Some of you may ask if this is a reupload of my older "Obi-Wan Kenobi... Why It's Great" video (I got similar questions about my siege of mandalore video). No it is not. However, when rewriting this video I found myself not having changed my mind about much since I made the previous video. So I did reuse a lot of points that I made. I find it unnecessary to reword my arguments that I felt were already strong a year ago. So if certain praises or criticisms sound familiar, that is probably why. But for those of you who find this video too similar to my original one, I did add a 22 minute rewrite section so that's something new you can enjoy. Thank you! #UniteTheKlaudSquad

I honestly think reva dying to vader in episode 5 would be a better way to end her story, it would be about how revenge gets you nowhere or solves your problems and i feel it could’ve hit hard

No way it has been a year since this show, time flies 🤯

In the rewrite, imagine if Reva and the other younglings mentioned, how they wanted to be great jedi like Anakin specifically. Just imagine the emotional toll of having someone you aspire to be like be the one who's destroyed everything you hold dear.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I have a soft spot for it and love how it bridged the PT and OT together, and how it felt like an essential step in the story of Obi-Wan and even Vader. But the Reva character really frustrated me, a lot of characters made cartoonishly stupid decisions, plus the production value looked surprisingly low. Still would take this show any day over The Book of Boba Fett and the surprisingly underwhelming Mando S3

most of the 1st episode was pretty good with obi wan being depressed, isolated quietly working away in a butchers or something and the scene with the clone beggar was nice (it really should have been a 212th legion clone since that's the company he led), when vader kept killing villagers and the scene where vader yanks the ship out of the sky and tears it apart was great and really felt like him.

While watching the last episode, I remember watching Vader’s last scene, and it felt slightly off to me so I started thinking what it was. I realized it was a very simple thing - Vader sitting when talking to the Emperor. I haven’t read all of the books and comics, but in the movies we have always seen Vader kneel in front of Palpatine. So here, I feel like this simple change would be perfect thematically. In that scene we are in Vaders Mustafar Castle, a place where he complete dominion, and control over the Inquisitors but when The Emperor calls, he has to get up from his throne and kneel next to it. His power here is an illusion, he has no authority, he only serves Palpatine…

We were absolutely robbed of the chance of seeing Carrie & Vivian together at conventions. You just know Carrie would've treated Vivian like her own. A wholesome relationship we'll sadly never get to see 😭

I love how you make these types of videos, I think when things come out so many different factors that affect our opinions on things when they come out, crowd reaction, backlash, bias, and expectations. Making videos about these things a year or a few years after lets you clear your mind and watch them without as much expectation and lets you really analyze them and go into them.

There is no way an entire year passed since I watched that show

What you said about anakin and Vader actually feeling like the same person would make more sense if the show wasn't set 10 years later. I feel like it's been so long that he'd be more Vader like, but maybe not

im sorry but the only good things about this show is having hayden and ewan back, prequel flashbacks and that fantastic finale battle. i hate how it focused so much on reva and obi wan dealing with a fetch quest... almost felt like watching the main character do side quests lmao

What should’ve been an introspection into the life of a broken yet hopeful man charged with the task of protecting the son of his best friend from said friend who he believes he killed, turned into a clusterfuck of fan service and terribly choreographed fights

@20:20 Obi-Wan being in the bottom of a pit barely keeping the rocks above him from crushing him was symbolic. The more he dwelt on his failures the more the rocks (aka guilt, shame, regret) weighed down on him, keeping him in the pit that his apprentice had put him. Only by letting go of his guilt was Obi-Wan able to push away the things that were weighing him down. When he jumped out of that pit, that was the moment when Obi-Wan was himself again.

The writers have said they have ideas for a 2nd and even 3rd season. The plans wouldn't involve Vader, but I don't remember if they said they would stay on Tatooine. They want to explore why Obi-Wan was so ready to sacrifice himself on the Death Star. Looking back, it's weird how quickly Obi-Wan accepted his death. I didn't originally want a season 2, but I think this idea would be great to explore.

The flashbacks to Anakin being kind every time Leia does something similar is such an amazing idea, I’m upset we didn’t actually get that.

Funny thing is I’ve heard absolutely no one talking about this series

There’s a ton of character potential already in Obi-Wan learning of the Lars family (skipped out on in Ep3, he just shows up and drops off a baby without saying a word), not to mention adapting to life on Tatooine - especially facing the Tusken Raiders, who mistake him for the rumored sorcerer who murdered an entire tribe years prior, so Obi-Wan has to reckon witb Anakin’s actions. It would explain how Obi-Wan knows how to scare Tuskens away from Luke, too. Also, re: budget; this show had a rumored $25 million PER EPISODE.

Now I want a movie about Kit Fisto going on an adventure...

Well, it is definitely refreshing to hear someone actually praise this series. Personally, I can't stand it, but I really enjoy that you acknowledge the glaring missteps, and I feel happy for you that you can enjoy the series for what it is. For me, eventhough I like the way they handled Obi-Wans and Vaders main arcs, there is just such a vast amount of inconsistencies to how they and others are portrayed in existing media, that I sometimes actually laughed out while watching a serious scene. In my head, and supported by his march into town - my favorite scene from the series, Vader in episode 3 is pure hatred. It is like you were in pain for weeks or months, and finally you found the cause. I loved how he just kills random people in the street, thinking that it would bring the Jedi Obi-Wan out of hiding to protect the common folk, and that it likely would have worked if Obi-Wan himself wasnt that deep down in his depression. I like how he absolutely mauls Obi-Wan every chance he gets, although the shot composition in their duel scenes is awful, and Vader jump scares, with him walking on metal feet and breathing loud af just feel out of place. But what you pointed out as a minor break of character for me felt like a slap in the face. We see Vader maul and mutilate Obi-Wan for like half an hour, dragging him through fire he himself lit. But when someone else lights that same fire, he just stands there and watches the source of all his pain, anger and suffering walk away. In that moment I was honestly waiting for a "waking up from meditation" sequence, because I could not believe that anyone would shoot something like this. Even worse tho, is how they handled the finale of the final fight. I didnt mind the new earth-bendy force powers as much as others. They felt a little out of place, but it didn't ruin the scene for me. I thought the lighting and cinematography was atrocious, but thats not what I want to discuss. Why on earth would Obi-Wan leave Darth Vader alive after besting him in combat? I loved the dialogue in the scene and it made me emotional seeing ewan react to Obiwan freeing himself from most of the guilt that had plagued him. But in that moment, Obi-Wan should not be conflicted about killing Darth Vader. This obiwan should be close to the same obi-wan that said "I will do what I must", even when that same Darth Vader still looked and acted like his friend, apprentice and brother. Why, god why couldnt they write a scene where Obi-Wan after learning that Anakin is forever lost tries to finish off vader, but is stopped by force of nature, by vader and his dark side powers in the end, or by the rest of the imperial forces, who wouldnt just watch their leader get killed... Like this, Obi-Wan frees himself of the guilt of having caused Anakins transition into darth vader, but he takes on the guilt of not having stopped the uncountable dark deeds that vader would do after that moment. It feels so out of place, and in such a pivotal moment in the series, that I for one can't bring myself to rewatch it. However, I would love to hear other's personal head canon as to why Obi-Wan did what he did. Maybe it helps me come to terms with how it is, maybe it reaffirms my beliefs. But I would love to talk with anyone about it here :)

Love your takes with star wars! I agree with a majority of your points and it is a welcome departure from the popular opnions. Excited to dive into this one!

Absolutely love this video, actually good and reasonable critiques while still giving praise where its deserved. This show is over hated, and this was an awesome video breaking down the series, can’t wait to see watch more of your content.

I really liked this show when it came out but with hindsight I feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity. Now if you love this show don’t think i’m trying to invalidate those feelings. I just personally feel like the dhow could have explored Obi Wan’s trauma more and been more introspective than just another jedi adventure. I also feel like this should have been a movie instead of a tv show cause imo it feels like the story could have served a purpose as a two hour film than 6 episodes.

To me, Reva represents all of the Children that the Jedi failed to protect. As much as Leia does, Reva reminds Obi Wan of his responsibilities to protecting the vulnerable.

Ahsoka hit one side of mask, Obi hit opposite side of Vaders mask Luke….Removed it completely to reveal Return of Anakin or Return of The Jedi

Yo. Leia is the product of Obi-Wan’s actions in Ep 3. Hope. Rebellion. Reva is the product of Vader’s. Rage. Revenge. Kenobi redeems Reva and inspires Leia. I love that parallel.

Man bro I’m glad your still making content. I know the chatooine show stopped but glad to see I can still hear your opinion on things. Thanks man

The only change in your story I would make is that perhaps Reva hates Obi-Wan is because she saw the holotape of him were he said: 'do not return to the temple' and because of this nobody was there to help her when she was injured.

I don't think a lot of people have any problem with the plot concepts introduced in this series. You've mentioned a lot of cool details, which were valid, but personally for me all of them were overshadowed by inconsistency and laziness in writing. I just couldn't ignore bullshit when I see it on screen, and there were A LOT of bullshit moments and decisions. I wish Disney would understand that allocating more resources to production of such highly anticipated series is a must.

While your rewrite doesn’t make this series amazing, it does vastly improve what we got. Your development of Reva and Nari is spot on. There are some things that were dumb that seem difficult to correct but I say good job.

I would leave in the Jedi being hung PURELY for it’s small connection to Andor and Clems hanging. To me it’s just a interesting connection and fact that the Empire actually hung who they potentially saw as more rebellious threats.

If the script writters had just re-adapted the legends plot where Obi-Wan was compelled to face off the fallen Jedi A'sharad Hett, who had turned into a Tusken warlord by the time Luke was young, It would've turned out to be a much better conflict than the whole thing that we ended up having. I mean, come on. It's not like Disney was unfamiliar with taking elements from the former SW cannon.

That rewrite would have been far better. I actually felt something a few times there. All the weird things, conveniences, and occasional lazy dialogue compounded into me feeling the show doesn't care. I couldnt see Obi-Wan, just Ewan. The directing was another part of it. You are one of many that see a great story where I just felt bad. Kai Patterson edited Kenobi to movie-length, and PixelJoker95 has his own one coming, which adds alot of vfx and new shots. Check out the trailers for that.

I'd suggest Vader just walking through the fire. It's a 'fire' shot and makes sense.

Thank you for the review. It helped me appreciate the show a bit more than I did at the time. I would like a Season 2 with a simpler story.

Kenobi had so much potential such a shame how it was mishandled, until I saw this video in my KZfaq feed I had happily forget for months that the show existed lol.

Great video!! You were super eloquent and I’m grateful that you weren’t negative like so many of these videos can be.

been on a binge for most of your videos and now this shows up! Lucky me

I like how you almost make it make sense. Still can’t get behind this series.

It's so strange to see such a variety of opinions on this show in the comments. Some of y'all have really turned to the dark side and trash on this show way too hard, but I do understand the frustration. I personally really like this show, I think Kenobi and Vader are great, I think it adds to Ep4 and Ep6 rather than take away from them like some believe, and it mostly works for me. It is full of missed potential still, but I don't think it was a waste at all.

Really love these videos. Been sick all day and I've been binging them. I love how you actually do find genuine positives about each thing you analyse, even if as a whole the film/show isn't great, it's really refreshing to see over entirely negative or positive reviews and feels like a non biased look at these things. It's a really fantastic review style, keep it up!

The fact people even accept this proves anyone can make anything worth watching

I can totally see where you're coming from in this video, and I don't think I've ever heard a perspective quite like this before, so I want to first say that I really do appreciate hearing your take on this show. For me, I think there are so many things that just don't make sense from a plot perspective. Obi-wan should never have left Luke and Tatooine in general, Leia should've never been involved in this story and shouldn't have met Obi-Wan, if this show is set 10 years after ROTS, Obi-Wan should know that Darth Vader is alive, or am I to believe that for 10 years Vader's name never reached Tatooine until Reva tells Obi-Wan that he's alive???, and that Vader just sat there doing nothing until this particular point in time??? Something's a bit off there. Vader knows who Reva is, and that she knows that he is Anakin Skywalker, but he just lets her live...Huh??? Even if Vader is having an emotional struggle, and inner turmoil, he's also still the angry, hateful, vengeful, murdering Sith Lord that will not hesitate to kill anyone who knew he was Anakin. Obi-Wan has to rush back over to Tatooine to save Luke and his family from being potentially killed by Reva, when the truth of the matter is, he should've never left Tatooine in the first place, and Leia shouldn't have been in this story. Why is Obi-Wan NOW able to lift all of these big rocks and throw them at Vader, when in the OT, he never displayed such strength in the force before. Obi-Wan was not naturally gifted with the force, and had to train really hard to get to where he was in ROTS. I mean, to be able to just do a powerful force push on general Grievous, was hard for him, but he trained hard and achieved that, but now all of a sudden, he can lift these huge rocks with relative ease??? I'm not even going to go there with Reva. Also, Qui-gon never finished his training with the wills, so how is he appearing as a force ghost to Obi-Wan...Though I will admit, it was good to see Liam Neeson reprise his roll as Qui-gon Jin. I could go on and on but you get what I mean. The story of a Jedi who failed his apprentice, being depressed, having nightmares of his failures, and losing his connection with the force, only then to go on a journey to find himself again and be the protecter and leader that he once was, is good, but it was poorly executed, in my opinion. I'm just not sold on how this show makes any sense from a plot standpoint.

Ep 1, and the last 2 were probably the highlights of this series, i was super disappointed of the OBIWAN show. I was just happy for seeing Ewan and hayden atleast seeming to have some fun together.

Honestly, a lot of my frustrations with this show come down to story choices that contradict a lot of what we know in Star Wars lore. For example: -Obi-Wan and Vader meeting even though A New Hope established their battle on the Death Star was the first time they had seen each other. -Leia and Obi-Wan meeting despite the fact that A New Hope implies they’ve never met. -Obi-Wan being rusty in his force powers despite part of the reason him being on Tatooine is so he can further his training in the Force.

Tbh, i hated this show. It had so much wasted potential, so many bad dialoge, dumb decisions, wasted themes, character assasinations and plotholes. I can not watch any show from them (excluding Andor) without thinking of their CGI room and how much they use it for. It is just sad that the show everybody was waiting for got such a low budget. I want star wars to be so much better and more, but they start to look like parodys of themselfes.

Oh wow so it's been over a year since the last time I watched anything Star Wars? Wow... how the time flies when you're having fun

I see the problems with the Obi Wan series, BUT , to be honest, I still think it's by far the best Star Wars we've had since George sold it. The moments with Hayden and Ewan are perfect and evoke so many emotions and represent the depth of Lucas' vision. The climax duel between Kenobi and Vader in this is one the alltime greatest scenes, imo. Beautifully tragic.

I'd argue Reva works because she shows what Anakin could have been, someone who was on the same dark path but was able to make the right choice before it was too late. Obi Wan couldn't save Anakin, but he could save Reva

Great analysis of a mixed bag of a series..you didn't sh!t all over it but you also carefully analyzed the critical points in valid ways. This was a show I had very high expectations for and was not fully satisfied with.. but it wasn't ALL bad. Overall, it's serviceable to me, but I still feel that Disney could've done a LOT better than what they gave us.. could've done a LOT worse, too though 😅.

Yeah roasting of the cousin was one of my all time favorite snark moments

Obi Wan being buried by the rocks is a great visual representation of the ten years he spent buried in depression and guilt.

Vader effectively interrogating the daughter of one of the most powerful planets in the galaxy would be seen as an act of war. Reminder we are 15 years before the Death Star that had the sole intent on making sure that even if worlds did ally against the empire it would be pointless. The Emperor and Vader were still playing politics.

I was very disappointed in Obi-Wan Kenobi show. I don't hate it blindly. I've watched the edited version of the series and it helps improves the show but I still have issues with it as a whole. I like your edits as well. There was so much potential in the show to be great/amazing which is way I'm more critical and think it failed. Lastly. There's a few bright spots in the show but now reflating on the series. All I can think is Imagine if ObI-Wan had the same treatment as Andor.

Leia had Padme's bleeding heart. Even before the prequels existed.

19:57 my take on Kenobi’s memories was George Lucas’s understanding of what was wrong with the Jedi: it’s rejection of attachments. By forming attachments to Luke and Leia, Obi wan demonstrates the light side is more powerful than the dark side.

Great analysis and synopsis. I like your changes and your more balanced review.

I honestly hate this show, however the person who edited down into a film (Kai Patterson) actually made it watchable. I feel as though if Darth Vader and Obi Wan didn’t fight each other but saw each other a single time at the end of the show it would have been a more powerful and heart wrenching moment. I also think bringing Leia in was a mistake. Imagine if instead of bringing Leia in they instead followed through with their original idea of Obi Wan and Commander Cody reuniting and hunting Darth Maul and his crime syndicate. They would’ve been able to make a more mature show and a more thought provoking one, but Disney has to pander towards their desired audience of children. They forget that the vast majority of their audience is over 20 now, and we desperately need a Star Wars show that takes itself seriously (like Andor but with light sabers). Again the film cut is superior, because of it I will never rewatch the series. I just wish they made a series good enough for a rewatch.

The first time I saw Anakin in Vader, was on Malachor. Motherkriffer, flew down, standing on top of his custom TIE, saber alight, while piloting the damn thing with the Force.

Star Wars forum in China hated this whole series dramatically and all the comments in it are criticizm. they almost gaslighted me into thinking Obi-Wan series is not as good. thanks for this video to bring me another chance to appreciate this series.

I personally think that even though this show is probably one of the worst star wars show but it has some of the best star wars moments ever. At the end of the day, it should've been a film.

I enjoyed the series for the most part. I didn't like young princess Leia that much though, but I thought Riva was fine.

I was really confused as to why you were talking about the Obi-Wan show in a Force Awakens video... and then I realized KZfaq had auto-played to the next video! XD

We all wanted fresh out the oven Chrispy Cream and what we got was day old gas station. It somewhat resembles a Crispy Cream. It knows what we want and it did enough to entice us, we were hungry. But as soon as we bit in we knew what it was.... and we ate the whole thing anyways. Burned again. This show should have been the best of the best.

The Kenobi tv show (plus this review after thinking back to years ago) along with everything else we’ve gotten since 2014. Made realize something. As much I miss George Lucas’s personal directorial touch on the franchise. However before George Lucas sold the rights to Star Wars. I always remember wanting more official stories out of the franchise. Yet George Lucas after the Prequels/The Clone Wars constant criticisms. I can’t imagine him wanting to make more Star Wars movies or shows. Now thinking about all of the things we gotten since the buy out. Star Wars fans (regardless of the objective quality of what we got) have more movies and tv shows then we’ve ever gotten before. It is truly a plentiful time to be a Star Wars fan. Again regardless of whether or not you liked any of the movies or shows. It is truly an wonderfully strange time indeed. Also the Kenobi show is decent/pretty good at times.

IF there is a S2, i really wish they find a way to maybe show kenobi’s thoughts on his whole arc with maul while he trains with qui gon. maybe then on the other side show maul when he wasn’t in rebels and recreate that final death scene in live action

Aside from having hayden and Ewan back and that emotional scene between vader and obi wan even though it breaks Canon

When you mentioned how this show gave new context to some lines from the OT, it made me realize that Obi Wan really wasn’t lying when he told Luke that Vader killed his father.. :/

The execution was imperfect, but Ewan and Hayden made it worth watching.

So refreshing to see a non-toxic SW fan's reaction

Auralnauts' abridged Star Wars is the best thing to come out of Disney Star Wars.

Rebels did the best job of showing General Kenobi transitioning to Ben Kenobi. And he was only in that episode for like 10 minutes

Honestly, Im new to the channel, and you undoubtedly have some of the most in-depth, objective, and respectful reviews of star wars out there. It's so refreshing to see this as most of star wars youtube is polarized and undestandbly emotional on both ends of the fandom. Also, I share alot of your opinions too. So, thank you for all these videos as I've been obsessed with them and they make me nostalgic.

I would love a tv show showing Kit Fisto and what he was up to during the bigger SW timeline apart from what we got in the clone wars tv show. I think an anthology show about the jedis and those we met vaguely during the og and prequel movies would be amazing.

Also just found this channel from this video! Subbed instantly bro! I also love when you connected what bill burr’s character said w kenobi

a little bit of an explanation on the purpose of Obi Wans scene buried in rocks, when the duel starts Obi wan is in the mindset of of his old self, his Padawn has come back as a demon to kill him, battling Vader to right his previous mistakes by finishing the job and killing Vader, but i think Obi wan is forgetting his purpose in the galaxy at this time, but when he is buried and reaches into the force, the force shows him visions of Luke and Leia which makes him realize that he is no longer a general but the last bastion of defense for the new hope hope and chosen one, Going into the fight Vaders mindset is that of revenge his focus is on embarassing and inflicting pain onto obi wan, Obi wans mindset at the start was to simply kill Anakin but when he shifts his focus from killing anakin to defending Leia and Luke his purpose is clear and he knows what is important for the future and starts to best Vader who is stuck in the past.

This was a great overview of the series. Me personally, I enjoyed every episode thoroughly when it came out and I really loved every arc off of the main characters! This video opened my eyes to some of the problems this series had, but I don't think it really changes my overall opinion, and it's really refreshing to see someone praise this series and also just see opinions from a non-toxic fan nowadays

Great vid as always, personally I loved the cinematography and acting, I would rate this show 7/10, I think reeva wasn’t necessarily needed, I’d rather have the 9th sister to return because we don’t see her die, i guess that idea is fan servicey but I would like to know her story more than just a small video game act

I will say that I wish it had been a movie instead of a series, since the narrative would have been much tighter.

I think season two could/should deal with Crimson dawn and Maul - Someone needs to break it up so Maul can be stranded on Malakor. One way they can get Vader in (because you know they would) could be that Obi and Mauls conflict attracts Imperial attention, and Vader gets tasked with Killing Maul, and at the climax, Obi sees Vader (who does not notice him) and chooses to go away, again giving up on his friend. Maul and Vader can fight, and Maul is ultimately forced to flee to Malakor to seek his revenge.

This is the only star wars show I have finished and the only one I watched week to week. Loved it with its flaws and all

Great video! One year later and I still find the series to be pretty good. Nothing bad or great and it's my third favorite Star Wars TV show of all time

Waited in line in the 70's and still love the movies now found Disney + and binge watching all of it

Great Video!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I never understood why people don't like it that much! Other than Reva, This Show Is Absolutely Fantastic In My Opinion! As a Huge Fan Of The Prequels, It's So Amazing to Finally See Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen Return!!! It's Everything I Could've Wanted!!!

The writing in this show was horrendous. Reminded me of rings of power type writing. I don't have enough energy to break down all the plot issues. I also think it's laughable that a bunch of people think it's better than why prequel story.

This is an amazing analysis of the brilliance and deep attention to character details and development in this show. I LOVED Obiwan series it’s one of my favourite SW content overall.

It was Mace Windu’s fault. If he’d let Anakin come with him to the Senate to confront the Chancellor, he never would’ve turned.

I disagree about your assessment of Palpatine and Vader. Palpatine threatening Vader to not pursue Obi Wan anymore, precisely achieved the mission of keeping Vader angry. The risk that Vader finds and kills Obi Wan, and achieves peace, means there is a chance Vader might turn back towards good. Alternatively, the risk that Obi Wan defeats Vader, means Palpatine will be humiliated publicly with his right hand man defeated, and he will then be vulnerable for growing resistance against himself. It makes perfect sense for Palpatine to tell Vader to let Obi Wan go.

While this show had many many flaws I think I still enjoyed it overall

As someone who was underwhelmed with how Obi-Wan Kenobi played out, I really want a season 2 because there's so much potential to not only correct a lot of the story's mistakes but also further the character into his evolution from "Ewan McGregor" into "Alec Guinness." I especially think that if they included Maul in this journey it could do wonders beyond just fan service. We could learn more about Crimson Dawn (& how Maul lost it to Qi'ra) as well as how Obi-Wan learned to forgive the unforgivable as he seemed to genuinely harbor no ill will against the man who took both his master & lover by Rebels.

I am 3 video's in to your channel and you are quickly becoming one of the best breakdown channels iv seen to date and I really enjoy breakdown video's

The best part about the show became the worst part: Leia. I feel like Leia & Obi-wan having such a close relationship kinda altered my perception of ANH, and not in a good way. Honestly, emotionally, this show just didn’t really live up to what I felt like it should have been. This show should have left me in tears… instead it left me with … questions?

Be honest... I really like this series

One of the greatest crimes foisted upon our screens

Honestly this had no business being a TV series. You can (And people have) cut out a lot of the fluff and this is a really solid Star Wars Movie. The same could be said for a lot of these Disney+ shows though tbf..

_"Did we need to see this story being told?"_ "And I cannot tell you how much I hate this question. There has never been a story that was necessary or needed to happen. After A New Hope came out, The Empire Strikes Back was not a 'necessary story'. After the originals came out, the prequels were not 'necessary stories'. When Disney bought Star Wars, the sequels and spin-offs were not 'necessary stories'." THANK YOU!! FINALLY someone else is saying this!

I feel Obi-Wan is a good series. Not the most amazing, it filled a void that a lot of people could easily predict as to how it would play out even with some twists, but there were some good moments. I didn't mind young Leia or Reva, and the moments that explored Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship and collective trauma were what I came for and were done spectacularly well. Could it have been better, yes, but I'm good with what we got.

"Are you going to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again?" ".... YES!" _image of someone having a seizure_

Making Obi Wan depressed to start with allows him to have character development in the series. I liked it, aside from the stuff with Reva

I can't believe this man just said that he liked the scene where Reva attacks Luke's house. It might even be worse than the forest chase scene. There is no way Reva couldn't handily kill 2 farmers. The entire scene is so goofy.
