I've tuned into the first four episodes of the #ObiWanKenobiSeries on #DisneyPlus, and I have a bold claim to make - Star Wars television series are surpassing the movies in quality.

In my opinion, the movies tend to overwhelm viewers with a barrage of information, making it challenging for casual fans to grasp the characters, terminology, and overall plot.

Conversely, the television series excel at breaking down complex elements, drawing viewers in with character development and engaging storylines that facilitate a deeper understanding of the Star Wars universe.

Series like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been executed brilliantly, allowing audiences to connect with main and side characters on a more personal level. These shows have provided me with insights into characters like Luke and Leia, enhancing my comprehension of their backgrounds and motivations.

Overall, the Star Wars television series are enriching the lore and expanding the universe in a way that the movies sometimes struggle to achieve. Exciting times for Star Wars fans!
