Latest episode: very poor production value, and it just felt like a filler episode.
The bit where Leia is under Kenobi's coat was ridiculous even for star wars.

I'm liking a lot of things about this series but as that guy above said production quality is a bit ropey at times
Obi lightsabre bits are good, but parts on the landing platform with the speeders was terrible terrible terrible,
shame they reused so much from Fallen Order but I guess most fans wont have seen that so its fair use i suppose?

The writing is just very poor. Although the direction isn't great either.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Writer Appears To Be Oblivious Of Revenge Of The Sith, Has No Clue Kenobi Knew Anakin Was Darth Vader
Obi-Wan Kenobi writer Joby Harold recently discussed the latest Disney+ Star Wars show and appeared to reveal that he had no idea that Kenobi knew that Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.

I'm just waiting for the young Rick Astley cameo as Cal Kestis.

I suppose I expected given the bigger names that this series would be markedly better than what has come previously either through more delicate writing or production values. Nope, it’s just the same formula which is fine if that’s your thing… but it’s not mine.
Well, it answered one question. That being wtf are those pen things on Imperial officers uniforms, basically usb identity\credential holders.
And we actually seen a Storm Trooper get hit with a blaster shot and not die, well until the second hit. Seems the armor does have some incredibly limited uses.

That's one thing that ****** me off about streaming series, the view time varies a lot to say the least. Not unusual to have episodes being almost an hour long and others barely scraping by the half hour mark.

It really badly needs some actual Star Wars music.
Yep very annoying. I might be imagining it but maybe it's all Disney+ marvel and star wars shows that are guilty of this. A 5 even 10 min fluctuation every now and then is fine (better than filler content), but I'm sure if I looked back there is probably 20-30 min differences in episodes of the same show in the same season.
Listen closely, I'm sure I heard some in multiple parts of today's episode.
Edit: went back and checked. Today's episode 30mins 32secs long.

i knew it felt short, didnt look at timer myself while watching
Some of the trek shows like discovery and picard have very erratic run times as well.
I really don't know what to think about this. One part of me is glad the Ewan McGregor is back as Obi Wan, but the story/direction/characters aren't working for me. I'm really not enjoying it.
Hoping it redeems itself in the next two episodes, but this is feeling like BoBF.
Thinking that Obi Wan deserved to be a film like Rogue One and not clobbered in with the merch selling shows. As filler episodes like ep 4 prove that.

To some it's an advantage of streaming, there's no 48 minutes that you MUST fill for the hourly TV slots + adverts, it also gives freedom to directors to pace their episodes and shows as they want, without padding scenes or adding pointless additions. You sometimes benefit, you sometimes don't, but yes, this really was very short.

Ewan must feel like a fraud reading some of these lines, it’s so badly written.
Well, he read dialogue written by Lucas so this is likely a massive step up. Alec Guinness has the same opinion of Lucas' dialogue, ropey at best.
