I love the books. They are the best sci-fi books I ever read! They are among the best books I ever read! Amazing genius work!

I love the show and gave it 10/10. Why? It is not even close to the level of the books, but not because it is a bad show but because you cannot expect the TV medium to deliver on the level of the books. Not possible! So the first fact that this show exists and tries to adapt this material is already half of my rating! Then the story itself is phenomenal and hence the show based on it - doesn't matter how close to the books it is the story is still amazingly great! Thirdly i has nice differences to the books that kept me curious. Lastly, I liked the characters dynamics and the way they were presented!

I liked the show, the courageous elements in it and am looking forward to the rest of it!

The story shows the 'training' Obi-Wan had to take as suggested by Yoda in the end of the Revenge of the Sith (I am writing this after the first 4 episodes have been released so far). And the training is called Life. The Force is the essence of Life, you cannot be one with the Force if you cannot move on in Life. Accepting the choice of the ones you care for, despite the hit it does to you; seeing the bigger picture when huge tragedies happen and trying to do your best in it; not allowing for your hope and life-affirming actions being snuffed out by nihilism. This is the Path, this is the Way of the Force.

Star Wars has always been about the deepest aspects of mythology and Obi-Wan conveys this wonderfully in all layers - writing, acting and production. Bravo!

Watched at imax. Twenty years after The Lord Of The Rings (and post Game of Thrones) this is another excellent cinematic adaptation to an excellent book, only this time sci-fi. World building, cinematography, music, acting, action - everything is magnificent. A rare sci-fi blockbuster that has depth and artistic value. I hope it does good enough in the current situation that the great Denis Vilkeneuve has the opportunity to continue this great cinematic journey!
