I've been over Star Wars lately with the newest movies having taken the joy out of the franchise to the point I wasn't even interested in The Mandalorean. Having McGregor back as Obi Wan managed to pique me interest in this series and after 3 episodes I am invested despite remaining skeptical. Obi Wan shares some of the problems of new Star Wars with everything being based around the Skywalkers making the universe feel small and a need to fill in every past plot hole taking away from original storytelling. I am however enjoying the very personal nature of the story, allowing McGregor's acting to be shown off, and that this takes place during a very interesting time when the Empire is at its peak giving a different perspective than what Rebels provided.
