Perhaps it is because I had low expectations, or it's because I've only seen two episodes and could see things getting potentially better... but I wouldn't agree that this is as bad as some of the other reviews I've read. I agree that the villain and Leia are annoying and that the chase sequences are lacking, but there are some ideas introduced that I find intriguing. That is enough for me to say at least that this is better than The Book of Boba Fett which I begrudgingly forced myself to get through until it became an extension of the Mandalorian. By the end of episode II we're are teased some interesting story directions.
They could still ruin it by then, and they probably will, but I'm not ready to judge it as a completely hopeless endeavor. BoBF had no purpose and story as far as I'm concerned, where as Obi Wan Kenobi at least has some conflict and drama to work with. That being said, if I never saw the remaining episodes, I wouldn't have any lingering regret.
