Disney Series - Obi-Wan Kenobi s1 (2022) [/]

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a 6-episode drama set after Episode 3. We start with Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) hiding out on Tatooine being a nondescript humble worker whilst keeping a distant eye on young Luke Skywalker.

A team of Inquisitors arrive hunting for a rogue Jedi (but not Kenobi). But whilst there one of the Inquisitor's, Reva Sevander (Moses Ingram), feels Kenobi's presence and she is in particular thirsty to have her revenge on Kenobi (for reasons revealed later in the series). But Kenobi remains unfound.

Meanwhile on Alderaan we see a young Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) being a headstrong kid and bit exasperating to her parents. Leia is kidnapped by some mercenaries and taken off-world. A desperate Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) calls Kenobi asking for help. Kenobi really doesn't want to because Luke is Kenobi's priority and maybe, after a decade, Kenobi is no longer all that much of a Jedi.

Still, eventually Kenobi agrees to look for Leia and travels off-world in search of her. All part Reva's plan to trap Kenobi...

This is a nice series to fill a bit of gap between Episodes 3 and 4. Later in the series we see an early Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) face off against Kenobi. We also see perhaps the beginning of the Rebellion forming.

It's a nice series and maybe only this one season.
