No spoilers.
YES....I am a grumpy, bitter, depressed, lonely, sad-sack curmudgeon that has all but given up on life.
So few things brought a smile to my face in the last five years I can count them on one hand.
Obi Wan? Not necessarily one of them. But for the first time I actually kind of appreciated it.
When the Mando pilot blew my socks of right into the living room of the apartment next to me, that was pure unadulterated joy. And I know why, besides the decent production values.
My love of SW never, ever waned and I watched with disappointment as the toy stores clearanced out all SW toys and made room for the crazy new slew of 80s toys. ROTJ wrapped a neat little bow on everything. SW felt "over."
But it wasn't for me. I spent hours and hours playing with my SW toys. Hand of course had the Falcon. Luke was not flying the Imperial Shuttle or B-Wing or A-wing as his personal transport. (Some advantages to those clearance....my dad brought home the Shuttle brand new with a $12.97 price sticker!) I'd have them crash on remote planets and rebuild their wrecked ships. Sometimes Boba Fett would show up....come on, even then I knew he wasn't really dead. Sometimes I'd have a droid wearing the Vader suit to scare people. I also really liked the Death Star Gunner as some kind of unstoppable cyborg.
But I digress.....I loved every second of Mando cause it was just 6 year old me playing out adventures with my toys but in glorious live action.
Obi Wan isn't quite there yet but the spirit is. It's not Oscar bait/Shakespeare crap. It's old B-movies delivered with a straight face. I just stopped being so critical and realized this stuff isn't "art"....it's just an attempt to make fun content to keep the corporate machines going. It's nothing more than a little kid playing with his figures but live on screen.
Yeah Reva sucks, but you can't win em all. SW is what SW is, a dumbed down space opera for the masses. I don't LOVE Obi-Wan, but I respect what it is. I ignore the forced PC/political stuff and just think how closely in echoes my adventures with action figures in the back yard. Pretty cool.
(But not as cool as Mando of course.)

The "tomb" was wonderfully morbid.
Instantly reminded me of the final season of Dexter.

The one that stood out to me, and will likely end with the guy's execution for incompetence, was the security guard letting the Rebel through merely because she outranked him.
He had superiority owing to the chain of command and his specified duty. He had one job to do.
The other funny moment was the right handed troopers drawing their blasters from the left. An awkwardness that goes back to 1977 due to the magazines on the Sterling sticking out to the left, and why a lot of troopers back then were left handed (because the magazines also got caught on their armour).
It's real world funny, but also easily explained by the clumsy bureaucracy of the Empire.
Disney actually went there...
...and there...

Yup, that was one of the dumb moments.
