There is a lot to like about Obiwan and Ewan is doing a nice job. But it's the fundamental drawback of prequels is that it can only take you to a single, already known point. There is also zero at stake for the main characters since they cannot die. It's why Mandalorian is the best Star Wars thing to happen since Empire SB, untethered from a plot firmly entrenched in our collective brains.
edit: the animated clone wars did a great job of the above. Should have thrown a bunch of money at that, would have been great live action tv
Ep 3 had more plot holes than Lando's mask when he's above the Sarlac pit - this is inexcuseable since all the writers have to do is draw a sensible line between two firmly established points in time and make it fun in between. I will watch the rest but they really need to get their shit together with the plot, they have a great sandbox to play in but it ain't that big and everyone knows where the border starts and ends.
