Where is the writing talent today?

Top of the line actors, sets, and special effects. But, that's pretty much where the good of the series ends. The writing appears to have been completed in a middle school lunch room.I just don't understand what is happening with this programming. There seem to be basic concepts of writing that are violated in a number of recent high-end productions. For instance (and probably the greatest consistent sin) is that you CAN'T put a character's life in jeopardy if the audience knows that the character survives. It deflates the scenes of any tension at all.Top that off with a director who clearly does not direct action in any way, and you have loud noises, flashy lights and a lot of yawns from the audience. Wide shots of a child running from adults who just "run into" clearly visible objects and then fall over? That's why God created quick-cuts, my friend. Hide those horrible shots if you have to. So whether the fault is the directors or the editors, it is terribly executed.And yes, we all "get it." Young females can be "tough." I think that you beat that dead horse about every six minutes. Seriously. It's such a heavy handed message that you find yourself rooting for the empire.I'm a big fan of Clone Wars/Rebels, so I love the Third Sister, although that writing was so "on the nose" that she might as well have been a cartoon character. There is no subtlety for the actor to work with.Congrats to Disney, I guess, who've now managed to screw up both Solo and Kenobi. Just sad that they can't do better than this. And it goes to show that money can't buy everything.

Ewan McGregor makes this worth watching

Obi-Wan Kenobi may not the best thing from Star Wars that I've seen but it's still worth watching. Ewan McGregor is a great actor and one of the best parts of the prequel trilogy. I was really looking forward to this when I first read about it and the even more so after I saw the trailers. It did not disappoint! I don't consider myself a huge Star Wars fan but I normal fan who does enjoy most of them. I really liked The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett was worth watching. I don't understand most of these negative reviews, it's like most of the people writing them didn't want to enjoy them. If you saw him in the prequels and saw the trailers what were you expecting that you didn't get? Anyway, if you're a fan of Star Wars I definitely recommend you give this a try.
