It was a weird combination of the character assassination from TLJ and the nonsensical plot twists from RoS. Honestly, I loved Rogue One, but I’ve given up on SW at this point. I waited my entire adult life to finally see my childhood hero be the master Jedi, and what I got was the humiliation of watching him milk a space lizard like a cow and then down the green jizz with a spiteful stare into the camera like, “what? You want more? I can make you wish you never watched Star Wars.” so after that, I really am numb to this stuff.
Yeah watched it, yeah it didn’t suck it blew, it was terrible, the acting, the writing, the so called story…the anti-women assault in all the episodes (you are just a brain washed stan if you think the only way to make women seem awesome is to make sure every male in the universe is an inept fool you are anti-women period). The massive plot holes it opened, the way it claims to resolve non plotholes that already had answer in the original media. Lets see ruined Leia, ruined Vader, ruined ObiWan – hid behind calling everybody racist even though Reva was the least of the shows problems. Lets see cheap special effects, making ObiWan seem like a creepy groomer…I could go on but I have a life….just know the show was beyond terrible and you are a clown for defending it.
Mir’osik neckbearded toxic fans that think they know Star Wars better. Hey all had a script in their heads that the show deviated from so now they’re all shebs’aalar
The show never got past that “made for SyFy Network” feel. It literally had that level of production quality to it. I don’t know if it bombed, but it certainly didn’t rise up to expectations. Disney is a multi billion dollar corporation so you’d think the show’s production level would reflect that. The contradictory storyline didn’t help either. Why can’t the writers stay within bounds of canon? This new age culture has to change everything around, and I do mean EVERYTHING. Past history means absolutely nothing to them.
The writers literally admitted to not having seen the movies & animated series.
Obi Wan saw the footage of Anakin slaughtering younglings AND BOWING BEFORE DARTH SIDIOUS at the end of Ep. III. This entire show’s conception goes directly against basic cannon. Idk how Disney could possibly do worse, but they never cease to surprise 🙂
It was a great show and, even for an original fan who saw the first film in the drive through in 1978 and has watched everything they’ve done, I would say the season finale is some of the best Star Wars ever, period. Some of the best live-action lightsaber battling ever. Peak Vader. Amazing little Leia. So much good stuff, and so little patience for the haters.
Some people just want to complain no matter what, and it is why Star Wars fans have such a bad rep for being whiny nerds obsessing about unimportant details while missing out on the opportunity to enjoy the ride. It is Star Wars, not Shakespeare… just enjoy it, or move along already.
So true. Biggest group of babies ever!! They think whining will somehow reverse a 4bil$ transaction. Why can’t they just be glad their beloved franchise is still going strong (or, in their opinion, weak)? I’m a huge Godzilla fan and am not loving the newest films, but I was born in ’97 and never got to see a Godzilla film in theaters until 2019’s KOTM. I’m grateful my favorite franchise won’t die any time soon, and that should be good enough for bratty star wars fans.
You can say that with virtually every Godzilla film being trash after gojira. It never had towering heights achieved and you are a zoomer that hasn’t experienced much. Some day you will find yourself on the bratty star wars fan’s side of the fence about something. It is inevitable. Unless you are the type that doesn’t have standards and likes everything. Then you deserve all the crap you will receive from it.
If someone else’s opinion ruins something for you, then you are obviously a far bigger baby than that person. Why would you ever come onto the internet if you’re so easily butt hurt??
Yes, its been the fans putting out bad media for the last decade, all those terrible fan films crapping on cannon and a beloved franchise and its heros have ruined Star Wars, it clearly hasnt been agenda driven drivel being pumped out by the giant hypocrites over at Disney that only care to make edits to your taste if you are a member of the CCP, being in bed with one of the most racist regimes in the world while calling their fan base racist for pointing out they made a crap product.
One you claim to be an older fan but then call it a drive through and not a drive in theater it pretty quickly exposes you as a gen Z schill, nice try though.
It’s called sellers remorse. He obviously didn’t know they were going to destroy it when he sold it to them. He’s literally compared it to selling your children to white slavers…
Also, in regards to a trust: “a large company that has or attempts to gain monopolistic control of a market”
That is NOT Disney. Why? Because they now own marvel and star wars? Please. That’s gaining a hold on the market, not eliminating competition.
If they weren’t broken up after buying Fox they aren’t going to be. They aren’t even the largest film studio in Hollywood. Or at the very least JUST became so ahead of Warner. You don’t have to worry about Disney breaking up any time soon. Not happening, they don’t have a monopoly in anything
No. I hated this series. The writing was incongruous with the OT and the Prequels, which made it feel like the character assassination done to Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. The timing of events in this series is just ludicrous. In 10 years, Obi-wan forgets how to be a Jedi and then poof! He’s OP and owning Vader like his personal ragdoll? How is Reva chasing Luke on Tattooine at the same time Obi-wan is on the refugee ship? Are there no tie fighters on Vader’s star destroyer? This is TLJ idiotic chase contrivance all over again. The choreography was the worst part of this series. Just awful. Acting was fine. I would rather have seen a Reva solo series and left Obi-wan and the kids out of it. The final confrontation between Vader and Kenobi WAS cool, but ot just makes no sense being only 9 years before ANH. I continue to be baffled that Disney spends so much $$$ on these shows yet they are so painfully uneven. I understand a show being “for kids,” but there are hundreds of examples of Disney shows made for kids that aren’t so braindead, for example Aladdin (1992), Tangled (2010), Rogue One (2016), Phineas and Ferb, etc. There’s at least one scene in each episode of Obi-Wan that is objectively horrible, like an embarrassing low point in cinema (e. g., knocking out a stormtrooper with a face slap, or child Leia outrunning groan men actively trying not to catch her).
Star Wars has always had women and non-white actors your ignorant nitwit. The difference was there was a time they were well written and engaging, that time passed about the time they gave KK the helm.
Yeah, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams and Samuel Jackson are three of the most popular actors associated with the franchise. It has nothing to do with that. Lmao
Who cares what the cancel culture thinks. These tweets are silly. It’s a perfect series. It sucks bring back George. It felt rushed. This should have been a movie and it would have made a billion dollars. All we have learned from the pandemic is that everyone in America thinks they have a voice that needs to be heard. In real life, nobody cares what Steve from Any State USA has to say.
From beginning to end……..there were good and bad parts, as in any movie/series.
No matter what any franchise produce there will always be the Nick pickers, the “I hated it” brigades. On the plus side there’s always the “ I loved it” brigade.
As for myself I enjoyed it, not exactly what I expected, but none the less it was enjoyable. I loved the ending, when Qui-Gon appeared, but then I’m a bit biased as I love Qui-Gon.
The one thing I feel was miss placed was the iconic “Hello there”. I know some people won’t agree with me, maybe some will. It felt bland, with no meaning or comedic intones.
Just feel there could have been a better situation created for Obi-Wan to say his iconic line.
Something in the same vain as, the scene in the clone wars where Obi-Wan drops from a high spot in front of Grievous and says “ Hello there”!
Maybe I’m asking for too much, perhaps I am……just my thoughts, I don’t mind comments, but please be respectful….thank you.
Star wars is just content for Disney plus now. They will vomit out as much as they can as quickly as possible. If they’re lucky they’ll have a surprise hit here or there but if not, no one at Disney is going to care. All they want is lots of stuff for thier subscribers to scroll through. So expect more lazy slop from people who literally could not care less about Star Wars.
We need to stop looking at each show as an isolated thing. Disney is releasing 1 “show” at a time. They have different names and focus on different characters or time periods, but they’re all in the same universe.
So I just look at each new series as another chunk of a bigger show called “Star Wars”
Just cause they only committed to 6 episodes of kenobi and left some threads loose, doesn’t mean they won’t pick up a few threads in Andor or Ahsoka or some other show.
I viewed the book of Boba Fett as just another season of the Mandalorian.
PS
George Lucas needs to stay away from Star Wars. I dont really care what he thinks of any of the new material. He screwed up with the prequels and if he wanted to complete his vision he should have done it 20 years ago, but he futzed around with specual editions and other crap. A big franchise like that can’t be just one man’s vision. He lost control of the property when he decised to take his merry ole time…
Plus! he sold it. He got his money and He’s got no more rights to an opinion than any other fan anymore.
How would you feel if you bought a house and the people that used to live there show up every few months to tell you they don’t like your choice if blinds and they never intended for there to be Shrubs on the east side of the lawn?
“the prequels are masterpieces and if you’re not loyal to Lucas, you’re not a real Star Wars fan” …
Wrong. I was 6 when the OT came out. Saw each of them in the theater. The prequels were terrible in just about ever conceivable way. Those movies are what happens when you have too many ‘yes men’ in the room.
Well said! Lucas was the one who made the mess that was the PT. And he was the one who sold to Disney! So saying that he is more important than others is not quite correct. He WAS important, but now, not so much!
“Controversial”
Come on mate. Stop spouting crap. The series was phenomenonal and the only people who don’t agree are a small minority who have already decided that they hate Disney Star Wars
I’m no Disney fan but I have enjoyed the Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett and ObiWan Kenobi. So many whiners among Star Wars fans. Always whining. I loved the last ObiWan episode! Great job! I’m 61 years old and Iwas there for the start. Now it all feels complete!
Lots of different views here, as someone who was a big fan of the OT and the original expanded universe I found Obi-wan disappointing and unoriginal at best. The prequels were disappointing for me as a Star Wars fan and the sequels even worse. The only content I’ve enjoyed has been Rogue One, Han Solo, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Because none of those completely messed up continuity or used the same stupid plot again. Obi-wan did the Leia gets captured put in prison, interrogated, rescued but with a tracker put on the ship leading to the rebels, just like A New Hope. As others have also mentioned somehow Obi-wan has forgotten how to be a Jedi after 10 years, BS… A Star Destroyer that somehow is unable to destroy a simple transport ship after what seems like over an hour, BS… The show was easily the worst yet of the series. I’m not faulting the actors, they tried, but just like the writing in sequels and even the prequels (“Hold me Anakin, hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo”) they can’t fix bad writing. Most of you trying to defend these are kids (under 25) who don’t remember good writing in Star Wars, but some ofnus do and are willing to hold higher standards.
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Did you even see Revenge of the Sith?? He had a trauma from trying to kill Anakin and seeing most jedi die. Then he didn’t use the force for 10 years. Why is this so difficult to understand??
I loved it! This show was the best Star Wars since Empire in 1980. It helped Episode 3 connect to Episode 4 in a way that made sense! I enjoyed seeing the effects of what happened to the Jedi and seeing Hayden Christensen was Anakin/Darth Vader once more was awesome! I am sick of the people that claim to be Star Wars but hate Star Wars!

No but really, won’t be long now till somebody drops a comment about how wonderful Kenobi was and how everyone liked it…
Apparently it sucked, even more so than Rise of Skywalker and that’s saying a lot!
