Review by C.J. Bunce
Two episodes in and it seemed like some kind of con, a Jedi mind trick perpetrated by Disney. Six episodes in and you’re left asking “what was the point?” That’s the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which arrives as the least of the 21st century Star Wars television efforts, and after six episodes, probably falls short of Revenge of the Sith and The Last Jedi. Why was this an important story to tell? What entertainment value did it provide? In the end, the only thing the series served to do was give actor Hayden Christensen a chance to make up for George Lucas’s dismal script for Anakin Skywalker in the prequels. Other than that, it was like watching an assemblage of deleted scenes left on the director’s cutting room floor from the making of Revenge of the Sith.
