Top of the line actors, sets, and special effects. But, that's pretty much where the good of the series ends. The writing appears to have been completed in a middle school lunch room.

I just don't understand what is happening with this programming. There seem to be basic concepts of writing that are violated in a number of recent high-end productions. For instance (and probably the greatest consistent sin) is that you CAN'T put a character's life in jeopardy if the audience knows that the character survives. It deflates the scenes of any tension at all.

Top that off with a director who clearly does not direct action in any way, and you have loud noises, flashy lights and a lot of yawns from the audience. Wide shots of a child running from adults who just "run into" clearly visible objects and then fall over? That's why God created quick-cuts, my friend. Hide those horrible shots if you have to. So whether the fault is the directors or the editors, it is terribly executed.

And yes, we all "get it." Young females can be "tough." I think that you beat that dead horse about every six minutes. Seriously. It's such a heavy handed message that you find yourself rooting for the empire.

I'm a big fan of Clone Wars/Rebels, so I love the Third Sister, although that writing was so "on the nose" that she might as well have been a cartoon character. There is no subtlety for the actor to work with.

Congrats to Disney, I guess, who've now managed to screw up both Solo and Kenobi. Just sad that they can't do better than this. And it goes to show that money can't buy everything.

I understand why people don't like this. After watching the main series in 2024, I wanted to explore the side stories, so I started with "Obi-Wan Kenobi."

I was excited to watch this because I really liked Ewan McGregor as the younger Obi-Wan in the prequel films-he's a talented actor. His performance in this mini-series was outstanding, even surpassing his work in the prequels.

However, my main issue is with the story. Bringing Skywalker and Leia into the plot felt like beating a dead horse. If the story had focused more on Obi-Wan's personal struggles and less on rehashing old characters, I would have enjoyed it more.

The setting is more mature than the films, which I didn't mind-I appreciate a more mature Star Wars story. The cast was good, but the story was a letdown and didn't match the quality of the main film series.

Obi-Wan Kenobi may not the best thing from Star Wars that I've seen but it's still worth watching. Ewan McGregor is a great actor and one of the best parts of the prequel trilogy. I was really looking forward to this when I first read about it and the even more so after I saw the trailers. It did not disappoint! I don't consider myself a huge Star Wars fan but I normal fan who does enjoy most of them. I really liked The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett was worth watching. I don't understand most of these negative reviews, it's like most of the people writing them didn't want to enjoy them. If you saw him in the prequels and saw the trailers what were you expecting that you didn't get? Anyway, if you're a fan of Star Wars I definitely recommend you give this a try.

What a colossal letdown. I'd rather have an Obi Wan film trilogy in the same vein as Rogue One or Solo than this cheesy poorly written fluff of a tv show.

I actually enjoyed Obi-Wan Kenobi a lot more than I expected to. After reading all the mixed reviews I was expecting a slow moving, boring show but this was anything but. I was very entertained from the very first episode to the last. I was actually wanting more episodes when it was over. I'm glad that it's already been renewed for another season. Some of these negative reviews are just ridiculous, people are hating for the sake of hating. As most here have already pointed out, Ewan McGregor is the best part of this series. He's great as Obi-Wan. You can tell they put a lot of love into this because the attention to detail is very obvious. While it's not as good as the Mandalorian it's still a good show in its own right and definitely worth the time of watching it.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. And I'm not talking about Obi-Wan, I'm talking about Disney. For a studio who usually has top-notch stories and writing in their movies, the Star Wars franchise has been a huge step down for them, and Obi-Wan, unfortunately, is no exception. The show had some truly great moments, but they were few and far between, buried under ridiculous, contrived, nonsensical story and plot elements. And the 3rd Sister inquisiter has WAY too much screen time, aside from being over the top, cheesy, and just outright annoying. This is worth a watch, but just don't expect too much.

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.

In star wars sequels they made Luke weak now Obi. Didn't they see the first six movies? Bad directing, bad acting mostly from the parkour sister and Leia is really bad, was that hard to find a talented kid?

Loved the story. Loved little Leia. Loved the supporting characters and the underpinning continuation of the struggle between Obi-Wan and Anakin/Darth is terrific. Sadly, Moses Ingram is rubbish. It's a mystery that when everything else in this production is so good, that they committed to their casting choice. Moses Ingram just can't act. Even in the company of outstanding characters and great actors, directors and plot, she stands alone as a weak, unconvincing amateur. Or perhaps that too harsh. There are some wonderful amateur actors. I have never given a critique that personally attacks a single actor, but I am truly amazed at how bad she is, and that she made the final cut.

I waited until all of the episodes were released before passing a final judgement on this. I can say I'm glad I did, as the first couple episodes were 3/10 stars for a tv show with the latter being more toward a 7/10.

With that said, I'm trying rate this show as a whole. Would I recommend it to anyone? Would I watch it again?

It's hard to slap a number on this. I did like it more than the recent film trilogy despite it being very campy at times (tbh I'm not entirely sure if that was at all intended, which make some moments even more hilarious) with a weak and noticeable production value that did take a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me.

Reva's arc was a classic Star Wars story that actually justifies its existence in the end, even if it does it poorly. Why it was such a centerpiece in a show titled Kenobi... I dunno. Honestly I think this show would have received much less backlash if it was simply titled something else.

Taking everything into consideration, would I recommend it to anyone? I would recommend it to anyone that loved the prequels. I do think it falls out of purview for mostly anyone else though.

Would I watch it again?

Yes, I will rewatch a few of the episodes just for some of Vader's sequences, as much as I don't want to admit it. The last few episodes focus more on the relationship between 'Ben' Kenobi and Anakin, which in turn give us a better transition of Anakin to Vader than the films did alone.

This show is dumb, light hearted and sometimes heavy. It's a very true to form Star Wars story with the exception of having poorer production and slightly lesser quality in writing, and if you can laugh at the scenes where the child outruns bounty hunters by walking, you'll get some enjoyment out of this.

If you wanted a purely serious tv series based on Kenobi like I did, you won't get that. But maybe you'll find something passable in the meantime.

6/10.

I love the feel of all of the new Star Wars content. This is a good story.

The only complaint I have about this one is the stiff acting of Moses Ingram. Haven't we figured out yet that a villain has to be more than stern and flat? To say her acting was uninspired would be an understatement.

Not sure why they made Leia so spunky, but I guess it grows on you in a way.

This is my second time watching the series through. The first time I was immersed in the story and the power the character portrayed. The second time around the flat performance really stands out to me.

I still love the show and give it a good rating, but I'm here to say I hope Disney casts better actors in these iconic shows going forward.

This is a disappointing effort. Some nice homages to the movies, but overall a bland story. The music scoring and editing is weak compared to the symphonic masterpieces of the movies.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi" begins 10 years after the dramatic events of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat - the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.

Something between prequels and Originals "Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Series" collects all six episodes of the titular series featuring the returns of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen & James Earl Jones as Darth Vader.

We find an older Obi-wan who has distanced himself from the force. This series is some of best recent Star Wars content! The storytelling is excellent.

Outstanding writing, visuals, acting and music. Top-notch space opera television miniseries.

I love the prequels. I do. And while this whole show did a good job of being separate from that trilogy, it did not satisfy me as Disney thought they were doing. Several times while watching I thought I was taking part in a fan fiction. Why does it look like Marvel in places? Why is the writing cheesy? Disney has enough money to hire good writers right? As for the Vader confrontations... they did not work. They were just lengthy (clumsy even) fights and they did nothing for obi wan and Anakin's relationship. The girl playing Leia did a very good job and so did Ewan by playing very heartfelt roles. Everyone else felt forced. Also, the third sister, fifth brother, 124th second cousin whatever that language was... it didn't make any sense. They weren't using those terms in clone wars, the prequels, or the originals so why use them now? Very inconsistent. Disney writers- when you think you're being cool for writing new terms just for the sake of being cool, you're NOT being cool (please stop forcing things and be consistent). Anyways, I'm glad I watched it but it could've been better. Bravo John Williams for another theme. You keep being you.

My problems with Disney Star Wars stem primarily from one person - Kathleen Kennedy.

I'm guessing some of you have heard that the original script for this show was scrapped because it was too 'bleak.' And that baffles me. This is supposed to be the most depressing time in Star Wars history and she didn't want it to be too downbeat. Give me a break. The original writer also shared that his script was related to Job in the bible. He loses everything, but he remains faithful. To me, that sounds like an intriguing premise, and it fits perfectly with Kenobi's character at this point in his life. We get flashes of Obi Wan being in a broken state, but they're brief.

We instead got 4 episodes of a little girl getting rescued. Don't even get me started on the chase scene. Oh yeah and frequent nonsensical breaking of the canon. And then we have Reva. She was pointless. The Second Sister in Fallen Order was miles better. And guess what? She was also a woman of color. The difference is she had good writing!!

Another thing that really ticks me off - Kathleen Kennedy said that there shouldn't be authentic John Williams Star Wars music in the 3rd episode because it would feel too cinematic. What the actual f? Too cinematic?? We finally got authentic music, but only in the last episode. I just can't fathom the ideas this woman has. I am not in any way cut out to be the president of Lucasfilm, but you're telling me there is no one better than this woman?

I mostly enjoyed everything with Kenobi and Vader, and that's really the only reason to watch this show.

I know there are some who really enjoyed this show and that's perfectly fine! I enjoyed enough of it too. But what i want is a Star Wars story written by someone who cares. Not by someone who wants to check boxes.

That's my rant for the day.

Unlike many, I really liked the show. It had some slow parts and some weak story at times. It also was a thoughtful continuation of the Obi Wan/Anakin ark. Showing strength with mercy and the kind heart characteristic of Obi Wan it sets up the final fight between these two and the eventual return to light and sacrifice of Anakin. The tired and depressed Obi re-awakening to his previous power and wisdom was exciting. The small views into Leia and Luke and reconnection with Organa were great. It's a more subtle and thoughtful addition, that builds on the characters without creating continuity errors.

All in all this is a great addition to the character and the story.

Feels like it's been re-written a dozen different times by a dozen different dispassionate writers who are painfully trying to squeeze creative blood from an algorithmic marketing decision. Makes the rookie prequel mistake of heaping acres of tension onto the unchangeable fates of established characters rather than giving us new characters to care about. Some nice effects work and young Leia is gloriously cast, but the action is shoddily constructed, it treads oceans of water and it is likely the weakest and ropiest bit of live action Wars TV yet made. Severely hope we don't get more.

The Mandalorian was a very pleasant surprise, and that stopped there. Sad to see that after a great animated The Clone Wars Star Wars show and much hope after The Mandalorian show, this is where Star Wars is at.

Many people are very ungrateful from what I noticed in the reviews!!!!

This series is in no way rated 1-7, I could say it's from 8 up!

I'm glad that this series was made and I could see some very beloved characters (Darth Vader and Obi-Wan) again.

The action is very interesting, actually episode 1 is more boring to say so, but it shows how the story begins, otherwise you will like the series very much!!

Also, the series is not located before Revenge of the Siths!!! It is located after!

I don't want to give spoilers so the only things I will say are: Lightsabers, Jedi, Sith, Inquisitors, Ships, Force. What more do you need to watch?

I had only heard bad reviews about the series, but I really liked it. The most criticized point was the inquisitor, I admit that she is neither the worst nor the best villain in Star Wars. But it does its job, although it is a bit obsessive. Obi-Wan never fails, but of course they could have done much better. It doesn't feel slow at all, the episodes are the perfect length. It is appreciated that the secondary characters are not a hindrance or feel heavy at any time. Good job, I hope for much more if they make a second season

There are lightsaber fights and characters we already know, you can't ask for more.

I was left wanting more.
