Part 2/15:
Throughout, there's a recurring theme: Obi-Wan was a missed opportunity. The series is criticized for its lack of direction, reliance on fan service, and character arcs that feel hollow. The skeptics note how Obi-Wan's supposed recovery happens through contrived scenes — like a forced Qui-Gon appearance that feels tacked-on and underwhelming.
One host laments how the entire plot revolves around characters making nonsensical decisions, such as Leia acting like an increditably capable rebel despite being a child, or Obi-Wan repeatedly failing at vital tasks, only to be rescued at the last second. The show’s portrayal of Vader as a looming, unstoppable force is questioned, especially due to inconsistent power levels and poor choreography that looks more amateurish than epic.
