Online statements and controversies have burst open on Twitter and social media after countless Star Wars fans shared that the advertising for the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series on Disney+ doesn’t align with the actuality of the series.
With the absence of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and fan theories not coming true (yet?), Kenobi is in a downhill whirlwind with ratings:
#ObiWanKenobi E4 has a 6.5 on IMDb
The lowest rated episode yet

Scoring just a tenth of a point higher than The Book of Boba Fett’s controversial episode three, The Streets of Mos Espa, which featured the infamous “biker gang” chase sequence, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s fourth installment has landed a 6.5/10 rating on IMDb — one of the lowest Star Wars ratings in history.

Now, fans are beginning to fear that the last two episodes of Kenobi can’t check off enough boxes to ensure that the series is legendary and does Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen proper justice:
The show, SO FAR, as been very underwhelming for what it should’ve and could’ve been. Not necessarily bad, just very underwhelming

The episode was literally the same quality with the same issues previous episodes has, seems weird to be hated the most

Another fan shares:
I do think 5 and 6 will be the longest episodes one thing I will say is just give more time for Kenobi and Vader….Reva character has had way too much time on the show already. I like Moses performance so far but now we need to see more flashbacks and Hayden.

This isn’t a statement of hate towards Obi-Wan Kenobi, not at all. Not every Star Wars fan dislikes the series. Many look forward to what lies ahead for Ben Kenobi’s return to the Force and Darth Vader’s episodic confrontation against his old Jedi Master.
