Continuity mistake: Obi-Wan Kenobi exposes Haja Estree. He asks for his help. When he hastily says "Yeah I'll do it!" Kumail Nanjiani's right hand is curled in a loose fist or fully opened, back and forth as camera angles switch. (00:08:25)

I watched this show on Disney +.
Man... I really had high hopes for this series. I should have known better with how modern Disney Star Wars is. But I really had high hopes.
Filling in some of the gap of what Kenobi's story was between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope? That could have been awesome if done right and handled with care.
But no, they dropped the ball on this. Granted it's not terrible... but having a show about Kenobi in this time of his life. And it's only "just OK " is very disappointing.
And it could have been so much more! From what I heard this was actually planned to be a trilogy of movies or a two full films. But they decided to mash it into a single season of TV with just 6 episodes. Given no room to breath, poor and shotty writing, some plot holes, some major lore breaking moments that are near unforgivable.
Yet still seeing Ewan McGregor back in this role once again is cathartic. And he still brings so much charm and energy to the part, even with a sub par script and series being written. There were a lot of cool moments in this show, along side all the stupid and dumb ones. In the end, while I'm tempted to give this a 2 star rating, the reality is I did think it was OK. I don't dislike the show but man is it disappointing. So I am conflicted. A 2.5 star would be more fitting.
You were the chosen one, Kenobi... but Disney has failed you... Disney has failed you.
Mistake Status: I will probably do more of the Star Wars shows in time. I had watched this prior to returning to the site.

Question: How can Obi-Wan believe that Anakin died after their fight on Mustafar? The movies make it clear that a Force-user can feel when a close friend or loved one is still alive, or is in pain. Yoda even sensed that Anakin was in "terrible pain" after Anakin turned, and Obi-Wan had a closer friendship with Anakin than he did.
Answer: He believed Anakin died. Anything he felt for him, he believed was just memories, sadness, and guilt for his friend. An emotional feeling filled with pain. Plus, Anakin did die. Only Darth Vader lived. A Sith Lord filled with hate and bitterness.
