We're seeing a trend here, as Metro (opens in new tab) gives Obi-Wan Kenobi another warm review - and a 4/5 score. It also noted that McGregor's return was a highlight, bringing new dimensions to Ben Kenobi without losing everything that made fans love him in the first place - like what happened to Boba Fett. To the point where it could have worked just as well as a movie. The Independent's (opens in new tab) review is just as positive, pointing out that Obi-Wan Kenobi's self-contained story gives it "more purpose" than other Star Wars shows. The review also throws some shade at The Book of Boba Fett, claiming that Obi-Wan Kenobi is a "welcome return to form" after the "misfiring" of Fett's divisive spin-off. Empire - 4/5Įmpire (opens in new tab) has given the show 4/5, declaring the show to be "a promising start" and prove it has a "solid understanding of its hero". Io9's recap (opens in new tab) of the first two episodes boldly proclaim that they are both "what they should be", and that the show is set to change out understanding of old Ben Kenobi and his years exiled in the wastes of Tatooine. The site then goes onto say that this should be the blueprint for Star Wars shows of its ilk that are on the way. GamesRadar (opens in new tab) gave the first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi 4.5/5, calling it "a mature, beautifully realized slice of Star Wars". Against that, it questions whether this show actually needed to be made at all, and only awards it 3/5 stars. It also reckons that "it works marvellously" when it leans into its main premise and praises the way that Ewan McGregor lets "his natural charisma seep through" his performance. On the plus side, it states that "the fight scenes are genuinely thrilling," and describes it as "a kind of intergalactic John Wick" - which, let's face it, is pretty high praise. The Guardian (opens in new tab) isn't quite so sure about it.
