	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"A solid bridge between trilogies, with a bonus origin story for even the most casual ‘Star Wars’ fans"	POS
United Kingdom	Stuart Heritage The Guardian	"Did it need to be made? No. Is its existence a sign of creative exhaustion? Probably. But does it make the best of its thankless job? Happily, yes it does (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"'Obi-Wan Kenobi' shares with all other Star Wars stories a taste for creating new worlds, and does a better job of it than many (...) One of the more complex character studies ever seen in the franchise."	POS
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Empire	"A promising start, this shows a solid understanding of its hero and hints at an exciting new adventure in those missing decades of his life. It’s a very welcome return to form after the misfiring 'Boba Fett.' (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"'Kenobi' feels more like old-school “Star Wars” than its Disney+ predecessors (...) McGregor fashions a Kenobi we haven't seen before (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Dominic Patten Deadline	"Lacking the charm of 'The Mandalorian' and embracing the hackneyed efforts of 'The Book of Boba Fett', the adrift Obi-Wan Kenobi plays way too coy and cute to be taken seriously"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"The Disney+ series presents subscribers what feels like a wonderful distraction, no Jedi mind tricks required (...) the Force is still very much with 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'"	POS
United States	Terry Terrones Paste Magazine	"This isn’t the Obi-Wan Kenobi you’re looking for. This one is better (...) Obi-Wan Kenobi is much more complex than initially believed, but in a good way."	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Style, action, and some fan-pleasing ideas make the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi worth the wait (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Uses nostalgia like a weighted blanket: surrounding you with characters you already love, warming you with an uncomplicated quest, and inviting you to lay still, sans complaints, in order to appreciate what little time you have left with Obi-Wan"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Obi-Wan’s reawakening is a strong enough hook to pull the viewer through the parts of the show that don’t work quite as well."	NEU
United States	Megan Crouse Den of Geek	"Fun character dynamics, solid motivations, and Prequel nostalgia make the Obi-Wan Kenobi series a Star Wars treat."	POS
United States	Matt Purslow IGN	"This is a show with lightsabers and blasters from its very first moments - but it’s combined with what feels, at least so far, like the most well-balanced Star Wars story for quite some time."	POS
