Episodes 1 and 2 of Obi Wan in the books for me, and I loved both. Will likely not want this show to end.
Me, too. This was really good.

I was disappointed tbh, but I was really really looking forward to it. Hoping for more as we move in.Watched both this morning. They are alright, just setting things up I guess. I’m also really bad at setting too high of expectations.
When does the next episode come out?
Wife and I just watched Oni-Wan. Leia can either die or shut the **** up. Spoiled brat *****.
Ewen McGregor makes the show
This is where I'm at. These first 2 episodes are definitely setup. Ewan is fantastic. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!I thought it was great! The action is lacking in the first 2 episodes, but the storytelling is well done and Ewan's portrayal of Obi-Wan is so good it's not a big deal IMO. Child acting is tough, so I'm not going to bag on that aspect of it too much. They are setting it up for some epic stuff to happen on the back end of this series.
How the hell can trained henchman not catch a ten year old girl who can not run? Even clever editing could not hide the fact that even for a ten year old this kid has no moves. The story is great, but they are trying to push the cute factor too much. It’s like no one ever realized that ESB, the darkest of the first trilogy, was the best Star Wars. They keep pushing the Ewoks on us.
I liked it but there are a few things that keep it from being great so far.
Loved the first two episodes. I was a bit concerned that they were going to do the episodic format like Mando as that was getting played out, but it seems this will have one larger plot for the whole season.
I was a bit surprised that they'd kill off the Grand Inquisitor so early. I thought he'd have a bigger role based on the importance of the character.

Assuming that the Grand Inquisitor is not dead or they'd be completely retconning Rebels that takes place after this series. He looked dead, but... Maul was cut in half and the Emperor thrown overboard and each lived. Ewen McGregor is the best thing out of the prequels, so I'm happy to be seeing more of him. Little Leia is a bit much, but so is older Leia so I'm fine with it.
The 80s? Wow, you were way ahead of the curve if you were streaming stuff in the 90's and 00's. At least there's no commercials. I personally don't mind it, but I never binge watch anything anyways.I hate these streaming services dribbling out these episode every week or so. It's like watching network tv in the eighties. The whole point of these streaming services, in my humble opinion, is to release the entire series so I can binge watch them together and not need a recap every week or so. I refuse to watch the first two episodes until the entire series is available.
Streaming services quickly realizing they can’t just dump the entire show at once because of binging. Netflix saw what happened with that and are paying the price when everyone else got in the game on streaming. People would only pay that single month to watch the show then cancel until the next show they really wanted to watch. Then do it all over. I love streaming but anyone who thought these big companies would be any different from any other corporation was lying to themselves. Making as much money as possible is the only goal for them, so they will weasel around to suck every dime.I hate these streaming services dribbling out these episode every week or so.
