Winter TV Finales - Obi-Wan Kenobi - miniseries

Obi-Wan Kenobi is the latest Disney+/Star Wars streaming miniseries.

Starring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, reprising his role from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. 

Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), the series follows Kenobi as he sets out to rescue the kidnapped Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from the Galactic Empire, leading to a confrontation with his former apprentice Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).

The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered on late May, with the subsequent four episodes release weekly until today. 

Ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, in which the Jedi were destroyed by Order 66 and Obi-Wan Kenobi's apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, became the Sith Lord Darth Vader—Kenobi is in hiding on the planet Tatooine, watching over Anakin's son, Luke, when he is called on a mission to rescue Anakin's daughter, Leia, after she is kidnapped by the Galactic Empire's Jedi-hunting Inquisitors in a plot to draw Kenobi out.

This leads to a confrontation between Kenobi and Vader.

I think I enjoyed this loads more than the recent The Book of Boba Fett miniseries. The six episodes sped by in roughly five weeks.

Disney+ have loads of TV out right now. With Love, Victor on my watch list right now, Ms Marvel around halfway through its run with more Star Wars series on the way.

Obi-Wan Kenobi filled in some very big blanks between Star Wars films. McGregor shines as the lead. If you need something to stay warm with under the blanket this winter, maybe give this Disney+ a go.
