[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return?
Look, I wanted to love Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Rewatched Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
