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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A dumb episode, shoddy worldbuilding, and some odd choices in terms of production value aside, this is a fantastic show. A wonderful atmosphere, great characters, great action when it occurs (usually), great acting, and an emotional story are what make this show fantastic. Obi-Wan and Leia are phenomenal. And you people should stop complaining about Reva, she is a fantastic character. And that final episode... Wow. Obi-Wan and Vader's emotional duel, and when Leia says the Anakin thing and everything is just tied together so beautifully and sadly... Oh my gosh, I'm tearing up. It certainly has flaws, but the writing, acting, and atmosphere make up for them beautifully.
8.5/10

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

I am loving the show so far. How Obi Wan barely copes after the empire takes over. Im loving seeing tiny princess Leia. The strong bad guys that star wars gas always had. I cant wait for the next episode.

Firstly the acting isnt great, storyline pathetic, costumes etc not worthy of the star wars franchise, The young Leia is supposed to be 10 but looks about 6 and the chasing scenes are just ridiculous (hence the power rangers example as well as the costumes). Suprised that nobody has really picked up on the fact that according to leia in the new hope she didnt know obi wan as he served under her father in the clone wars, well it turns out she had forgotten 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.

All they have to doI don't know what it is, modern feminists or woke equity politics, but how do you do such a bad job with something so easy. 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

The first thing I can say is that the actor for Obi Wan is PHENOMENAL and easily the best part about this show with how he delivers the feeling of hopelessness and PTSD with such subtle expressions and learns to trust himself again with slow development overtime which is a nice bit of fresh air from The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian Season 3 who couldn't care less about their main characters and focused too much on the side characters. Darth Vader is also a great character here with what's happened to him before taking place here and it feels heartbreaking to see him this way when you remember who he was and the show even does a great job making it feel that way. The character development between Obi-Wan and Leia is great FOR THE MOST PART since it's great at helping them both learn to trust each other and the bond they create feels realistic and earned and actually even fixes a plot hole in the 1977 film where Leia somehow knew Obi-Wan there. Finally, the last episode of the show was simply beautiful with the camera shots, fight choreography, soundtrack, and characters that were present were all at their A-game and is simply the best part of the show. HOWEVER, despite this show's strengths, there are some major problems with this show that prevent me from ever watching it again. Despite how the last episode is phenomenal, I can't say the same thing about the other episodes with how little care went into the writing, side characters, pacing, and plot. Firstly, the show literally did the exact opposite of The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian Season 3 by developing so much on Obi Wan, the side characters don't get nearly as much attention and mixing that with the pretty weak writing means there's simply nothing memorable about them. Something that goes completely unnoticed is how there's an insane amount of camera shake during the lightsaber fight in the last episode, making it feel like a good fan film rather than a Lucasfilm production. And finally, the pacing is completely inconsistent and ruins the flow of the show which in turn leads to a stupid amount of plot holes here KILLING rewatchability. Overall, despite the great things about this show, there are a lot of problems here that make me hesitate on recommending this show that it's genuinely disappointing to see how far Star Wars has fallen from its initial rise back then to where it is now.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ leaves a never-ending feeling of cringe, yet somehow manages to keep one's interest in learning more about the Star Wars lore.

Upon first glance, the whole series appears tragically horrible and can only be viewed as a cheap parody. There are some exceptionally bad scenes, such as when two green monsters chase a girl in the second episode – it's embarrassing and stupid.

The portrayal of the inquisitors, specifically the white man with implants and the black woman, seems like something only a very young and impressionable mind or a diseased one could produce. It's difficult to imagine these roles being done worse or more stupidly. This bottom line signifies the bad state of the whole industry.

One can't help but ask themselves and the creators of this series, "How is it possible to do something like this with the Star Wars universe? Why does it even exist?" These questions repeat themselves, episode after episode, moment after moment on the screen.

Why is the end product of the film production company so bad? What caused them to create such a strange, very, very, very stupid, and cheap-looking movie? Why did they make it?

Did they do it just for money? Can't they find any other ways to feed their families? Or are they all sick with mental disorders and other mental health issues that prevent them from being objective and productive at work?

Who allowed these actors to play these roles? How did that happen? Who was reviewing the shooting? How come these main plane roles are so stupid and unprofessional?

The girl playing the dark inquisitor is overplaying her role with brutality in her voice, which is super cringe. The white hypnotizer, who looks like a Sith, is wack when trying to play the mesmerizer, like a stupid scammer similar to the one pretending to be a Jedi in the second episode.

The whole crew and all actors, as a whole, seem like that scammer. That is their collective image. If you could make a persona out of the whole production process and final result analysis, that would be it.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ is not a movie about the Jedi, and it cannot be considered a real Star Wars universe movie. It's a pure lore and fanfic product, not a genuine continuation or extension of the original Star Wars. It's merely made to play with the lore, use the atmosphere and some parts of the initial story as the environment to be in.

However, one can't help but question, who are these newcomers? Do they deserve to play with such a great universe? Perhaps only at Comic-Con but not in real life.

Why was this series even made? It seems like it was only created to make some money without any passion or care for the Star Wars franchise. The actors are only concerned about their salary and their own careers, with no real interest in the story. It's disappointing that no one seems to care about Star Wars anymore.

Although the series has some interesting details, characters, and events from the Star Wars universe, it ultimately feels more cringe than genuinely interesting. Unfortunately, this seems to be a trend in recent Hollywood, Marvel, Netflix, and Disney Plus series. The global culture influenced by American movies is lowering the standard for quality entertainment.

The 3D episode with the yellow door opening robot leaves an ambiguous impression, much like the series as a whole. The robot is well-designed, but lacks any real personality. The creators were too lazy to invest time into developing its character, which is disappointing compared to iconic robots like C3PO or R2D2 from the original movies.

The portrayal of Darth Vader in the third episode is more comical than terrifying, as if they were trying to create a meme rather than a serious movie. It's a missed opportunity to create something genuinely science fiction and futuristic in the Star Wars universe.

The main hero, Obi-Wan, is a disappointment. He lacks the wisdom and maturity that you would expect from someone with the name Obi-Wan Kenobi. Instead, he seems like an always-frightened man with a lot of doubts, which is not what viewers want to see. It's possible that the actor himself was unsure of his role and the whole project, which comes across in his performance.

The director and background scene makers may have felt proud of their work, but the overall result feels rough, fast, and brutal. It's as if they were more concerned with their own egos than creating a quality production.

In conclusion, this series feels like a missed opportunity to create something truly great in the Star Wars universe. Despite some interesting elements, it ultimately falls short of expectations.

And the villains are all just silly and boring. You can see the reveals coming a mile away. Ewan McGregor does a solid job but the script is terrible. Very little of it makes any sense and the characters besides Obi-Wan just aren't interesting at all. And despite this show costing almost $100 million to make, somehow it feels cheap. The directing is bad too. It is still better than some of the atrocities of the prequel or sequel trilogies, but that is not saying much. Thank god we have Andor and The Mandalorian or else I might have to give up on being a Star Wars fan. Expand

Ну, честно говоря, сериал про Оби Вана Кеноби понравился мне больше Мандалорца и Книги Бобы Фетта.
Почему?
Да потому, что в этом сериале наконец то появились джедаи. Джедаи - основа Звёздных войн. Ёлы палы как я по ним соскучился. Джедаи - дебилы из последней трилогии не в счёт.
Наконец то в сериальном формате появились световые мечи и сражения на них. Хотя по началу было непонятно, возьмётся ли Бэн за световой меч снова или нет. Но опасения оказались напрасными. Нам снова показали настоящие бои из "Звёздных войн". Мало того показали бой с Дартом Вейдером, такого не было со времён "Изгоя один".
Макгрегор молодец, Оби Ван в его исполнении всё ещё вызывает ностальгию. В отличии от постаревшего и располневшего Фетта из "Книги", а так же нарисованного Люка из "Мандалорца".
Да есть свои недостатки. Почему то фильм очень тёмный, особенно сцены со сражениями на световых мечах. Прям светомузыка какая то, но вероятно это задумка авторов.
Конечно 40 летний Кристенсен забавно смотрится в роли 17ти летнего Энакина во флешбэках Вейдера. Но всё равно впечатляет и всё равно выглядит круто. Как будто в 2002 год вернулся.
Не очень понравился кастинг юной актрисы на роль Леи. Слишком маленькая, неубедительно играет.
Конечно хватает некой нелогичности в действиях персонажей, но это родовая травма всех диснеевских "Звёздных войн".
Хотя это всё мелочи. Я уже говорил, как по мне, то это лучший сериал из трёх вышедших. Обязательно пересмотрю все серии разом. Жду второго сезона!
Да ещё в сериале показали Альдераан, уничтоженный в четвёртом эпизоде.
Оценку ставлю именно как сериалу!

El punto central de la cuestión, es que hoy en día en muchas sociedades hay libertad de expresión, lo que permite que puedas dar tu libre opinión, pero, poder decir lo que pensás con libertad, no significa que siempre debas hacerlo. Eso es lo que está haciendo últimamente Disney con los fans y los fans con Disney, una incesante carrera en la que ambos se viven molestando. Pero Disney parece que olvidó algo importante y eso es que al final del día, los fans son lo más importante, porque son los que deciden si tu producto fue bueno o malo, independientemente de la crítica.

Como dije en el título, en la serie cambiabas el nombre de Kenobi por la de algún otro Jedi random y era lo mismo, obviamente ajustando unas pequeñas cosas, pero era básicamente lo mismo. Creo que de esta manera los fans hubiesen sido menos duros con una serie(aunque la misma no dejaría de ser floja en otras cuestiones).

Hay agujeros en la trama, personajes innecesarios, problemas con algunos efectos especiales, malas actuaciones y un Kenobi que durante los primeros casi cinco episodios da lástima(Lo mejor a mi parecer es Indira) No voy a entrar en detalles debido a que no quiero poner spoilers, porque la serie la tienen que ver y juzgar ustedes mismos. Pero recomiendo que la vean como si fueran nuevos en el mundo de star wars, si no no la vas a disfrutar demasiado. A mi en particular me pareció meh, nada del otro mundo, una serie que no aporta nada, como muchas de las últimas cosas del mundo de star wars

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 3 episodes in, and there are so many plot holes. But for the low hanging fruit first. Three bandits can't chase a 10th at old down? Dearth Vader can force grab ObiWan but can cross the fire or grab him again before the droid drags him from the flames??? "How old are you?"-Ben to Leia, seriously??? You've been watching Luke for 10 years, they're twins.

CGI can't make up for the lackluster settings, I'd rather watch the prequels, this is bad. Dialogue is worse than a preteens diary.

I want to like this, I really do. I like Ewan McGregor, and seeing Darth Vader again, but this is garbage.

Don't think the show is good because of the positive reviews. Disney bots and reylos brigaded to positive review this.

And because of it, we have yet another horrid, horrific , vomit-inducing TV show "about" Star Wars.
The plot, script and actors (young princess Leia is cringeworthy..) are awful. Ewan is lost in it and Obi-Wan is a caricature of the character that once was played by Sir Alec Guiness.

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.

Nice to see Disney finally acknowledging the prequel era a little bit. Don't get me wrong, this still takes place in that post-RotS, pre-A New Hope safe space that Kathleen Kennedy seems absolutely terrified to move away from, but at the sameNice to see Disney finally acknowledging the prequel era a little bit. Don't get me wrong, this still takes place in that post-RotS, pre-A New Hope safe space that Kathleen Kennedy seems absolutely terrified to move away from, but at the same time it feels tailor-made for those who grew up with that overly-hated second trilogy. It's the Star Wars content I've been most looking forward to for some time now. My favorite character in this massive, media-spanning franchise has always been Obi-Wan, and given what a tiny part he had in the OT that is in no small part due to Ewan McGregor's performance. So getting to see him step back into that role, alongside other returning faces from those same movies, hit all the right nostalgic notes for me while also providing a story with some actual significance in the canon due to the way it shows how the legendary Jedi went from being the broken man we saw at the end of Episode III to the reinvigorated wise mentor who would lead Luke on the first steps of his journey in Episode IV.

So this isn't just dusting off a fan favorite for a quick good time Solo-style, but actually provides the last essential piece of history for one of the franchise's most important personas. Kenobi's entire arc here sees him forced to face the demons of his past in a struggle that's as much internal as it is external. A conflict that ultimately allows him to rediscover a sense of peace, understanding, and his faith. It carries profound themes of self-forgiveness (particularly if what happened wasn't truly your fault), letting go of trauma, and forging a new, healthier path. I hear a lot of people complaining about Third Sister Reva, but while it may be a bit redundant her inclusion really helps to hammer that message home even further.

All the underlying depth of its subtext wouldn't mean much however if the miniseries wasn't fun to watch. Luckily the core dynamic between the titular hero and the child-aged version of a very familiar princess is absolutely charming, and there were still plenty of tense moments that had my heart skipping a beat despite the fact that its prequel nature meant I knew who was in real danger or not. This period in the saga is also excellently brought to life with an appropriate tone of hopelessness and desperation similar to Rogue One as the good people in the galaxy far, far away are forced into hiding or subjugation to survive being hunted.

By far the greatest source of excitement though has got to be Darth Vader. It's been touted across countless films, shows, and literature how those under the Empire's rule lived in complete terror of his immense power, but this is the first piece of the fiction I've come across that's allowed us to see it for ourselves. The Sith lord is simply terrifying here, performing feats straight out of The Force Unleashed video game. Something made all the sweeter thanks to the unfairly treated Hayden Christensen coming back to don the iconic helmet. The action is of a grittier nature than we typically get from the brand as well, with lightsabers getting forsaken for some old fashioned fisticuffs and displays of the force that are more massive and bombastic than anything in any of the 9 films prior.

It's refreshing to receive a project that seems built from the ground up for the portion of the community that's been largely ignored since George Lucas sold the rights to his space opera baby. Especially since it provides the final vital chapter in the history of its protagonist. Those "fans" who have been upset about everything since the first two-thirds of Return of the Jedi are better off passing, as this serves as a continuation to a part of the saga they have no appreciation for anyways. Yet, for those of us who actually like Star Wars? There are a few minor niggles with things like characters inexplicably choosing to not wipe out certain threats or how apparently taking a laser sword to the gut isn't fatal anymore, but at long last we have been given the full picture of Obi-Wan's life, and that is worth celebrating.

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.

Obi wan was a wise man, but in this show, they make him look like an idiot.(and we all know why, spoilers: because he's a man, men are dumb and useless allright.. )

How did Reva know where Leia is? No explanation.. How did Reva know that Luke is Vader's son? No idea.. Also, Reva's plans make no sense in the show. Then there's 10 year old girl, Leia, outrunning grown men(because men are dumb and useless).. Vader kills Reva.. but she survives.. Vader kills Reva again.. but no, she survives miraculously again.. And, after years of murdering people, Reva "redeemes" herself in the end.. Well, actually one good deed doesn't erase countless bad ones.. but hey this is Disney "star wars" and women can do no wrong..

Convenience is the word here folks..

Anyway, the plot is terrible, that's all you need to know..

The budget is apparent in the vfx, cinematography, music, script, and it pains me to write these things because Hayden and Ewan are firing on all cylinders. They don't skipThis really saddens me. Why did Disney put no effort into this show? The budget is apparent in the vfx, cinematography, music, script, and it pains me to write these things because Hayden and Ewan are firing on all cylinders. They don't skip a beat. The moments of perfection are constantly undercut. Whatever Disney does next, treat Ewan and Hayden better and write better material for them. Expand

The plot/story is pretty good, as Obi-Wan Kenobi has to come out of hiding to save a young Leia from the Empire. However, Leia is just a trap for the Empire to get to Kenobi. It leads to a good story that doesn't slow down that much, and makes for a solid six-episode plot. The characters are really good in my opinion, other then a few flaws I have with some of them. The Third Sister/Reva is incredibly not my type of character, just not a character I could get into. The Grand Inquisitor was also RARELY used, and his only big spot was getting "killed" by The Third Sister/Reva and then coming back for less than a minute combined in the fifth and final episode. Other then that, good characters. Ewan is remarkable as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the kid actors don't do bad at all, infact the kid actor for Leia is great. The music is good as always, Star Wars never really disappoints when it comes to music. And the scenary/backgrounds look good. Bleak when they should be bleak, and really cool looking at other times. The fight scenes are good when they happen, there's only...three lightsaber vs. lightsaber fights, and I think they're all entertaining. My favorite has to be the final episode fight between Obi-Wan and Vader. Overall this is a really good miniseries, and one of my favorites on Disney+ so far. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reva tötet Jedi weil sie Vader töten will weil er Jedi tötet. Aber um Vader töten zu können will sie Obi-Wan töten. Was zum Geier ist ihre Motivation? Wenn sie eine Serienmörderin sein soll die einfach nur Spaß am töten hat hat die Serie es verkackt sie als solche zu inszenieren. Aber auch so hat die Serie im allgemeinen verkackt. Expand

That wasn't what I waited for years. That was a bad joke. I liked the first episode and I didn't like the second, third, and fourth episodes. And the fifth and sixth episodes aren't very good, but they are not bad too.

Very bad decisions from the very top of the ladder, so the producers are the first to blame. Almost nothing works, except visuals, a FEW dialogue lines and parts of music from Williams. That's why it's 3/10, not lower. The choice of writersVery bad decisions from the very top of the ladder, so the producers are the first to blame. Almost nothing works, except visuals, a FEW dialogue lines and parts of music from Williams. That's why it's 3/10, not lower. The choice of writers with no knowledge about universe is shocking. The director somehow managed to make the lightsaber fights laughable and lame. Both Vader and Grand Inquisitor were wasted, to push Reva to the front line. The numbers of absurd decisions from Vader, it was just sad to watch. Expand

In my opinion the first 3 episodes are pretty decent. Ewan McGregor is a really great actor and manages to make this production "shine".

He also kicked anakin's but.Somehow inexplicably he's become a wimp. And somehow anakin/Vader has become far more powerful than he used to be, but can't jump over or walk around a small fire.
Yeah bad inconsistent writing...You know the kind..like "Hulk can smash a skyscraper to rubble but can break through a flimsy wooden door it's inconvenient for the plot."
I was so happy with the Mandalorian finally seeming to get Star Wars on track again after twenty years of abysmal story telling, but Obi-Wan Kenobi has returned it to it's old bad habits of piss poor inconsistent plot hole writing.

Another show ruined on purpose, they play by the book, I guess there is a trend now, ruining shows and movies is a trend.

This show is a complete mess full of bad, lazy illogical and frankly dumb writing. Nothing in this show makes any logical sense, the choreography is bad most of the time and of course they had to ruin the old chararcters just to introduce new characters that are badly written for their pathetic spin-off shows. Not to mention that this show breaks canon. Expand

This was so bad After the mess that was boba fett I was hoping for something more. The story was so weak going into the last episode I did not care or even know what was at stake. Truly shocking.

If you want detailed insights into why, I recommend Disparu's, HeelvsBabyface's and Knights Watch's takes on this. I basically share their opinions on it and each find something the other doesn't, so if you have the time,
This show is trash.

If you like the show afterwards, I don't know what to tell you except that you're mindless. Or that you like mindless "entertainment".
