Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi

[mr. tegu]

I don’t have a problem with Vader not killing or abducting Obi Wan in the fire as he knows Obi Wan isn’t a real threat and torturing him is plenty satisfying for him. What bothers me most is something a lot of these shows do, which is inconsistent or stupid characters just so things can happen or sometimes no reason at all.

Vader hates Reva and clearly wants her dead. In that moment he isn’t just giving one saber blow to the mid section and walking away. He’s slicing and dicing like he did the younglings and innocent villagers. If you don’t have the conviction to kill her off don’t put her in a position where she obviously would be if you stuck to Vader’s character.

Why would he hate her? Why would he give a shit about her at all? He thought so little of her that he didn't even pull his own lightsaber and obviously does not consider her to be a threat in any respect. Leaving her in humiliation having to deal with her own failure would seem to be very much in his character.

Spoiler!

Ultimately a pretty meh finale with some major cameos near the end. The best I can say for it is that we got the big Kenobi/Vader showdown that was sort of promised (with a suddenly super powered Kenobi out of nowhere) which created a good Anakin/Vader shot (complete with a cool voice mix), but I don't think this episode was particularly necessary at all.

Looking back at it as a whole, E5 was really the best of the season by a long shot and would have been a worthy ending to this series in itself.
