This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After watching episode 3 I have to drastically change my review. I was at a generous 6/10 and I was kinda optimistic for the show. While flawed, I initially thought it had potential and enough good ideas to keep me going.

Than along came a Vader... Episode 3 is essentially The Last Jedi all over again, suberting expectations and dismantling a beloved childhood hero. The story itself probably even isn't that bad, I might buy in a "what if" scenario. But good lord, Obi Wan deserves better than this. Apart from fan raving, the episode is full of plot holes, it doesn't make much sense in terms of canon and essentially contradicts itself every minute or two. Just one example, Obi Wan spends some time to disable a laser barrier his truck can't pass, but you could walk around it in seconds. After disabling it they ditch the truck and walk through it. Is there nobody doing a quality check? Or another example, literally from one minute to another Darth Vader loses the ability to extinguish a fire with the force, what he has literally done seconds before. Seriously?

So, anything good? Yeah, Reva is barely in it and Moses acting is a bit better. So at least it is not a bait and switch. Can't recommend watching this, considering terminating my Disney+ subscription as I don't want to finance such atrocities.

Horrible show. They make Obi One Kobi look extremely weak and pathetic. Vader does not act like vader. The new characters are not interesting and are horrible done. Disney is killing Star Wars.

Another woke disaster from Disney. A real shame. Also, extremely annoying watching a bratty kid for such a long time. The writer doesn’t have a clue.

Bad storytelling, unattractive and deliberately reinforcing female characters, just for the sake of political correctness. I do even think the director or the writer does not understand StarWars.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to like this series. Obi wan is one of my favorite characters but this Disney interpretation has ruined a beloved character to push gas lighting and a bait and switch. The Reva character is pointless, terrible writing, and is the focus of why? To push some agenda.

Young Rey, I mean Leia. She has more screen time and lines than Obi wan for some reason.

Obi wan is a bumbling idiot now and has no idea how to wield or turn on a light saber anymore and can barely use the force.

Continuity doesn’t matter anymore. Obi wan is trying to train Luke way before Yoda. A akin is not quite Vader yet and is chilling in a bacta tank for ten years and apparently they have their rematch before the events of episode four.

Star Wars is a shadow of its former self

Where to start easily one of my favourite characters and actors has been misfired straight in a whale sized dissapointment of one of my most anticipated series ever.

The show has been curated for children in what I and another's describe as a nickelodeon show. Lots of the show several scenes now involves the cringest chase scenes of a small 7 year old girl out running fully grown men through a forest then followed by a city. I realised this show was for children when disney introduced another "adorable droid" which made me realise that disneys fore front mind was monetisation they can sell toys of the droid. It seems disneys made agenda is to squeeze dollars however and wherever possible and making a good tense, thrilling series an afterthought. They've even introduced non cannon characters also as a villian, reeva a sith inquisitor who happens to be black into the show. I have no problem with black actors and actresses as i hope we get a mace windu series and lando, big fan of Carl weather's also in mando but this acting is horrendous and she shouts much of her way through the series. Honestly the tone is much to light for a dark time where jedi are being hunted down and murdered on the spot without trial in summary execution much like the gestapo did with the Jews. Disney have really wronged the fans here massively and the obi wan character for what was a show much long in the pipeline. I feel like I can no longer deny it disney has political agenda here and clearly as woke as it comes.

I'm more than happy for disney to start doing series with female leads, people of diverse backgrounds in original story's or characters already known. But its a obi wan show make it about him and respect that original star wars fans are not idiots and the show should be accessible for them. The reviews say it all and I'm not the only one.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a shame what was done with the character. Watch the wise Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, general of the Clone Wars, member of the Jedi Council, master of the Chosen One and one of the mightiest Jedi to ever live reduced to an incompetent man who can't get anything done by himself, afraid of a wannabe Inquisitor and a few Stormtroopers, that needs guidance from a 10-year old, and worst of all, lost faith in the Force and in people (something a character like Obi-Wan would never, ever do) is downright painful. There is no justification to that "He spent years in the desert" is not good enough, by far. I don't know what the show writers have in mind, but it certainly isn't making good Star Wars and being respectful of the characters. Expand

This has been the yet another disappointment by Disney. But this is all we can expect from them at this point.

The writing of the show is terrible, so far in the first 3 episodes alone it breaks canon multiple times. Obi Wan has been emasculated to the surprise of no one.
And in typical Disney fashion the show is actually a bait and switch. Using a BELOVED character that the fans wanted to see for years, only to emasculate them and treat them like garbage only to promote their new characters like the character of Riva, which is a terribly written and acted character, that should have no place in the show and more importantly, should not know the things she knows.

But who can even be surprised by Disney at this point. The whole point of Riva is to generate clicks by SJW's on twitter (SJW's that don't even watch your products or pay for them Disney)

And make no mistake, Disney is trying to spin the narrative that the fans are outraged by gender and skin color, but the truth is that 99.9% of the fans have no issues with skin color or gender, they have issue with badly written and acted characters that are shoved in the shows only to tick boxes.

We loved Lando Calrissian, we loved Mace Windu and so many others like Moff Gideon, James Earl Jones is the voice of Darth Vader for crying out loud, the most important character in the franchise. Yet in recent interviews Disney and the actress of Riva - Moses Ingram tries to claim that she is the first person of color in Star Wars. That and the numerous breaking of the canon, paint the picture many of us know to be true for years, that Disney does not care for the IP, does not know the IP, the people they hire have not done their research regarding the characters and the universe they are portraying. Their only goal and purpose is to push their agendas using the corpse of Star Wars as a platform.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I begin with this… I think Kenobi and the Book of Boba Fett are perfect examples of when a franchise becomes overly corporate and lacks any heart what so ever. Since episode 1 of Kenobi it was felt cheap, the writing has been very poor, the direction has been amateurish, the scenes feel blocky and lack logic. Characters that are meant to smart become incredibly dumb. Kenobi is completely deconstructed as a character and Disney nerf him into the ground. Kenobi’s whole job is to protect Luke yet he completely shuts himself off from the force and buried his lightsaber in the sands of tattooine. Kenobi frequently runs away from the fight. He is not the same character. He is a deconstruction of what used to be. Similarly to Luke Skywalker in the sequel trilogy, this character has been broken down and made an example of. The new inquisitor Reva is one of the most laughably terrible villains I’ve ever seen in Star Wars. No hate to the actress. I think she does what she’s told from the director and the writing doesn’t help. But the character of Reva exists to be amazing at everything and you will not understand one single motive of hers. The handling of Vader is something I have a problem with. I feel Disney just think they can throw Darth Vader out and the masses will drool. Not me. Vader is handled with little grace. The so called “rematch of the century” echoed by Kathleen Kennedy was a mediocre duel (if you can call it that) on a boring planet where Obi Wan runs away all the time and Vader let’s him go because of some fire…. I was never hot on the former master/apprentice meeting before a new hope and this is precisely the reason why I hate the decision. It makes zero sense now. I will say, Jimmy Smits and Joel Edgerton returning as Bail Organa and Uncle Owen are really amazing and they both do phenomenal jobs with their few scenes. I think the actors try their best with the **** sandwich they’ve been given. If you’re a prequel boy like me who grew up with the prequels and OT… skip Kenobi. Keep your memory of these characters in tact. Watch literally anything else. I recommend dune. Expand

I WOULD LOVE FOR ELON MUSK TO DO A BOT AUDIT ON ALL THESE STAR WARS REVIEWS. IVE BEEN REVIEWING TV AND MOVIES FOR 30 Yrs+ this....is ...low.... quality ..tv....and ....low.. quality.....sci-fi....and everyone knows it!

I canceled my Disney Subscription after this. Here are ten reasons why;

*Minus one star for horribly directed, acted scenes all involving Leia.

*Minus one star for just highlighting and putting down Obi Wans age which represents more than half the audience. *Minus one for wardrobes, I mean I liked the inquisitor scenes, but this is Disney I would expect a bit more. Very laughable in a bad way.

*Minus one star for CGI. Reminded me of low quality Sci-Fi channel TV and they have way less funding.

*Minus one star for music. Just wasn't unique and didn't stand out. They should have taken a bigger risk here with music. Music is a huge part of Star Wars, again I feel like no effort was made. It sounded too similar to Mandalorian and this is a completely different thing; story, planets, the force, lightsaber emphasis. Music should take its own path here.

*Minus one star because the script was rushed and jumped around horribly. This is so bad I want to take off two stars. THE LAST THING MODERN DAY BINGE TV SHOULD HAVE IS A RUSHED SCRIPT. ITS TV YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME.. *Minus one for horrible batman-esk action scenes. Not necessary. This is laughable.

*Minus one for using "spice". This Dune rip off a doesn't even transcend multiverse because they treat it like it has more ...well it's just idiotic. Leave the Dune script alone and leave stupid drugs out of Kenobi. They were never in the prequels etc. Just lame.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like some parts of the aesthetic in episodes 2 and 3. The arc has sentiment. A lot of what is in here could've been apart of the prequels. This is a decent extension to that lore for the fans. Which is what this is meant for. There are better, less nostalgia-driven stories they could've told in this series. The emphasis between Obi-Wan and Vader has intrigue as a fan myself. I particularly enjoyed the flashback duel between them. The other clashes between them in episodes 3 and 6 didn't do a lot for me.

I like the concept of Vader wanting to torture Ben instead of abruptly defeating him. I like the idea of Reva as a youngling who became conflicted. I like the idea of Leia being captured, incentivizing Obi-Wan to leave and go on a wild adventure. I don't like how the story was directed and filmed. Many of the key moments dramatic or extravagant feel tacky. As if this was in the hands of fanboys, not true filmmakers. Disney's Star Wars content has been pandering since 2019. From Episode 9 to this, nothing has really connected with me. Everything before 2019 from Disney Star Wars I actually like more.

Enjoy this if you're a hardcore fan hungry for more. Objectively, it feels made for fans and not with much creative integrity or theatricality. Vader's presence lacking that fear element is an example of how the direction missed the ball on this one. Not my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far loving what they are doing with Obi Wan series, I've been a Star Wars fan since A new hope was released in the 70s and the show is a hit among Star Wars fans in our Facebook groups, people absolutely loving it so ignore the Fandom Menace who are trying to belittle it. Ewan's acting has really matured over the years and how he conveys emotions really comes through, you can tell he is enjoying himself a lot more than in the prequels. The actress who plays Leia also does an amazing job of portraying a young Leia. Also love Moses who plays the 3rd Sister, she comes over as menacing and dangerous and a real threat to Kenobi. SPOILER* SPOILER* The only critique I would give is they did a bit too much Vader, less is more. But that's only a minor thing. I really hope Ewan pushes for a second season. Expand

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.

Disney trips over itself once again in this Obi Wan fan-fiction-esque try.

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 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.

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

The source material has already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. 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

Acting can't save bad writing
New Star Wars with Disney seems to have the same problem, again and again: bad writing. With the exception of Jon and Dave's work, new Star Wars is getting worse with their writing. It doesn't matter how well the actors do their roles when they're poorly written, there's no saving it. Either get a team that knows how to write or just stop.

There is a sequence where obi wan and the child are running through rooftops while being chased and shot from different directions, and the child falls from a building, only to obi wan use force powers to save the child, while all bad guys suddenly forget what they were doing, stop pursuing and firing, and then the scene cuts to both obi wan and the child at the floor level and the bad guys are nowhere to be seen. Pathetic. 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.

Feels like an episode of power rangers (no disrespect to power rangers) Actually my kids used to like power rangers because its target audience is young kids, When I look at this it seems it must be aimed at under 12's because there is no wayFeels like an episode of power rangers (no disrespect to power rangers) Actually my kids used to like power rangers because its target audience is young kids, When I look at this it seems it must be aimed at under 12's because there is no way an adult growing up with the star wars movies would think this is any good. 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

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

They still don't make much sense lore-wise, but at least this is where Kenobi shines and is not overshadowed by everyone else, including a 10 year old girl who has never fought and spend her whole life like a princess in a castle but somehow has more balls than Obi-Wan, who is a TRAINED JEDI and FOUGHT IN THE CLONE WARS... what the hell Disney?


This show is surprisingly boring, surprisingly plot-holed, surprisingly more about strong female characters and surprisingly not really about Kenobi at all.
Everyone else in this show has more screentime than Kenobi.
I wanted to see Obi-Wan, not strong female characters womansplaining everything.
They messed up Kenobi with these f()cked up agendas and THE MESSAGE... what the hell.

Also, the intersectional theory looming over the show is apparent and quite detrimental to the outcome. What a disappointment to get this from a show with such an iconic character. Expand
