Before talking about plot holes we should see how the series ends tbh. Btw, little trivia, in case you didn’t know, Jedi Master Minas Velti, the one we saw in the order 66 sequence, was played by Ming Na Wen’s stunt double and trainer
That's cool.

Guys, without spoilers - are the first episodes good?Yes or no?
They're... eh? They're okay. But nothing we haven't seen before from Disney. You just get to see Obi-Wan with a new hat, so to speak.

That's nice. But it still has nothing to do with my original point.
Though I do always find it funny how Disney Wars defenders try to deflect any criticism with attacks on the original films. It makes it clear that they were never fans in the first place.
Originally posted by ares834Not attacking the original film, I loved it as a kid fer sure. Although by the time I was 16 and the Ewoks, it seemed more childish than ever.

No one pretends that trash is good. It was forgotten for a reason.
But yeah, Kenobi feel like it was written for a similar age range as that:

It's mainly always been a kids serious and since return of the jedi, it's been a vehicle to sell toys to kids.
I have no problem with anyone saying Star Wars is for kids. I mean, I would argue that it's more meant for all ages (it has something for everyone, I would argue). My only issue is if anyone used that as some kind of excuse for substandard work. Young people deserve quality media too.

"Something adults could watch too". Your words. And "kids" is a horrifically vague term. Hell, Lucas has flat out said that Star Wars was aimed initially at twelve-year old boys. That's not so true anymore, is it.
The toys thing is a different argument, and nowadays has shifted dramatically.

😕
Disney is still selling tons of stuff from the EU. Hell, currently the most anticipated SW video game is a remake from the EU. It's far from being forgotten.
As for Lucas's claim that the films are for kids, he's always been a a bit of a liar when it comes to his revisionism. Like his claim that Vader was always meant to be Anakin. Any film that is centered on political maneuvering and trade disputes is clearly not meant to be only for kids. Now whether it was good or not is a different matter entirely.
