Judging by the two episodes screened at Star Wars Celebration, Deborah Chow and the cast and crew have not only risen to the occasion, but they’ve exceeded all hopes. ... Kenobi feels like a true auteur vision. Chow’s stamp is all over this series, making it feel like a unique entry in the Star Wars saga. ... Kenobi feels high stakes, emotionally deep, and like the first Star Wars series to Matter, capital M. It’s a feat.

So far, though, Obi-Wan feels respective of both its canonical past and the future that lays ahead, and while it’s the exact opposite of new ground, this does feel like a chapter of the Star Wars saga that makes sense to explore...a show we’re hyped to see through to the end.

In telling the stories of the galaxy’s most famous stars, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” just has to put one foot in front of the other, sow seeds of what’s to come, and have enough self-awareness to know both its limits and what the audience wants from these characters. On those fronts, at least, the show seems right on track.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, released on Disney Plus on Friday, offers a slight change of tack: a self-contained story, centring on one of the saga’s most familiar characters. Judging by the first two episodes, it feels like it’s pulled it off.

Fascinating, occasionally thrilling, and yet sometimes deeply frustrating series.

Obi-Wan Kenobi feels less like a major disturbance in the force than just more Disney+ content churned out to keep subscriber numbers up. McGregor brings tremendous depth and empathy as Kenobi and the show is worth staying with for him alone. ... For now, Obi-Wan is watchable but nothing more.

Obi-Wan had a larger problem: It was dumb as a rock. Simple rules of spatial logic went out the window. Main characters kept almost killing each other, and then walking away long enough for their wounded opponent could recover.

Рекомендую к просмотру.Сериал занял почетное место среди оригинальных эпизодов: органично связал между собой события старых и новых фильмов.Восхищает игра актёров и музыкальное сопровождение,внимание к деталям.Смотрится на одном дыхании,смотреть рекомендую в оригинальной озвучке.10/10

It's a bit uneven. There are some good parts/acting/fights but then there are some bad stuff too. Overall it's a bit cheesy and not really up my alley.

While I enjoy seeing Kenobi again, the direction that Disney has taken has truly hindered the series. A couple of scenes you can see the lightsaber bouncing off of objects like baseball bats, which kind of makes the series seem more childish. Kenobi has been my favorite in the Star Wars universe, but this series did not do him justice.

A pointless story revolving around Obi-Wan Kenobi that ends up adding nothing much to his or the star wars lore. There's large logic gaps in the way this show was written and it ends feeling like it didn't accomplish anything. The character Reva is written as one of the most unlikeable and unrealistic characters I've ever seen in a TV show. What's worse is that they had something that sounded much better in Stuart Beattie original movie trilogy script (Star Wars Theory has an interview with him where he details it) and they **** it for this mess of a show.

It is the worst piece of SW I have ever experienced - including games and comic books. It all comes down to the new antagonist - female inquisitor. This characters is tragically written and/or ( I cannot stress that enough, that it might be script and director fault not the actress) played. She behaves as if she knew the script, because she dimantles absolutely every mystery just by being there. I must admit that there were chills during OW and DV fight and cameos, but good story it was definitely not. I fid not believe people who were saying "it was that bad", do not make that mistake - it is that bad, so it is not worth watching.
