Obi-Wan Kenobi
Things I liked:
Ewan McGregor was everything I wanted and expected as Obi-Wan. He’s the main reason this was as successful as it was.
Vivien Lyra Blair was surprisingly not annoying as kid Leia. Indeed she even crossed over into “likable” territory with her sass and spirit. It was easy to see both Natalie Portman and Carrie Fisher’s portrayals in her performance, a testament to her acting ability.
The lightsaber fights.
The encounter between Obi-Wan and Vader after his helmet’s destroyed. So much history and emotion in those moments.
Things I didn’t like (Off the top of my head. This list would be a lot longer if I tried.):
Obi-Wan’s travel time to Tatooine in the final episode.
Obi-Wan leaving Darth Vader alive.
Darth Vader not realizing Obi-Wan was still alive after the avalanche.
All that time infiltrating the Inquisitors and Reva’s ultimate plan was a half-assed attempt to backstab Vader?
Two moisture farmers fought Reva to a standstill?
Reva, who must have done many dark things as an Inquisitor, can’t bring herself to kill a child?
A Star Destroyer can’t take out a commercial vessel?
Ice Cube Jr is a horrible planner.
Why cast Sung Kang if you’re not going to let him do anything cool?
Too many continuity errors between this and A New Hope to track. Example: Which dead mother was Leia referring to in Return of the Jedi? She was too young to remember Padme, and Breha Organa was definitely not sad.
This is a Youtube show - The only scene I’ll ever want to revisit (the final lightsaber duel) can be seen on Youtube. I doubt if I’ll ever watch any other part of it again.
Regret watching: No
Would watch again: No
Would buy on DVD: No
Rating: Fine
