Yvngxbull813 G A Great Addition to the Star Wars Saga I really enjoyed the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. It does a great job diving into what happens after Revenge of the Sith and answered a lot of questions I’ve always had. Seeing Obi-Wan deal with the aftermath of everything he lost and figuring out his role in protecting the future was done really well. One thing I wasn’t expecting but really appreciated was getting to see more of a young Princess Leia. The show gave us a glimpse into what her life was like growing up as an Organa and some of the challenges she faced. It was a nice touch that added more depth to her story. And let’s talk about Darth Vader—those encounters between him and Obi-Wan were some of the best moments of the series. As a Star Wars fan, it’s always a joy to see more of Vader, and this series did an awesome job showing both his raw power and the conflict underneath. Overall, the series hit the right notes for me. The action, the story, and the way it connects to the bigger Star Wars timeline were all on point. If you’re a fan, this is something you shouldn’t miss. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Jeanine A Not very exciting. Not much humor, or not so funny humor. Ewan McGregor was great, but he had poor lines. Boring dialogue Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Hands down the worst of all Star Wars series. It's got about as much depth and flavor as diet tofu. The writing is lame. The acting is awful. The directing is nauseating. And the fight sequences are weak and pathetic. Chow says she wanted to tell "her" story. What? The only good thing about this trainwreck is that it mercifully ends in one season. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Tony S could have been better. Ewan did a decent job. Writers need to be fired. gotta cancel Disney+ Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Audience Member I found myself complaining throughout the series. It’s hard to enjoy something when you’re frequently annoyed and confused with every other scene. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Simon O An amazing star wars experience! Diving deeper into the lore! Featuring more of star wars best characters and impressive visual effects and battles! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
