Kenobi Flipped Game Of Thrones' Final Season Screenwriting Problems
Warning: Contains spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6.
Obi-Wan Kenobi concluded with episode 6, flipping the primary screenwriting issue of Game of Thrones season 8. The Disney+ series went out on a high note, with many enjoyable moments such as the culmination of Reva's character arc, a force ghost Qui-Gon Jinn, and the rematch of the century between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was these moments and a generally solid script that saw it avoidGame of Thrones' biggest problem.
Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 saw Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) return a young Princess Leia to her parents on Alderaan and arrive on Tatooine just in time to see Reva Sevander (Moses Ingram) spare Luke Skywalker's life. Earlier in the episode, Obi-Wan had an epic rematch with Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), which he won before emotionally apologizing for failing Anakin and turning him into Vader after their duel on Mustafar. Game of Thrones season 8 concluded with Jon Snow killing Daenerys Targaryen after she destroyed much of King's Landing, including innocent civilians, and the crowning of Bran Stark as the new king of Westeros.

However, as the series evolved, with new characters like Reva and the focus on the relationship between Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader, it became a much stronger series and ultimately ended on a high note with an excellent final episode.
