Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi just wrapped it’s first, and please god hopefully it’s only, season. I like Star Wars filling in the gaps between RotS and ANH and Obi-Wan Kenobi fills in so many gaps. Set 10 years after the fall of the Jedi and the birth of the Empire we get to see a lot of the transitional moments between the Empire at the end of III and the start of IV. A lot could still happen in the next 9 years between the end of Kenobi and the start of ANH. It has been such a delight to have Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan but to have Hayden Christensen back as Anakin/Vader as well has made it all so surreal. A few months ago my childhood came full circle meeting the Clone Wars voice actors but this show has widened that circle putting these two together again. I absolutely loved Moses Ingram as Reva, I thought she did a fantastic job, and it really shows in the finale. What also shows, is that we really need a break down of how the Inquisitor numbering system works (and is the Grand Inquisitor also the 1st Brother?). Vivian Lyra Blair is a truly gifted child actor who strikes a near uncanny resemblance to Carrie Fisher. I think Fisher would be so proud of this young woman. Sung Kang and Rupert Friend might not have been the best choices for the 5th Brother and the Grand Inquisitor but they did okay with their limited screen time. To hear James Earl Jones’s voice as Vader again has been so great. Kumail Nanjiani, Flea, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Indira Varma have such great characters that I would love to see explored some more in the future. Jimmy Smits, Joel Edgerton, and Bonnie Piesse get to expand on their beloved characters so much more. I will accept any new Order 66 moments we get, and I thank Disney for continuing to expand on that horrific day. I was very excited to see Natalie Holt’s name as the composer, and while the score isn’t as great as Loki, it had some great moments alongside John Williams’s return to Star Wars. I thought Debra Chow did a phenomenal job with this show and bridging two Star Wars eras. Despite a few hiccups here and there this show reminds us what Star Wars can be and the stories it can tell. I’m giving Obi-Wan Kenobi a big 9/10! -Tyler.
