- 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
Anxiety, depression, failure to move on: An analysis of mental illness
Obi-Wan Kenobi
2022 was a rough year for everyone, but a light in the darkness came in the form of an unexpected sequel to both the end of The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan Kenobi brings the audience up to speed of what has taken place ten years later, which also includes some cameos including one of the remaining clones begging on the streets of one of the planets.
In the 1977 movie A New Hope, we find "Ben" hiding on Tatooine keeping watch over Luke, implying that he's been there for years as a hermit. It took many forms of Star Wars media, plus common sense, to realize that he didn't just sit there doing nothing. I had always wondered why Anakin and his former master didn't meet until the events on the Death Star. Well, wonder no more, as this series fills in a much needed gap.
I write frequently of the portrayal of mental illness, depression and anxiety when I see them in fictional works, and boy does this show feature that. We have learned over the years that not every Jedi perished during Order 66, and this includes several of the younglings who had not yet made it to Padawan status.
In addition, Darth Vader has been searching the galaxy to get revenge on his former master due to the physical state that he left him in causing not only severe damage, but wrecking his mind. Anakin was not made aware that his children survived and that also took a heavy toll because he wasn't present for Padme's death. I can't even imagine that sort of pain, but Anakin channels his pain into an obsession. One of the other things we learn is that he remained on Mustafar, keeping a solitude surrounded by the elements that destroyed him. I still find myself wondering how the Emperor allowed him to just sit there, but that parallels with Kenobi just sitting there.
Speaking of Kenobi, he has allowed himself to fall into despair and shame, dreaming of Anakin's apparent death, and not even caring for himself. I am certain that he would have wasted away if it weren't for his promise to look after Luke.
I know I am not concentrating on the main plot, but the emphasis on Anakin and Obi-Wan's similar journey of self reflection brought forth such an emotional response in me. Both men get lost in blame, Anakin on Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan on himself, that neither may progress or grow as characters.
Neither one of them knew the other lived until we meet one of the Inquisitors, dark Jedi introduced in the Star Wars: Rebels as the elite forces that hunt down the remaining hidden Jedi. Third Sister, Reva, kidnaps Leia Organa in an attempt to flush out Kenobi to win favor with Vader, and chaos ensues. Of course, there is a twist, and I leave it up to the audience to enjoy.
The dramatic conclusion accurately reflects what must be done in order to let go and move forward. A parallel to my own life that I still have strong feelings about.
