"Obi-Wan Kenobi," doesn't miss a beat in sticking one gut-punching emotional landing after another. Set 10 years after the ending of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith," (https://www.looper.com/438369/the-ending-of-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith-explained/) the series starts by following Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi (https://www.looper.com/670755/the-untold-truth-of-obi-wan-kenobi/) in a mundane routine of working at a meat packaging facility in Tatooine, passing his days by watching over Luke Skywalker from afar. In its entirety, the series carefully examines the heartaches and guilt that grief leaves behind while simultaneously digging into what it means to give oneself to a cause.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi" also fixes the questionable details within Star Wars lore by adding layers to most of the key players in the franchise like Luke, Leia, and even Darth Vader. As a series full of quiet moments intermingling with fierce lightsaber battles and explosions, director Deborah Chow places the absence of hope at the center by allowing the characters to take complete control of the story while highlighting little moments that equate to something bigger. While there are indeed plot holes (https://www.looper.com/920015/plot-holes-created-by-the-first-season-of-obi-wan-kenobi/), the emotional draw stems from the performances, showcasing what it truly means to remember the past while gearing up for a new purpose.
