I’m not sure why it happened like that. Japan is Region A though for some reason- same as the US, so they play on our players. Well, I know our movies were big over there for a long time, and the Japanese used to be the main Asian market Hollywood aimed to please. Then at some point, their interests shifted away from us and that's when trying to appease China came into the picture. But that last point is neither here nor there. The large consumption of American entertainment products in the past might account for why both nations are Region A. The cool part is that they play in English automatically. I don’t even have to change it on the menus. I should watch them again to get my money worth. 70 bucks a season! I only bought my favorite ones though.

Well I’ve seen some of it now.. So I get to have an opinion! I know. I know. But you’re getting it anyway! To be objective I will start with the good. There were nostalgic moments that got me. Uncle Owen. That Jawa. It’s fan pandering. I know that. But you put a god damn Jawa up on my screen and I’m smiling. I just am. I’m thinking “Mickey Mouse, you clever son of a bitch. You know how to work em.” But I’m still smiling at that Jawa. Can’t deny it. The bad: it’s just a very MEH show. I’m sorry. It is. I won’t call it cliched because Star Wars is allowed to embrace classic tropes. And I don’t think Obi Doobie Doo as the wounded retired hero is a bad concept. But holy space Jesus is this the most tired lifeless by the numbers version of that trope I’ve seen in a while. That Jawa though. Give me a Jawa show, Disney. I need that shit. You should at least watch till ep 3 but ep 5 is the big one

The finale...good. {Spoiler} The Vader-Kenobi fight was the highlight for me. Kenobi again trashing him and leaving him all alone with his anger and his rage. It's fitting. I kind of rolled my eyes at the convenient teleportation of Kenobi and Reva here. They took a page out of Game of Thrones playbook in that regard. I liked that Leia is the last person in this series to call him Obiwan. Assuming nobody else does before A New Hope that's a nice touch that the next time he hears it it's her voice on a recording. The Luke stuff was ok. I just didn't feel invested in Revas character much this entire series. She's just not a character I'm interested in seeing more of based on this sample size. I really liked the arc of Kenobis character here tho. He gets through a lot of emotional baggage by the end of it. It's a journey I enjoyed watching him go through even if there were some bumps along the way. The Qui Gon cameo was a nice touch. Overall this series is below The Mandalorian and Boba Fett for me...but I still enjoyed it, especially every time Kenobi and Vader shared the scenery.

I'd give the series a 6/10. I would say 7. Story thin as paper. Ok Obiwan had a good character arc. Reva... meh. Vader nothing. Overall the show was cool moments and a cameo or two. The awesome action scenes save the show from being bad.

If you had followed our review series you'd know I consider Obi-Wan Kenobi to be somewhat of a mixed bag. It suffers a lot from a condition I would like to refer to as Nowayhomecidus. Cool cameo's, fantastic action scenes but little to no plot, a little too much sillyness and if there is character development its a bit too much spelled out and predictable. I loved the final for what it was: Great fanservice. Maybe even the best fanservice I have ever seen.

I also give the series 7/10. It was a good show, not great, but good. I feel like it came together better than the sum of its parts (which were mostly midgrade), creating something with a lot of heart. McGregor carried the series with all the weight and regrowing charm needed to keep it interesting. The supporting cast was a true delight as well, especially Young Leia and Tala. The action and sets weren't terrible, but could have been improved, but I never really minded them. In all, I think if they learn from what worked and what didn't with this series, future Star Wars Stories should have a bright future, and they've been improving in leaps and bounds.

I didn’t know anybody was even talking about pacing. I never had any issue with it. But I could definitely see it being a couple of films. I felt it was film worthy the whole show. Great stuff!

Not interested. Especially not since that inane "fan cut" of Endgame which deleted every important thing performed by anyone not a white male.

I hope not The cut of Endgame I'm talking about was considered anti-woke by its creator, which was why it removed as much of the women as possible. The cut will heavily focus on removing Reva and Leia, I guarantee it. Not interested. I like the show as it is.

Interesting.
I actually just watched episode numero uno last night. I'm pretty behind. It's promising though!
I watched tiny little Princess Leia sticking it to her cousin telling him he just repeats what his father says because he barely has a mind of his own and wants to be feared because he's scared, and in my head I'm hearing the crowd from the end of 8 Mile chanting "CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE!"
It's early, but so far, so bueno.

Such an epic waste of Darth Vader returning, should have gotten a more creatively experienced team behind it.
