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.

All the "ingredients" were here : Star wars legacy, Kenobi, Darth Vader, a big budget, supposedly creative minds behind this. It's good but it should have been better. It was too uneven for a Star wars series. There should have been a better job from casting director, i mean, some actors were not very good and Princess Leia should have been older (Of course i am not blaming the little girl, she did her best but they should have chosen for her character to be a bit older, she was too young for such an iconic role). McGregor was very good though, some secondary characters as well (Kumail Nanjiani, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Indira Varma etc).

It never got boring, however, for a 6 episodes series, there were too many not so interesting moments. The interaction between Kenobi and Vader was exciting. Some nice fights, some awkward scenes. At times, it seemed it was gonna be great but truth is, it promised more than it delivered. Still, if you are a huge Star wars fan, lower your expectations and you will probably enjoy it.
