Well, we arrived to an end in Kenobi, all what I have to say about it:
I think this show was a disappointment. There are many mistakes and many things weird. The biggest mistake is Reva. I think the actress gave her best but the writing is extremely poor. Her redemption arc was horrible and would have made much more sense she being killed by Vader, the Grand Inquisitor or Kenobi. The show seemed more about Reva than Kenobi. On the other hand, the last fight between Obi Wan and Darth Vader is not as good as it should had been. It wasn’t even original, since what happened is the same as what happened between Vader and Ahsoka in Rebels. The “resurrection” of Obi Wan should had been more developed. There is no way he was able to defeat Vader just because he has a bond with Leia. Talking about Leia, she was great, she was the soul of the show. Another major point: Vader is ruthless in Star Wars Canon yes, but he is not stupid. Yet, in the show he appears reckless rather than ruthless. Yes, he is really evil in the show but he always leaves his opponents alive, he loses track of his enemies and he looks evil but ineffective, which is completely wrong since Vader is effective. The inquisitors are mere decoration, so much potential lost there because they focused on Reva… I wished the Grand Inquisitor had more screen time, he was great. Haja is a terrible character that makes absolutely no sense. From being a scammer to becoming part of the rebellion just because he met a real jedi? They tried to create a new Hondo and instead they created a human Jar Jar. The communion between Obi Wan and Qui gon could had been done much better. There was a lot of fan service, too much. But I think the worst part is the huge amount of “convenient” things that happened to lead the story from one place to another. Obi Wan captured by Stormtroopers? Nah, Tala is there to save the day. Obi Wan captured by Reva? Nah, he will convince her of attacking Vader. Leia escaping in the tunnels? Nah, Reva will capture her. I think there are more things to say about this show (and I didn’t even talk about the terrible way they directed everything, with the camera moving like if it was a fan film) but my conclusion is that Disney doesn’t know how to produce Star Wars shows when there is a lot of hype. They fail miserably whenever they are asked to do something big. Only when the show or movie is not expected to succeed they produce good things (last season of Clone Wars, Mandalorian, the Bad Batch, Rogue One).
Mandalorian is equal garbage just like Kenobi but at least it has entertainment value.
Kenobi is so bad that it could actually be a star wars spoof.
was taken straight from a Robot Chicken or Family Guy cartoon.
At the end of the day Disney took the qoute "Star Wars is about space wizards and ww2 fighter planes in space. Stop taking it so seriously" and just rolled with it.
