I like the Kenobi mini-series better than most Star Wars Fans. It tells part of the story of what Obi-Wan was doing between Episode III and Episode IV. In this series, a young Princess Leia is kidnapped, and Obi-Wan is recruited to rescue her.
It is seems that LucasFilm is incapable of creating shows and movies that are logically consistent with previous Star Wars movies and shows, or they simply don't care. However, the hardcore Star Wars fans get upset when something doesn't match up. The show has some logical problems, but I found the rest of the mini-series very entertaining.
Fans also complained about the character of Reva, saying that she is the main character in a show about Kenobi. However, this isn't true. Although Reva is a prominent secondary character, it is still Kenobi's show.
I like Ewan McGregor as Kenobi, and the guest appearance of Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader. Some fans complained that this entire series is just an excuse to see Kenobi and Vader fight again, which maybe it is, but the fight is very well done.
Rating: B
I would like to see a second season, but that may never happen given the negative reaction by some Star Was fans.
I think that Star Wars fans are hard to please. If anything doesn't match their expectations, they will say that the entire show is bad.
