That Star Wars feel but worrying bits

The intro, score and world we're shown is near perfect, as is Ewen's Kenobi. I generally enjoyed the Alderaan scenes and our new Leia. I didn't enjoy the portrayal of the Inquisitors, individually or in general and especially Reva, which is concerning as it's half their show. And that forest chase wasn't just bad, it was painful enough you worry about everything after it.

I really enjoyed it, but I'm left more hoping than excited.

Would have been 9 if not for that forest chase

Ewan is great. Everything looks great. Nice story setup and then...an infantile chase scene worthy of the finest Teletubbie episode. At least it was only 30 seconds or so.

I don't like Flea or that over the top Reva-character either but I sure hope they won't include anymore kindergarten stuff.

A fun return

Glad to see Obi Wan back on screen, but didn't blow my socks off just yet. Interested to see where it goes! Also great to hear John Williams back on the score.

The damned Chase scene

Good start for this series but the chase scene, oh my god what a mega-fail it made me wonder if the people involved are not under influence. It's really a shame for the whole Star Wars universe.

It was good, but didn't blow me away!

Best part of this episode was to see Ewan back as Kenobi! I guess my childhood brain got activated! Also great to have John back as the composer! Other than that it was an okay first episode, with some ups and downs! I dont like Reva and i fear the show will focus to much on her and the other inquisitors, sidelinning Kenobi in his own show... but i hope i am wrong! Casually optimistic from here.

Quotes
Owen Lars: I want you to stay away from him. We don't need anything from you, Ben.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's just a toy.
Owen Lars: It's a lot more than that.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: There's more to life than your farm, Owen. He needs to see that. There's a whole galaxy out there.
Owen Lars: I'm asking you to leave us alone, Ben. I mean it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Is he okay?
Owen Lars: You don't care if he's okay. You care if he's showing.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: He's my responsibility, Owen.
Owen Lars: I'm his uncle.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: We talked about this. When the time comes, he must be trained.
Owen Lars: Like you trained his father? Anakin is dead, Ben, and I won't let you make the same mistake twice. So, leave him on the farm with his family, where he belongs.
