We’re halfway at this point. I didn’t realize it was only 6 episodes. I am a bit surprised at the positive feedback here, as I align more with the below I think.

I’m just not feeling it, guys. I had a little hope that the first two episodes were just a rocky start, but this latest one has me feeling pretty gloomy about the whole affair. We’re halfway through a six-episode limited-run series and it’s just deeply mediocre in just about every way. Nothing important has happened. Beyond just the basic problem with prequels (we already know when and how Obi-Wan, Darth Vader and Leia die!) it’s just not a very good TV show on a basic, fundamental level.

the fact of the matter is Obi-Wan just kind of sucks right now. In A New Hope he had no problem Jedi Mind-Tricking a Stormtrooper. Here he’s basically a stuttering fool, agape at any new obstacle. A drone shows up and instead of blasting it straight away or Mind-Tricking the Stormtroopers into not calling it to begin with, he let’s it scan him and then shoots it. QUICK THINKING BEN.

There’s a lot of Very Serious Grumbling that goes on between these two and the other Inquisitors. Lots of jockeying for position and so forth. It’s all just extremely generic and cringey. I want these Inquisitors to stop being Very Evil around one another and go be badass Jedi hunters . . . who don’t lose their quarry when he topples an awning on them.
The Inquisitors have shown up in other Star Wars shows—Rebels, for instance—and in the video games—Fallen Order—and they’ve always been frightening badasses. These Inquisitors are clowns.
