First up: I'm not a mega Star Wars fan. I enjoy it, have watched the movies and the recent series.
That places me bang in the middle of knowing the universe and caring, but not having the feeling that my childhood is being ruined. (I've gone through that with Star Trek, it's not fun.)
And I have enjoyed Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett so far.
But Kenobi I was quite excited about, being someone who started my Star Wars viewing in the new trilogy.
Sadly this just feels like a pointless, boring... well pointless series. Pointless is the word that springs to mind over and over again.
The major problem is that all the major characters in it, we know where they end up. Darth won't die. Ben won't die. Leia won't die. So it's just moving chess pieces around a board pointlessly.
I was hoping you'd seen Ben in exile, doing exile-y things (apart from a food production line). Just imagine they new stories they could have gold of anything of their choosing in this era.
Instead they seem to have put him right back into the centre of the story with the same core characters like no other story could possibly exist.
They took a core character and instead of expanding him and giving him life and story that was never achieved in the movies... they just did more of the same.
Even at six parts, I couldn't see it through. I know how ends, so what's the point?
