Credit: LucasfilmThe end of Obi-Wan Kenobi is here, and the Star Wars universe will never be the same, but not every fan is pleased with how the series concluded.
Much of the Star Wars fan base is in awe after watching the sixth and final episode in the limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi, but that isn’t stopping some from wishing there was more.
With so many controversies surrounding story structures, pacing, character development, and the overall series, Kenobi was dealt a difficult hand from the start.
Nonetheless, with shorter than originally reported runtimes for individual episodes, including the finale (which was rumored to have a 1 hour 30-minute run), fans are wishing that there was more to this new Star Wars story:
I felt the rematch of the century was weak and rushed but after the fight I thought it was good seeing palpatine and qui gonthe hello there him meeting Luke but still the show focussed too much on reva and leia the force is female is true it will never be as good as George’s.

decent enough to never think about it again and move on. was nice filler content but thats about it. Vader scene was good. His voice was the best part.

after thinking on Kenobi, overall was a 7/10 for me btw
better than book of boba
just weirdly felt rushed, i hated the cinematography and music. if this were a 3 hour movie and had more creative environments it could have been a beautiful spectacle start to finish

Besides a few good moments, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a poorly written show. The dialogue felt flat and every emotional beat that should’ve hit, felt very underwhelming and rushed imo. What a waste of a story that could’ve been developed more if it had been a longer series.

Virtually every Star Wars fan agrees on one thing: there needs to be more Kenobi.
While The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm have remained quiet on whether or not Obi-Wan Kenobi will receive a second season, the finale of the limited series perfectly sets up another story to be told, this time of Ben Kenobi training with Qui-Gon Jinn and Reva’s (Moses Ingram) road to redemption.
In no way does this article exist to belittle the work of Deborah Chow and that of Lucasfilm, but rather to share the idea that there are more stories to be told, especially with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen both being on board for more adventures in the Skywalker saga.

The world of George Lucas is hungry for more Prequel Trilogy content, and the stars behind them are ready to deliver.
With calls for a second season, it’s only time for fans to discover if episode six of Obi-Wan Kenobi was the conclusion to this beloved story.
