Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope.
Despite my TV's continuing drift to the dark side, we manage to catch Ep01 and 02 of the series. At the beginning of Ep01 there is a nice recap of the first three movies that led us to this point. OWK starts up ten years after Revenge of the Sith. OWK is broken and hiding out and watching after Young Skywalker. The Inquisitors, a new group, are hunting down the remnants of the Jedi with OWK being the last big fish. Bad things happen and OWK has to come out of hiding. In Ep02, he travels to a new planet to deal with the thing. Bad things happen there.
On the whole, It's fine. It feels like a TV show more than a movie. The aesthetic feels a little cheaper. They are getting a lot of use out of their Mandalorian/ Boba Fett city set. There were a couple of old faces making an appearance. It must odd to be playing the same characters twenty odd years apart. There is a really good surprise cameo and there is an Eternal who I knew was in the movie but only remembered when he makes his appearance.
There are some bad fight sequences. There are a couple of chase sequences where all I could think was I could catch that person.
But it does appeal to my inner Star Wars fanboy. I'm ready to see more.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
