When all's said and done, I really enjoyed this one and that's not just because Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite Star Wars character of all time. I felt the themes, story ideas and character moments were great, and for the most it is a great bridge between the PT and OT. Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprised their roles effortlessly, and Viven Lyra Blair was absolutely wonderful as young Leia and I hope she has a prosperous career ahead of her. Throughout the whole show I completely bought that she would grow up into young Carrie Fisher and makes me so bummed that Carrie is gone; she woulda loved Blair and coulda been a cool granny mentor to her. I suppose my only nitpick is how the presentation seems just a bit...off. Not that it's bad, but moreso than Mando and Book you can really feel that this was made for a small screen. It's rather ironic that Mando and Book, small-scale stories, appear to be shot and presented on a grander scale while the show about one of the most famous OG Star Wars characters feels the most reserved and tight. Again, not bad, just really noticeable. Reva's story kinda lost me by the end and I'm a bit wary of her surviving, but we'll see if they do anything with her down the line. I'd say that this is the 2nd strongest D+ live action show debut season, under Mando but above Book. My ranking of the episodes would be 3>6>5>1>2>4. Not sure if I'd want a season 2 given how this one ended, but we'll see. Overall this was a great show and I feel is the easiest to get into for casual viewers who've only seen the movies. The best way I feel for a rewatch is to split the 6 episodes into 3 blocks of 2 each to view them like movies.

I don't include SW Explained in this category, but after Part 3, I had to stop watching all of the KZitem film pundits that became a part of my daily viewing habits since the shutdown. I watched people whose opinions I respect a great deal start off with the basic premise of liking an episode, just to end up talking themselves into NOT liking that same episode after a two hour recap show. It's like paralysis by analysis. In fairness to them, I've watched them do the same thing with the Marvel D+ shows, and I was fine with it. But, my emotional connection with this project was so deep, I just had to tune out the noise and judge it based on my own reactions. All of that said, I watched and enjoyed your coverage of the show, and I can't wait for 'Andor' Hope that AC gets fixed!

And if they want an antagonist for him to fight on Tatooinee, they could always just recanonize that Tusken Raider Jedi and the entirety of his legends story, (A'Sharad Hett was his name,) he survived Order 66 and went back to the tribe that raised him on Tatooinee. He eventually started causing trouble by helping his tribe take back lands by force, and endangering Tatooinee's inhabitants, so that was when Obi-Wan came out and confronted him. The two would duel, and Obi-Wan would end up defeating him, and slicing off his arm; and then the Tuskens would then proceed to ban him for failing to defeat Kenobi. This is the same Jedi that goes on to become the Sith Lord known as Darth Krayt some decades after the original trilogy. So they could easily do this, and while at the same time, setting up A'Sharad Hett as Darth Krayt in a post sequel trilogy era.

I like this series for what it is despite its flaws. I actually do not want a second season as I don't know what else they can do with Kenobi during this time period without bumping up against established canon. I mean they were pushing the limits by using legacy characters like Leia and Luke. For a second season what could they possibly really do? Obi-wan Kenobi chilling with Qui-gon would be interesting for an episode but that's it. Another confrontation between Maul and Kenobi in live action would be awesome but that would conflict with what we see in Rebels. Personally I agree that we need to see more stories centered away from the Skywalker saga and delving into new characters.

Good takes here, Alex. I mean, I had some complaints about certain moments of execution and writing here and there, especially with some visuals, but none of that took away from the power of the narrative for me. The story and the thematic concepts just worked for me on pretty much every level. I really and truly don’t think this “broke canon” as much as I’m seeing people say it did. For every question the show put out, I feel like they either provided a direct answer (i.e. everything with the Grand Inquisitor), or a moment in which we could do some guessing and arrive at a logical conclusion. Guesswork and speculation aren’t always bad things, imo. Also, everything with Vader and Obi-Wan just really worked for me, especially their moment in the finale. Strong 8 out of 10 overall.

I just got recommended an article that claimed Obi-Wan Kenobi has killed the star wars franchise and it just made me so frustrated. Thank you for making these videos you never fail to restore my faith in star wars fans. Personally I wasn't excited for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Partially because of it being a bridging story. Partially because of the comics with his journals and my fears the show would retcon things (but it makes perfect sense he wouldn't write about Leia or Reva in his journal because of the danger they were both in). Partially because I didn't grow up on the prequels so I didn't have the same nostalgia or expectations as a lot of people did (ahsoka is where all my hopes like that lie since I grew up with clone wars and rebels and the canon thrawn trilogy). And I think the fact that I wasn't excited made me love this show. I feel like a lot of people were blinded by their expectations and became so fixed on what they wanted that they couldn't just sit back and enjoy the ride. The show surprised me in ways I didn't expect it to, and did an amazing job with character development. My favourite part was definitely Reva's journey and my favourite moment was her bringing Luke back and crying. (Maybe partially because the thing I was most excited about in this series was the inquisitorius). I feel like it's so easy to let the haters sour our enjoyment of things. Watching these videos reminds me of what I loved in it. I think Obi-wan Kenobi was pretty much the best show it could've been. And I still think we need to be leaving the Skywalker saga behind for the moment (possibly forever), but I'm glad Obi-Wan Kenobi happened, and I hope they utilise Reva well in future (maybe in jedi Survivor as an ally to cal I would be so happy).

However, a positive note about using the Volume in production is the realistic lighting. In particular the lightsaber glow on the faces of Kenobi and Vader in the finale. Which I believe added to the emotional impact of their performances and the sound design of Anakin/Darth's voice. We have never got that before with a green screen as good as that.

I think I mostly agree with your criticisms of The Volume and the music. But on my second watches, those concerns evaporated and I was just enjoying the ride. If it was poorly written or Ewan, the other actors, or Deborah Chow phoned it in to pick up a paycheck, then yes; this would have been a let down. But it was so well done despite its budgetary limitations that I am A-OK with what was presented. I am now even more interested in reading Master and Commander after the final scene of the show and I immediately hopped on Amazon and pre-ordered the Ben on Eopie Funko Pop which releases just after my birthday. So yes, I’d say this show was awesome and worth the wait. I laughed, I wondered, I got suspicious, and even got emotional, so this holds a special place in my youthful heart as Obi-Wan was my favorite character in the prequel trilogy. I suppose it was the Boy Scout in me or that I have red hair, but I was so looking forward to this show and it paid off!

I think my main problem was that Reva's character was randomly linked so closely to all of these legacy characters, it was little too close for my liking; (Vader, Obi-Wan, Luke, Leia, Owen, Beru, and so on,) that connection just felt very out of place and forced. I mean, she now conveniently knows about all these secrets surrounding the legacy characters (Vader's true identity, and Obi-Wan's & Luke's presence on Tatooinee,) and then they proceeded to keep her alive... that's very risky to the lore, and Reva's probably gonna have some serious plot armor so as to not divulge such sensitive information, which means there won't hardly be any stakes with the character. With that said, they should've just killed her off at the end, there's no point in keeping side characters alive just to make more pointless spin-off shows.

I totally agree. It was unnecessary risking of the lore. That she then survives with no consequence makes it even worse. They must have been forced to shoehorn her into the plot. To set her up for her own spin-off show.

I viewed this series as if it were a long movie with different parts (like Zack Snyder's Justice League) and tbh I was all the better for it! I encourage everyone to do the same even if you've watched the series part by part. Anyways, it was supposed to be a film to begin with. Did I have issues with it? Absolutely, though they were mostly very minor. But they would never take away from the absolute blast I had with this "movie". Kenobi's story in this series, his r/s with Leia, the use of Vader/Anakin, Reva's arc, side characters like Haja, Tala and her droid were all done very well. I thought seeing Hayden and Ewan alone would bring me so much joy, but all these elements worked very well together and delivered a 4+ hour movie I wouldn't hesitate to watch again!

It was clear that it wasn't going to be the story I wanted after episode one. Setting those expectations aside, and taking the series as the thing that it is, I liked it over all. I think each episode was better than the one before it. The writing on a macro scale was good, but I think the more I pick it apart the less praise I have. Especially when it comes to Lisa's dialogue, I just have a hard time believing that a child would act or speak that way, regardless of their history. But if the biggest issue I have with a series I've wanted this much for this long is some choppy dialogue in a Star Wars show (gasp) I think that's pretty good.

I sometimes feel they just say "good enough". I hope the Ahsoka show will be better on the production and execution side. And I say it again, watching the Boys and stranger things during the runtime of Kenobi, really shows the lack of overall quality. To conclude with a positive note, Ewan did an outstanding job and it was a joy watching him act the hell out of that character. Also little Leia kind of worked pretty good, the actress did very well and I hope we see more of her and the character.

For the most part, I like your analysis on this series. However I think your criticism of such a small Attack Force, take a look at it again look at the landscape they didn't really have a lot of real estate to stuff Scott Walkers or AT-AT's ... being 5 years old at the time of release of episode 4, the Star Wars saga has always been in my life. I've paid attention quite closely, catching some of the Side Stories not really interested in the animates,, for those of us who didn't see Rebels, found it to be very cool and surprising that Vader and Kenobi face off again you could say Vader Kenobi Park Ii,, considering their first encounter in the series was interrupted I love both of their battles as one,, I loved how they were using the Rocks against each other especially when Kenobi used him against Vader I thought was absolutely outstanding it made me actually laugh out loud because of how cool it was and how well done that whole scene was. Taking half of his mask off was pretty awesome. I believe it to be nitpicking a bit and if we're going to nitpick we could also talk about the recorded message and episode 4 from R2D2 to Ben Kenobi when Princess Leia States General Kenobi you served with my father in The Clone Wars like she had no memory of this situation and obviously as Star Wars fans we can let that little detail slide,,, I think Owen McGregor delivered a five-star performance and I honestly give this series of five star rating as 100% outstanding yeah one might talk about little idiosyncrasies but even in the major Motion Pictures in the early days there were a few that we overlooked,, I must say this rates number one in the series from Kenobi#2 Boba Fett#3 the Mandalorian, even though the Mandalorian got the ball rolling and was very good I honestly must say this miniseries was just Superior to both of them extremely well done.. from when this all started being a 5-year-old now being a 50-year-old we should all be thankful and very happy that this story lives on and is even gotten to be bigger and better as the years have gone by,, one thing I may disagree upon is I don't think it is possible for an overuse of Darth Vader I think if you took a poll and asked our fellow fans I think a lot of us wouldn't mind seeing even more and more of him.. maybe I feel this way because I am a first generation fan,, yeah the other Sith characters were just okay however there is no character like Darth Vader,, I would perhaps like to see a series centered around him so those of us that would like to see more of him get a very strong dosage LOL,, but yes all of the memory tie-ins and everything that you did mention this is why it adds up to still being a five-star series and again Ewan McGregor was simply fantastic he is done such a awesome job as replacing and owning the early years of our interpretation of what Obi-Wan Kenobi is so this is why I say a five-star performance on his part and again a five-star reading for the series. May the force be with you all,,, always

There's no excuse for the lack of established musical themes. For a simple reason, we had them all in the Prequels. The Force theme, Imperial march, Leia's theme and many others. If they were present in the Prequels, there's no reason for them not to be present in this series. Seems to me that the composer for this had ego issues and thought that her music will be original enough to replace Williams. She was wrong. For f***c sake, we have Leia's theme from the moment she was born and delivered to Alderaan. Why not have it since the first episode of this series...

Through episode 5, I thought the show was good but not that good. I thought it was ok. I thought the show looked very cheap, and I didn’t think the story being told justified the show being made. I thought that even though the show was good enough that it was a mistake. I thought episode 6 really tied it together and made the show worth it overall. I think it’s not ideal that it took the last episode for the show to really come together, and that probably indicates to me that it would be better as a movie with a tighter story and a bigger budget. I look forward to watching it again without a week separating each episode, so I can get a better sense of how the whole thing flows.

just my honest, emotional opinion - Riva's story arc was either ill-conceived or badly acted. so much so i can't tell which. her motivations just collided awkwardly with each other and she never came over as convincing. but, what was most disappointing for me was the entire series absolutely shredded Star Wars cannon of both Vader/Kenobi, and Kenobi/Leia. Vader and Kenobi's exchange at the end of the fight scene in episode 6 was the best thing in the entire series. i wished they leaned more into Kenobi's internal conflict and they introduced more characters like Tala to amplify his conflict (Tala's character was well acted by the way). for me, little Leia was the only uplifting thing of the entire series. her presence enhanced her legend.

Would have been better without Leia IMO. Don't get me wrong, the young actress was lovely and fantastic! But I like the idea from the original that Obi-Wan was some mythical figure that Leia knew nothing about (other than having fought in the clone wars w/ her father). This series takes place 9-10 years before Yavin, so it's a little preposterous to me that Leia not have any recollection of her time with Obi-Wan... but that's just my opinion. Series would have been better taking a break from Luke and Leia and really focusing on Obi-Wan's interaction with Vader and crew.

I've said this before, but after this show, it doesn't make sense that Leia didn't know who Obi-Wan was. That message was made in a hurry and had to be formal as she couldn't risk the Empire finding that message and hearing that she knew who Obi-Wan was. Plus, when Luke rescues her he says he is here with Ben Kenobi NOT Obi-Wan Kenobi and she reacts with joy as if she knew Obi-Wan Kenobi is Ben Kenobi something Luke didn't know when the famous line of the message "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi you are my only hope" played. So if Luke didn't know that Ben was Obi-Wan then how would Leia?

Overall I think the positives outweighed the negatives, but the show felt cheap, like it was a bargain basement show. It looked like most of the VFX budget went into the final episode, leaving the work experience kid to do the effects for the earlier episodes. For a show that should have felt Epic with a capital E, the show felt small and underwhelming. There were few surprises and it felt like a check list of PT to OT bridging items being joylessly ticked off. There were no stakes and we know our main cast end up ok; the Third Sister was fine, and I really don't understand the hate AT ALL, but her plot felt underdeveloped and a bit overwrought. Felt like there may have been more to her but the script was cut, or stuff was left on the cutting room floor. But on the flipside, Vader was bad ass, the final duel was gratifyingly intense, and mini Leia was terrific. Worth watching for sure, and a step above the shapeless, formless mess that was Boba Fett (PLEASE can we get another BF series so our final memory of Fett isn't some kind of bumbling, respect-obsessed leader of Mos Espa, who we have no idea why he wants to be Daimyo... but I digress). Andor is the series I am REALLY looking forward to, with just the single titular character we know the fate of. Most characters we'll be introduced to we will have no idea what their arcs are, or how they fare. Bring it on!

As great an opportunity and cost saving measure as the Volume and StageCraft is, I really do have issues with the creative limitations of the process. As you mention, it’s looking like the number of characters that can safely fit in the Volume is limited, so crowd scenes or full military scenes feel small and at times underwhelming. But, there are also visual things, lighting - and specifically shadows and contrast - really removes dimension and makes scenes sometimes look a little flat. Even action scenes feel paired back. We’ll see what we get with Andor, but I’m hoping that the Volume eventually becomes a tool rather than seemingly the whole stage. But, budget I guess will dictate that.

If I have one complaint it is the early dialogue the writers gave Reva. It was too cliché, which added to her one dimensionality. It didn't help me to take her seriously until later. There is cliché dialogue in SW, but if you give too much to one character it weakens them. I adjusted my initially low opinion of Moses' performance once I acknowledged she wasn't given great dialogue in the first half.

The Qui-Gon ending disappointed me. What an awkward buzz kill from what would have been an otherwise perfect ending- “Hello there.” Ugh. I enjoyed the series a lot, but what an opportunity missed to have Force Ghost Qui-Gon materialize to Obi-Wan on the ship just before he rushed to confront Vader; reminding us of… Ben Kenobi materializing to Luke in Return of the Jedi before he rushed off to fight Vader. Some brief and powerful back and forth dialogue between Obi and Qui-Gon would have been so rewarding and an instrumental part in Obi-Wan’s return to openly being a mysterious old jedi again, versus having been a shell of his former self in hiding. Ugh. Anyway, as always I’m excited for more Star Wars and these kind of mistakes seem less and less as Disney continues on with new Star Wars stories. They’re finally learning to walk at a brisker pace and it’s refreshing. That was really my only complaint, the ending being so out of place and rushed with just some fan service Qui-Gon line when it could have been a much more deserved and appropriate cameo.

This is why his face is in blue-purple lighting. When the light shifts to pure red that's when he becomes Vader again.

I really had a fun time with the story. And I really don’t want there to be a season two. However I would like to know what happens to Reva after all this? Does she get rec-captured by the empire and then arrested? Does she go into hiding? Or does she get brave and join the beginning of the rebellion? I kinda wanna know that. My only criticism for the series was that the grand inquisitor should’ve stayed dead because I feel like Star Wars has been leaning too much on oh they are not dead lately. I feel like you can only use that idea so many times before it gets stale which it already has for me.

I think Ventress has a lot of backstory baggage and is dead by the point that most of the shows are coming out, but the concept of a dark sider who is cut loose by their master and sort of drifts towards the light while never fully making it is a really good one, so I think they're setting her up to fill that narrative role.

When viewed as a series, the rock-bottom that Obi Wan hits in episodes 3 and 4 fits in better, but it would have been better to see some more explicit self-reflection as he climbed back out. It kind of comes off that he’s a total chump being rescued by everyone else, then suddenly he realizes he can be his old self again and he bounces back fast. I would liked to have heard more of that inner dialogue. I am also still bothered that both Vader and Obi Wan had a chance to kill the other in a duel and seemed motivated to do so, but simply stopped instead. Again, some inner dialogue or even external exposition would have helped.
