The tragedy of these series and of this final is quite simple - lazy and bad writing. Ancient curse, that killed Game of Thrones, came for the Kenobi-show from the get-go and poisoned it. The show was dead already - it just did not know it yet.
Now, were there good - hell, really good! - moments in the 6th episode?
Sure.
Ewan McGregor acting was sincere and powerful, "You did not kill Anakin. I did!" line was clever enough (you are more than welcome to disagree, dear reader, and call it a fanservice), duel between Obi and Darth was well done and two cameos were a suprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Both Emperor and Qui-Gon Jinn paid us a visit.
The rest... was bad. Or mediocre, at least.
Are we suppose to feel sympathy for Reeva. Sorry, i can not. Now, besides her amazing healing abilities and the divine gift of teleportation, she is rather predictable and poorly-written character. Good thing that actress finaly has a chance to, actually, you know, act at the very end of the show, but... Too little - too late.
Force ghost of master Qui-Gon should have been used as a motivator and propper reason why Obi all of a sudden regained his skills and force abilities.
There are oher "small things" (no tie-fighters in pursuit, "escape vessel" that is like 1/5th sieze of the ship it is escaping from, Reeva's ability to get to the Tatooine while Vader still pursuits rebels rust bucket... e.t.c) but i will stop.
Master Kenobi, you deserved better.
We all did.
