- TriviaDespite having retired from composing anything Star Wars related after the Sequel Trilogy ended, John Williams contacted Kathleen Kennedy and requested to write something for this show, simply because Obi-Wan Kenobi has never had a character theme of his own before, and Williams wanted to write one for him.
- GoofsOwen and Beru live another 8-10 years (depending on backstory sources) on Tatooine till the events of 'A New Hope'. Where they appear to have aged much. It's as if Luke became more 'stressful' for them to bring up (causing them to age more).
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening credits, the letter I in "OBI-WAN KENOBI" is shaped like Obi-Wan's lightsaber.

Featured review
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Kennedy the unwise?
My problems with Disney Star Wars stem primarily from one person - Kathleen Kennedy.
I'm guessing some of you have heard that the original script for this show was scrapped because it was too 'bleak.' And that baffles me. This is supposed to be the most depressing time in Star Wars history and she didn't want it to be too downbeat. Give me a break. The original writer also shared that his script was related to Job in the bible. He loses everything, but he remains faithful. To me, that sounds like an intriguing premise, and it fits perfectly with Kenobi's character at this point in his life. We get flashes of Obi Wan being in a broken state, but they're brief.
We instead got 4 episodes of a little girl getting rescued. Don't even get me started on the chase scene. Oh yeah and frequent nonsensical breaking of the canon. And then we have Reva. She was pointless. The Second Sister in Fallen Order was miles better. And guess what? She was also a woman of color. The difference is she had good writing!!
Another thing that really ticks me off - Kathleen Kennedy said that there shouldn't be authentic John Williams Star Wars music in the 3rd episode because it would feel too cinematic. What the actual f? Too cinematic?? We finally got authentic music, but only in the last episode. I just can't fathom the ideas this woman has. I am not in any way cut out to be the president of Lucasfilm, but you're telling me there is no one better than this woman?
I mostly enjoyed everything with Kenobi and Vader, and that's really the only reason to watch this show.
I know there are some who really enjoyed this show and that's perfectly fine! I enjoyed enough of it too. But what i want is a Star Wars story written by someone who cares. Not by someone who wants to check boxes.
That's my rant for the day.
