I thought this was an interesting take:
every episode mirrors an Episode of the Skywalker saga (I-VI)
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsKenobi/comments/vacere/fan_theory_every_episode_mirrors_an_episode_of/It’s been quite obvious so far; some fans are getting nuts about these “insane parallels” but I just find it to be poor storytelling.
Star Wars has become self-referential to a fault. I really would like to see a story set in the distant past, or distant future (or both), that is completely unrelated to any character or story beat we have seen thusfar. At this point these shows feel like a great meal, that has been re-heated a number of times in the micro-wave. It still looks pretty similar, but it tastes funny, and all the nutrients have been destroyed in the process.
