The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi just dropped and fans are already tearing apart a goofy chase scene from Episode 1.

Obi-Wan Kenobi E1 and E2 spoilers ahead

While fans mostly enjoyed the two lead-off episodes for Obi-Wan Kenobi, which premiered on Disney Plus this morning, however, some were not very happy with certain scenes. One scene from Episode 1, in particular, had fans maulding over the inability of three grown aliens to catch a slow-moving, child Leia Organa.

Check out the clip below to see for yourself. Although the clip is sped up and the editing is different from what was actually shown in the episode, it does an adequate job at showing how laughable the scene is.

Obi-Wan chase scene fan reactions

“The first Obi-Wan episode was basically 54 minutes of brilliance mixed in with 1 minute one of the dumbest bad-guys-chase-a-kid sequences in film history.”

“Obi-Wan is gonna be incredible because it’s going to unintentionally create so many more memes! The Leia chase scene needs to be enshrined as BEST WORST chase scene in film.”

“Man, the first Obi-Wan episode was fire until that cringey chase scene. That shit was atrocious. Why are all the chase scenes in these D + Star Wars shows so bad”

“Even though I dislike certain chase scenes, when obi-wan discovers anakin is still alive is an amazing scene. You can see how conflicted and sad he is. I really hope they do obiwan justice.”

“#ObiWan I’m not enjoying it so far sadly. I really liked Obi-Wan and his character direction, it’s everything I’ve wanted for years but something about the show is really off. Like thise chase scenes were beyond ridiculous and that roof run was physically painful to watch.”

“Apart from Deborah Chow not being able to Direct chase scenes, Obi-Wan Kenobi was absolutely fantastic. Ewan McGregor nailed it and young Leia Organa stole the show. Really liked Reva and I’m looking forward to seeing how she develops as a character 8.5 / 10 #ObiWaKenobi”
