Was a'ight!
Felt Star Warsy and some good moments.
7/10 episode and about a 7/10 series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
agree with this. felt the finale has been a bit overhyped by some
----------------------------------------------------------------------
id say 7/10 episode from a 4/10 series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup that about sums up my viewpoint as well.
I think this show has been one of the biggest missed opportunities in television series history. Could and should have been incredible.
Ewan McGregor is fantastic but sadly he's been let down by terrible script writing and poor characters around him including young Leia. Made worse by Disney trying to make a racism scandal out of their shortcomings.
People don't hate Reeva because she's black, they just hate her garbage, poorly written character and how she's been given inordinate and unnecessary amounts of screen time in a show that is meant to be about Obi Wan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have people suggested that the hate on Reva is because she is black?!
FML Twitter needs to be shut down; these idiots do not deserve to have such a loud voice.
Really wish this crap wouldn’t leak into my beloved Star Wars

My understanding (as someone that doesn't use Twitter) is that they said the abuse she was getting online was racially motivated. I think there's probably a distinction to be made between someone not liking her character and someone abusing the actress online.
Problem with Twitter.....and all social medias is a) there is always "that" person, the racist, the sexist etc etc b) the fear mongering media who need clicks. So 99.9% of the comments clearly say Reva is a terrible character, media will focus on the 0.1 cos it garners clicks. People then jump on the band wagon. Media just amplifier the tiny voice and some people believe it's "everybody" unfortunately.
I haven't seen the finale yet but episodes 1-5 were certainly missed opportunities. This wasn't a new character like Mando or Ashoka or a side character like Boba, this was an established,legendary and popular character. I would argue Obi Wan features in most SW fans top 5 list of most popular characters and this is the treatment he was given.
There are certain characters in SW (Luke,Leia,Han,Vader,Obi Wan) that require a higher level of care and respect to be given to them and Disney have not done this.

Yep agreed.
I don't use twitter but social media is a cesspool of unhappy people that project their pain onto others, via racial or other forms of abuse.
SW is also one of the biggest and unfortunately the most toxic of all fan bases. If the prequels came out today, the actors would have been destroyed.
Disney will continue to politick, and claim this show is a ‘Hit’ with the fans. They’ll claim, they can’t please everyone and spin it.
I seriously can’t believe I’m giving this show an average rating. This was meant to be an event moment of the year.
Agreed.
My most anticipated movie of the year was The Batman.
My most anticipated live action show was Obi Wan.

Oh man. And imagine, Lucas took the full brunt as creator, writer,director and exec producer.
And he still powered through to make the films.
Can you imagine that kinda heat today!
And it was evil back then..
KK has scapegoats around to take some of the flak, and on top have come out fighting like a politician trying to spin stuff.
Which I don’t recall Lucas doing.
And today, it’s worse, cos look at the trail she’s leaving.
I always said, the Disney deal was a good thing, it gets harder to justify that.
But when they announced that ‘there would be a film every other year’, alarm bells should’ve been ringing.
We just gotta wait when KK leaves and see what happens.
Watching it tonight
Looking forward to the episode now after learning there are some real 'Star Wars' moments, and someone mentioning John Williams.
Overall, the episode would have to be the best thing I've ever set my eyes on for it to elevate the series above a 6.

I think Disney knew full well that Reva wasn't going to be a popular character and rightly so, she's an absolutely crap character. So they've played the race card and focussed on a tiny minority of racists on social media to distract from their shortcomings.

It's just more dirty tricks from Disney. Like how they clearly bribed critics to say that Last Jedi was a masterpiece.
Or how this show has an average critics score of 84% allegedly based on 272 critics. And yet we're only actually shown the reviews of two critics.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/obi_wan_kenobi/s01/reviews
Just more shadiness from the very shady organisation that is Disney
84? That's what in top 10 percentile of all shows ever?
Wow
For sure Boba has helped this show out a lot as it lowered the bar considerably since Mando - imagine the fall out if this came out right behind Mando and that Luke scene!
84%??
That’s some fraudulent shiiit!!!
Enjoyed the last episode, still have one big peeve with the show overall and another that personally doesn't bother me but can see why it would others.
Just frustrating that they're able to make stuff of this quality but fumbled it the whole way instead. As for the music, it was actually a baffling decision throughout the series to not use the iconic music. If they had any sense they'd go back and edit the relevant scenes.

Yup and for no good reason you can't see these 270 critics reviews that have lead to that average 84% score either. Disney clearly rigging these review sites as well now.
