Obi-Wan Kenobi has built a real following in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 2,265 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Ewan McGregor leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Obi-Wan Kenobi is worth clearing space for. Obi-Wan Kenobi uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, former Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, embarks on a crucial mission to confront allies turned enemies and face the wrath of the Empire. Ewan McGregor and Vivien Lyra Blair lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It first aired in 2022. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. Ahsoka is the obvious comparison, but Obi-Wan Kenobi earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Ewan McGregor anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
