman, instead of the talent and it show: the goddamn camera shakes furiously 90% of time as if we were watching some mocumentary and the vast majority of the shots are complete trash.
Soundtrack is awful, poorly composed and doesn't create any sort of emotion, just like the rest, and there is barely any hint at the masterpiece of John Williams.
Overall, this is easily on par with the Sequel Trilogy for how ugly, useless, badly written and full of filler characters it is, with the stark difference that THIS have Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in it and still manages to not only be trash, but also make the two most beloved Star Wars characters look like complete morons.

This deserves a low star rating. Most of the actors are forgettable. It's like watching Surf Ninjas or the American version of Power Rangers but with tons of money sunk into production costs. The overacting is cringy, the situations are unbelievable, and the writers don't seem to understand human characteristics or societal nature, instead substituting a strictly one dimensional superficiality in its viewpoint of what a story arc should be. I find it sad that Disney wasted our time with a recap only to showcase how ridiculously drastic they can make characters change in order to be a slave to that previously mentioned one dimensional story arc.

Maybe they should have spent more time in the lab, with a pen and a pad, taking notes on the multitude of references they had in the form of Star Wars books.

The source material has already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. All they have to do is transcribe it from book to screen, and you'd have the best show of the decade. It's so simple. You have to be a extremely bad writer/director/producer to make something so great so bad. It's also extremely unethical to take someone's life's work and change the source material with such disrespect. Then, just to make everything so much worse, you add on top of that fan baiting. Fan Baiting is done on purpose to not only stir up controversy for publicity but also serves as a barrier to real criticism and ensures that the show will succeed because if anyone has a different opinion, they will just be labeled as a "racist/sexist/transphobe/etc." and their opinion is ignored. It's a method to make everyone think you're virtuous when really you're just a horrible person spreading hate with anyone who has a different opinion than your own. You act like you're fighting fascism by spreading and using fascism. It's hypocrisy in action. Expand

Its what you'd expect from a Disney Star Wars show.

The writing is so bland and feels like its written to robotically serve scenes, as if they were in an office like "Hey we need these characters to have some conflict with each other" but then add the most basic surface level reasoning for having said conflict.

The action scenes are entirely nonsensical and terribly shot, it will have you laughing at how bad it is. Like every other scene, it feels like it was shot in a bluescreen with wires. There was a parkour scene that was so weirdly slow and sluggish and was painfully obvious that wires were used.

Vader was cool because hes not very hard to mess up, but even then the writing brings him down a lot. This show just retcons a bunch of things that are said in episode 4 which just throws continuity out the window

This show, like every other star wars show has absolutely no reason to exist and Obi Wan would be much better off without it.

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

AntiCringmoviesJul 28, 2023
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This represent's Disney's penultimate failure to understand the Star Wars universe, and furthermore exaggerates that when die-hard fans of the series aren't ultimately in charge of decision making, and give way to studio agenda, franchises will continue to be destroyed by the great unwashed march of corporate greed. This failure is ultimately summarized in the mishandling of the final face off between Vader and Ben. The misguided need for fan service and spectacle undermines the true, and logical narrative. Obi-wan, post the event's of Phantom Menace, as a student of Qui-Gon realised the ineffectiveness of his master's form due to his demise. This casts his character as adaptive and gains him the perogative of furthering himself, and his actions, to prevent further tragedies... After all, he is considered the "Perfect Jedi" by many. It strikes me as not only pathetic, but utterly negligent, why the writers of this series chose to provide him an opportunity to redeem his previous mistake (leaving Vader alive) whilst also depriving him of the only reasonable explanation for doing so (perhaps feeling Anakin is redeemable) as he accepts that Anakin is dead and only Vader now exists. As to why he allowed Vader to live is a metaphor for the failure of this series, they don't seek to create a coherent and logical storyline, they only wish to shoehorn in characters between main story lines for monetary gain. It goes without saying, if Obi-Wan truley was the adaptive "perfect Jedi" set up by the sequels, he would have no choice, nay, no issue with striking down Vader to destruction if he had the chance. He did have the chance in the series, and thus this exemplifies the absolute detriment this series has on the overall world, and subsequent storylines. Reva was also an exceptionally shallow character and the series gave the impression it should have been named "Reva: and Obi-Wan story" more than anything else. Terrible. 2/5. I would award it 1/5, but Ewans is such a treasure he ad's a point. Expand
