This was a story that simply didn't need to be told, and especially not like this. But hey - we gotta get those Disney+ subscriptions up, so let's bring back Vader! Again!

i relate to obi having nightmares of episode 1-3, though they seem brilliant now. it sure is disney, every character's a cartoon. it's also written with only the most superficial understanding of the material and produced like a fan film. EVERYTHING is awful, there's no scene w/o a nonsensical move by some character (especially obi) or lame contrivances to advance the "plot". baby leia has no arc, she's just small grown up leia (w/o any of a kid's limitations). the farce is strong with this one.

It helps if you pretend that everything Disney has made is fan-fiction. Oh and bourbon. Lots and lots of bourbon. It makes the chase scene been high-level Empire goons and a 10-year-old girl much more believable. I recommend Maker's Mark but Jim Beam works fine.

Starts unexpectedly w/ a 10yo Leia & depressed Kenobi. Unfortunately it's riddled w/ plotholes. Why does a fire put Vader off Kenobi? Why does Reva use a laser cannon when she can just lightsaber the door? Why does she wait till Vader's NOT distracted before trying to kill him? & adult Leia's great, but a 10yo, WISE(!), know-it-all's an annoying brat. & F Disney for their You're A Racist If You Make A Black Actor "feel in any way unwelcome". If H. Christensen were black, he could cry racism too.

Lmao Disney really Disneyed this one up my bros. How the hell did they think pairing Obi-wan up with a wise-ass little kid sidekick the whole season was the play?

This might look like a story with a plot, but it is just a rehash, a snake eating its own tail, it has nothing to say. Baby Leia is adorable and the cast is good, but this show has nothing to say about anything, no emotional stakes, emotional conflict, engaging characters. The public is invited to connect some dots in all aspects of what makes a story. Very flimsy show. Also, the 'story' is kinda the same beats as Mandalorian: loner guy is forced to protect kid??

F$¢¥ you Disney for creating this abomination. There are almost no redeeming qualities, everything is bad or atrociously bad. The writing is completely incompetent, full of plot holes, complete nonsense and directly contradictory to the source material. The writers and director should be fired and banned for life from working on any media format. The rights to Star Wars should be removed from Disney ASAP. Absolute trash!

When will we tire of this 'weaponized intertextuality', where joyless foreshadowing becomes the industrial replacement for meaningful plot? I wonder how its all going to end...hang on a second, no I don't.

So, after the Mandalorian, and The Bad Batch, another Disney+ SW original series is centered around finding/protecting kids? And to start it off, you had to turn Kenobi into a coward, too? smh.

A disgusting amount of Kumail in this.

Absolute trash. He is a side character in his own series. Also, the writers don't care about continuity or respecting the original masterpieces at all. Such a complete shambles of a show.

After a couple of episodes that teased the potential of this post-prequel tale, the show took a nosedive into bland and uninspired filler territory before sort-of sticking the landing in the final episode. But ultimately it’s a missed opportunity wherein the titular character’s story mostly seems to serve as a coat-hanger for other stories, but for a moment it managed to get me excited about something relating to the Star Wars prequels, and that is an achievement in itself.

Rough acting/casting, shallow characters, and poor storytelling. Why are there so many goofy and slapstick elements incorporated? In the past, it seems like Star Wars has come to try to derive comedy and charm from clever and quirky lines, but that writing is not here. Instead we're watching some dude get bonked on the head and acting like a dizzy cartoon character about it, or seeing how many times a few guys can trip over some tree roots.

Not only does it have the cinematography and apparent production value of a 90s fantasy TV show, the writing is arguably worse (at least those shows were fun). This is more dull, bleak, meandering garbage from Disney's Lucasfilm which has consistently proven it doesn't understand what made Star Wars so special in the first place.

I think this is more like a one long movie. (I wish they'd made it a movie.) An I liked that movie. Of course there are elements bothered me a little but overall, unlike episodes 7,8 & 9, this feels like Star Wars. It convinced me that I'm watching the galaxy far far away. So, I let those bothersome details go. Also a big thanks to the adult cast as they really tried their best. It shows...

Points of it, yes, are abrasive - some acting choices are flat-out jarring, and all the fight scenes happen in a straight line for some reason - but each episode improves. Leia’s portrayal is tenacious and endearing, Vader, finally, lives up to his terror, becoming as much of a slasher movie boogeyman as Disney legal council can allow, and Obi-Wan’s arc holds the gravity of two suns. Most of it can be skipped through but the last 40 minutes elevates the original series, shows, and the prequels.

An improvement in pacing compared to Boba and most of Mando, but weaker choreography. It also includes so many eye-rolling moments such as characters fumbling with easily passable barriers, or Obi-Wan being the most obvious undercover Jedi ever. But I do think the show added to the overall story in a positive way even if the execution was not well done.
