After the show's release, many fans took to their social media accounts to praise the show. Over the years, the makers have tried to reboot the Star Wars franchise with follow up stories and spin-offs however, fans often complained that they couldn't live up to the hype or vibes of the original six films. Now, many Twitter users have claimed that Ewan McGregor's return to playing the role has brought back the original Star Wars vibes.

One Twitter user said, "Obi-Wan Kenobi is... quite a bit better than I expected and infinitely better than I feared." Another wrote, "The first two episodes of #ObiWan gave me the kinds of chills I haven't felt since first watching the original trilogy. And Moses Ingram is serving up one of the franchise's best villains. Genuinely can't wait to see what the other four episodes hold. #ObiWanKenobi."

Take a look at more reactions,

Here's the deal #ObiWanKenobi is fantastic. I could talk about Episodes 1 and 2 for hours. It's great on it's own, but what it really does masterfully is give me more reason to want the [SPOILER] series I've been craving. It's possible and it's what the people want.

Got up at the crack of dawn to watch #ObiWanKenobi before work and I was not dissapointed. Packed with nostalgia and action. Everything I have loved about the other Disney Star Wars series so far. Great to see Ewan McGregor reprise the role

Dude for real, the scary voice was so cringe, i was really excited for the series but now im very dissapointed, it isnt a story problem, the story well excecuted would be good, i see a directing problem. its really a shame, looks like something with a low budget.

Very personal and non-spoilery take on @obiwankenobi, the first two episodes: Star Wars Moms have their long overdue moment on-screen and it is beautiful💜

Hope, versus the dousing of the light seems to be the centerpiece or direction for this series and I’m here for it. #Kenobi
