Siskoid
A thing of parts, Obi-Wan Kenobi has a number of things going for it, including how well it withholds the lead's lightsaber and building to a climax we want to see (compare to Revenge of the Sith which is wall-to-wall lightsaber duels and therefore tiring and boring), but like Rogue One (except more so), its interstitial nature means there are a lot of foregone conclusions. We know what CAN'T happen, and that naturally undermines the tension, and being a sequel to the Prequels means I have to sit through Anakin flashbacks (I will never not have cognitive dissonance attacks thinking Anakin is under Vader's helmet). Since Luke is really off the board, it was a clever idea to match Ben with little Leia instead - they never meet in Episode IV - to show how feisty she already was at 10. It does give Obi-Wan: The Professional a certain feeling of déjà vu given that Mando also runs around with a minor. The best we could really get in terms of interest (in addition to the action) is an expansion of the Star Wars universe, which we get with a couple new planets, con men filling the vacuum left by the Jedi, and elite Jedi killers, including a villain who turns out to be more intriguing than she first appears. Watchable without being electrifying (Obi-Wan is too sad for that), it nevertheless gives you a cool final battle that gives closure to the Kenobi-Anakin relationship in preparation for what's to come.

An embarrassing fiasco for all the people involved in making this tripe.
