I've tuned into the first four episodes of the #ObiWanKenobiSeries on #DisneyPlus, and I have a bold claim to make - Star Wars television series are surpassing the movies in quality. In my opinion, the movies tend to overwhelm viewers with a barrage of information, making it challenging for casual fans to grasp the characters, terminology, and overall plot. Conversely, the television series excel at breaking down complex elements, drawing viewers in with character development and engaging storylines that facilitate a deeper understanding of the Star Wars universe. Series like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been executed brilliantly, allowing audiences to connect with main and side characters on a more personal level. These shows have provided me with insights into characters like Luke and Leia, enhancing my comprehension of their backgrounds and motivations. Overall, the Star Wars television series are enriching the lore and expanding the universe in a way that the movies sometimes struggle to achieve. Exciting times for Star Wars fans!

Well, we have to give this credit for alienating the last of the Star Wars fanbase and turning Obi Wan into a pathetic loser who runs away from everything, gets outsmarted at every turn, and redefines words like "cowardliness." But, it also manages to replace Luke with his sister in Star Wars lore. ... Well, we have to give this credit for alienating the last of the Star Wars fanbase and turning Obi Wan into a pathetic loser who runs away from everything, gets outsmarted at every turn, and redefines words like "cowardliness." But, it also manages to replace Luke with his sister in Star Wars lore. But, let's face it, it wasn't made for Star Wars fans, it was made for the political left wing book burning goose steppers who want nothing more to see every fandom fail, especially those which have moral and upstanding heroic characters that fight against things like actual oppression that young people can look up to.

In spite of the title, the main character Obi Wan or "Ben", feels to me like a secondary player, in their own mini trilogy. Overridden and out classed by a precocious Princess Leia and readily intimidated by a relentlessly ambitious, inquisitor villain. All the while described as one of the "greatest Jedi". In my view this should have been played with the lead as someone with power who is reluctant to use it, given past tragedies. Instead, Obi Wan comes across as weak and bumbling. In terms of overall story, unlike The Mandalorian, this tale lacks pace and excitement. Its about Jedi but thus far there is no light sabre swash buckling and use of the force is downright anaemic. Special effects are excellent and this is a well produced series. Acting is predictably of a high calibre, given the strong casting. That said, in closing, what are we supposed to take away from this? Why no strong male lead characterisation? Why does the story not appear to be focused on Obi Wan? Suffice to say, after two insipid episodes, I'm pretty confident, I wont be back for a third.

The premise is fairly interesting, but the writing in the show in so unbalanced, that it pulled me out at times. There are so many times where character decisions are made simply due to plot progression that make not logical sense. This series is saved by the amazing performances by Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christianson/James Earl Jones as Anakin/Darth Vader. The broken-down version of Obi-Wan in this series is completely believable and I found myself invested in his redemption process. Darth Vader offers so many fan service moments of him being completely evil and brutal which offers much more enjoyment than the poor writing and plot development. **Verdict:** _Decent_
