Retrospective on the making of the Obi-Wan Kenobi mini series

This documentary is a retrospective on the making of the Obi-Wan Kenobi mini-series. It features various archival footage, impressions of the main actors and directors, describes the importance of the series in the Star Wars universe. Actually, as befits a documentary.In the documentary there are new footage, as well as footage from the shooting, and archival footage, which is good. It's nice to observe the story told from the first person. The narrative is well written.However, it can not boast anything special, which may surprise. Just pleasant to watch, no more.As for special fans or just wanting to watch a documentary about the watched series - okay, but no more.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return

This was a nice little companion piece to the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney Plus series.It's not really a 'making of', that's a bit of false advertising, but it is very nice to hear Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansan talk about how much the saga/series means to them, and perhaps how they feel that the prequels have now been reappreciated by the fans after their mauling initially.Perhaps because the sequel trilogy was inconsistent at best!I couldn't care less though when supporting actors and the director start to parrot out such pleasantries though. Ultimately it's work for them either way.Fine enough.

making-of

It's a making-of documentary on the making of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the TV show. I did not agree with all the choices made in the TV show, but it is still nice to see these people talking about them. It's nice to see some of the old footages or simply watching the principles in front of the wrap-around screen. This doesn't go that deeply into the computer special effects although who wants to watch a bunch of nerds in front of their screens. It is funny that Ewan McGregor actually thought that he's going underwater. There is some fun with the practical stuff. It's always nice to hear from Alec Guinness. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I sensed that Ewan and Hayden Christensen almost let out something interesting. All in all, I actually like this a little better than the show itself.
