"Last week, after seeing—witnessing, sitting through, tolerating?—Episode Four of Obi-Wan Kenobi, I wrote that the old man was lost in the desert," says Brady Langmann. "The endlessly hyped series, at that point, had told us nothing about its namesake, other than his fondness for prime cuts of space steak, and that Jedis' mid-life crises look a lot like ours, too. I wondered, with all the surely great minds over at Lucasfilm, if there was an original story cooking, somewhere. Turns out that there was a new story worth telling. But Obi-Wan Kenobi buried it inside a planet's worth of flashbacks, Easter eggs, and miscellaneous Star Wars bullsh***ery."

• In defense of Obi-Wan Kenobi's little Leia: "Social media has been quick to judge the tiny princess," says Alison Stine of Vivien Lyra Blair's character. "She's too mouthy. She's too smart. 'Too precocious, too clever for her age,' writes Forbes. I'm sensing lots of too muchness here for a female character. She doesn't behave like a 'real' kid, say critics. As a parent, let me tell you: the only thing not real about this child is that her hair mostly stays in place and she's not totally filthy. She's also classic Leia. This kid is a kid and she's canon.
