Oh, look! A completely unconvincing starship chase. Where have I seen that before?
It's especially bad because the opening of Star Wars Episode IV did the same scene so much better. Both in cinematography, and in music, and in just overall believability.
Remember when star destroyers were fast, and could shoot straight? And were equipped with tractor beams and fighters?
I did kinda like the shuttle Obi-wan took off in. Having the engines tuck into the fuselage once it landed was neat, and made sense.
I also liked the scene where Owen and Beru talk about defending their home.
I like Haja Estree, the fake Jedi with a heart of gold. At first glance, pretending to be a Jedi seems like a suicidally bad idea in a universe run by the Empire. But if the powers that be know you're a fake, and don't just shoot you on sight, then it just might let you attract the attention of any real Jedi, and hustle them along the underground railroad before the Empire spots them. It's probably not going to be a long career, but if you want to be a hero...
Not a super big fan of the showdown between Kenobi and Vader. Kenobi gets buried alive, then a couple minutes later he's back and all of a sudden he's ten times stronger. The shot of Anakin staring out of Vader's helmet is a good one, but Star Wars Rebels did it first and better.
What I really don't like is how the show stomps all over Star Wars continuity. It seems clear in Episode IV that Kenobi and Vader haven't faced each other before. Even the dialog between them robs from Episode IV. And it's pretty clear in episode IV that Luke hasn't had a run-in with the Sith before either, or seen a lightsaber in action, or met Obi-Wan.
