- TriviaDespite having retired from composing anything Star Wars related after the Sequel Trilogy ended, John Williams contacted Kathleen Kennedy and requested to write something for this show, simply because Obi-Wan Kenobi has never had a character theme of his own before, and Williams wanted to write one for him.
- GoofsOwen and Beru live another 8-10 years (depending on backstory sources) on Tatooine till the events of 'A New Hope'. Where they appear to have aged much. It's as if Luke became more 'stressful' for them to bring up (causing them to age more).
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening credits, the letter I in "OBI-WAN KENOBI" is shaped like Obi-Wan's lightsaber.

Featured review
Hold On - I Watched All 6 Episodes
I waited until all of the episodes were released before passing a final judgement on this. I can say I'm glad I did, as the first couple episodes were 3/10 stars for a tv show with the latter being more toward a 7/10.
With that said, I'm trying rate this show as a whole. Would I recommend it to anyone? Would I watch it again?
It's hard to slap a number on this. I did like it more than the recent film trilogy despite it being very campy at times (tbh I'm not entirely sure if that was at all intended, which make some moments even more hilarious) with a weak and noticeable production value that did take a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me.
Reva's arc was a classic Star Wars story that actually justifies its existence in the end, even if it does it poorly. Why it was such a centerpiece in a show titled Kenobi... I dunno. Honestly I think this show would have received much less backlash if it was simply titled something else.
Taking everything into consideration, would I recommend it to anyone? I would recommend it to anyone that loved the prequels. I do think it falls out of purview for mostly anyone else though.
Would I watch it again?
Yes, I will rewatch a few of the episodes just for some of Vader's sequences, as much as I don't want to admit it. The last few episodes focus more on the relationship between 'Ben' Kenobi and Anakin, which in turn give us a better transition of Anakin to Vader than the films did alone.
This show is dumb, light hearted and sometimes heavy. It's a very true to form Star Wars story with the exception of having poorer production and slightly lesser quality in writing, and if you can laugh at the scenes where the child outruns bounty hunters by walking, you'll get some enjoyment out of this.
If you wanted a purely serious tv series based on Kenobi like I did, you won't get that. But maybe you'll find something passable in the meantime.
6/10.
