Obi-Wan Kenobi

I love Obi-Wan in the prequels as much as the next guy but damn I just did t care about this show at all. I would go weeks without watching the newest episode simply because I forgot it even came out. It’s honestly a miracle I even watched the finale on release day.  There’s definitely things I do like, such as the final fight between Vader and Kenobi, seeing Vader just go nuts, the single clone, the Order 66 scene, and the Anakin and Obi-Wan flashback. But in the entire 6 episode series that was it. Now for things I don’t like, the slow pacing was fine in the first couple episodes but I don’t think it ever picked up… ever. Sometimes the choreography just sucked cock, like obi wan would just hold the lightsaber in front of him and the stormtroopers would shoot directly at it with no intention on actually hitting him. On top of that when Obi-Wan would actually start hitting stormtroopers with his lightsaber it would literally never chop through them. He would hit them 3 or 4 times and they’d fall over with zero dismemberment - that was fine in Fallen Order because it was a video game but it’s just stupid in live action. In the end I don’t hate Reva and I hope people leave the actress alone because it’s not her fault but I still think the character was poorly written at times but again that’s not the actresses fault it’s writing which this show does pretty poorly in all regards. The plot isn’t great but not necessarily horrible; I still think Leia being in this is dumb and I wish there was a better plot besides that because that is the only thing driving obi wan to do literally anything until Vader shows up.  Even though I just mostly complained for the entire review I don’t hate the show but I think it’s incredibly average, does nothing original or unique, and is extremely unnecessary for Star Wars and I’ll probably never watch this again but overall it’s not necessarily bad.
