BBC

A dark treat.

Paste

Full of Jedi mind tricks and just the right kinds of surprises.

RogerEbert.com

Fun but incredibly familiar.

Hollywood Reporter

More than just fan service.

Decider

A tense thrill ride that exceeds the hype.

Total Film

A mature, beautifully realised slice of Star Wars...

Independent

Here (McGregor) adds new dimensions to the character, without losing the old – his dry wit, his unflappable dignity. The Jedi has returned.

IGN

(Obi-Wan Kenobi) feels, at least so far, like the most well-balanced Star Wars story for quite some time.

The Guardian

(Obi-Wan Kenobi sees McGregor) put in his best performance as the legendary Jedi in a John Wick-esque caper with marvellous action sequences

The Telegraph

McGregor shines but Star Wars is suffering from galactic bloat...

USA Today

(The series) feels more like old-school Star Wars than its Disney+ predecessors, from the credits to John Williams’ rousing new theme.

CNN

A wonderful distraction, no Jedi mind tricks required.
