Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022) is a six-episode limited series that follows the exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan as he is pulled out of quiet vigilance on Tatooine to rescue a young Leia Organa and confront the ghosts of his past. Set about a decade after Order 66, the story blends tense, character-driven drama with high-stakes action: Obi-Wan must evade relentless Imperial Inquisitors while facing his former apprentice, now the fearsome Darth Vader. Along the way the series explores grief, atonement, duty, and the moral cost of survival under the Empire. If you watch it, expect a mix of intimate, emotional moments and big Star Wars set pieces. The show alternates quiet, reflective scenes—Obi-Wan wrestling with guilt and responsibility—with pulse-pounding pursuits, lightsaber duels, and cinematic action. Longtime fans will find strong notes of nostalgia in the return of familiar characters, themes, and John Williams–style motifs, while newcomers can follow a self-contained rescue-and-redemption arc. The visuals are cinematic, performances are emotionally grounded, and the pacing balances suspenseful chase storytelling with quieter character beats. Overall it’s an emotionally charged, visually polished chapter in the Star Wars saga that centers on character and consequence as much as on spectacle.
