Obi-Wan Kenobi Part VI Review: 9 Ups & 1 Down
10. There Are Some Brief Pacing Issues
The solitary flaw of Kenobi's final episode is mercifully brief, but worth pointing out all the same considering it's an issue that's followed it since the first episode.
Whilst by no means a deal breaker, there are moments scattered throughout Part VI where the pacing feels just that little bit uncertain. This is particularly true of its action centrepiece (which we'll get to), which is momentarily derailed by the editorial decision to chop between characters.
It's brief and easily overlooked due to the power of the action at play, but it does feel a tad jarring given what's happening.
This pacing issue also emphasises the show's supporting character problems, as it attempts to sell conman Haja as a great guy who's fully reformed and changed massively, despite the fact we've barely seen him.
Less time with him and the Path rebels in the opening act would've made Part VI a spotless episode of TV.
