I really wanted to enjoy the show rather than nitpicking, but there is so much sloppiness that distracts my attention. So many things make no sense.
Why do the inquisitors know that kidnapping Leia would lure out Obi-Wan? Third Sister (Reva) says she found out a close relationship between Obi-Wan and Bail Organa, and then she kidnaps Leia? Why can she be so sure that Obi-Wan would come and rescue the little girl, without knowing how important Leia is really? It makes no sense.
Immediately after Reva questions Owen on the street, Obi-Wan comes out and say "thanks"?? Almost like saying "I'm here!" Conveniently, no one in the street is listening. Also why is Obi-Wan showing off his lightsaber when he boards the transport to leave Tatooine? He literally dug it up seconds before, so the audience doesn't need a reminder that he is carrying the lightsaber, thank you very much. Suddenly Obi-Wan thinks it's ok to keep his lightsaber dangling from his waist, after he was so paranoid about exposure? He even rejected another Jedi who came all the way to get his help, didn't he? It just makes no sense.
At the end of the second episode, Reva stands idle like an idiot as she watches Obi-Wan's cargoship take off? The series up to this point emphasizes Reva's tenacity to chase Obi-Wan, and she just lets him go like that? It makes zero sense.
At the end of episode three, why does Vader just let Obi-Wan leave the scene so easily, standing idle to watch a droid carry him away? After so many years of hunting? Not entirely clear if Vader had any better reasons than the petty wall of fire.
In episode five, Reva leads an embarrassing siege warfare on the rebel base. After a futile attempt of breaching the blast door with an underwhelmingly small siege gun, Reva simply cuts through the door with her lightsaber. Why on earth didn't you do that from the beginning? By any chance, have you ever watched Qui-gan cut through a blast door in Phantom Menace? That's the first thing any Star Wars fan would think of.
Also, I'm just tired of Disney portraying "strong women" one after another. I had a dry laugh when Beru suddenly turned into a warrior determined to stand and fight against Reva. What the hell?
To be fair, this show also had some great moments. Generally I liked the way Vader was presented in this show. The final duel of Obi-Wan and Vader was really good.
However, this show was tainted with sloppiness all over the place. They had a great material, to show how Obi-wan regained himself. I wish they had been more careful to do it justice.
