#ObiWanKenobi’s first episode is really surprising! I really enjoyed it in ways that I wasn’t expecting.

Some big character moments and surprising plot lines drive it to set up a really intriguing start. It feels like there’s still so much more to come. pic.twitter.com/7ZmGTRaJ6f

"Obi-Wan Kenobi... is good."

Obi-Wan Kenobi... is good. It's the rare example of modern SW leaning on continuity connections that make sense instead of emotional manipulation, and it's anchored in a truly incredible performance by Ewan McGregor as a broken, haunted man relearning who he is. I'm impressed! pic.twitter.com/ohIId777L3

Obi-Wan Kenobi is also extremely visually appealing to watch. Truly, Star Wars fans are in for a treat.

The first two episodes of #ObiWan are brilliant — surprisingly funny, an instantly iconic duo, and the second episode’s ending is pure hype. Very much feels like a movie split into six episodes, telling one big story. Ewan’s excellent. Star Wars fans are in for a treat
