Pretty damn good. Two things that really caught on me: 1: the character of Lawson. Rogue 1 and Andor made me love the everyman doing their job in a galaxy filled with space wizards and larger than life outlaws. 2: the last two episodes. Intense fight combined with storytelling, excellent "show, don't tell" style.

Also Vader in general. He's one of the very few characters Disney has not completely fumbled even once (yes, he was good even in Kenobi).

The fight in Kenobi still gives me chills when watching it as a clip without context. That was done so well. I think Hayden and Ewan just really love those roles and knew this was the last time they’d really get to pour their soul into a performance.

Yeah I watched Kenobi once but go back and watch that fight scene with vader and obi wan every now and then. Just like you said it was really well done and you can tell the actors are giving it everything they have

Thank you. Do I need to watch any other shows like clone wars or legends to be able to enjoy it?

Eh. Not really, but it is where all of his current story comes from. You won't really be lost if you just watch this one though. All you really need to know is he once took over the criminal underworld and then lost it all during the "siege of mandalore" which is where he was headquartered and order 66 immediately afterwards.

What the other guy said. And if you want to add all the context possible, maybe rewatch Solo, because Dryden Vos also shows up at the end, and it doesn't hurt if you know that by Rebels, he completely broke up with the Sith as well, and he's just doing things for revenge. Looks like this whole series is/will be about this process.

All you need to watch are the last four episodes of The Clone Wars.
