Critics Consensus

Ewan McGregor returns to the Star Wars fold with a wearier Obi-Wan, but this saga still feels vital in a premiere that cleverly plays on fan expectations.

The pleasures are solely those of reference and recognition. It's fine. It's just not enough. Go to Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle 09/02/2022
This show demonstrates all the ways the Star Wars universe can revisit familiar faces and places without feeling like a simple retread. Go to Full Review Victoria Luxford BBC.com 06/17/2022
4/5
An entertaining chase story that gives Ewan McGregor the chance to slip back into the role in a way that feels necessary. This isn't a prequel for the sake of it. Go to Full Review Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media 07/23/2023
While the series premiere is mostly quiet, deliberately slow in its pacing even when there’s action, it’s a stark reminder of the losses that have been endured by the titular character and how he’s headed towards the man we meet in A New Hope. Go to Full Review William Jones CBR 01/09/2023
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is proudly embracing The Last Jedi, making it the first Star Wars project to do so, and is all the better because of it. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 09/12/2022
