My favorite part of the episode. A framing device that fit the structure of the story they were trying to tell in this one. The flashbacks were also tellingly depicted as Vader's memories rather than Obi-Wan's, which is also interesting.

My guess is now the Third Sister sacrifices herself in some way in the finale to save Luke/Leia, figuring that their continued existence/force potential is the best way to get her final revenge on Vader.

I liked how they had Vader fight in the style of Anakin and not like old man Vader 10 years later.

So apparently Andrew Stanton helped write the final 2 episode. Probably why as a whole this episode was vastly superior to everything that came before it.
Don't know if it was a fivehead play by Disney or they just accidentally stumbled onto flipping the concept of the female lead that gets pretty much everything unearned on its head but holy shit did it work either way. By the end I actually felt a bit bad for Reva because both Vader and Obi Wan used her as a pawn, unbeknownst to her, and she got absolutely wrecked for it. Just complete humiliation and everything she'd been accomplishing? Nope, Vader was pulling the strings all along. Last edited by Sassy Squatch; 06-15-2022 at 08:51 PM.. |

Best episode so far. Sure it had it's silly points, but overall very enjoyable.
A couple of things.

I just saw that as Vader having so little respect for her/her skills and any potential for her to threaten him in the future that he doesn't care if she survives. He's letting her live with the shame of her failure.
Of course, I also expect his hubris in that regard to come back to bite him in E6. |

The robot sacrificial sheild got me in the feels. And then the next sacrificial play was done very well.

Unbelievably good episode.
Spoiler!
Has anyone noticed how each episode is mirroring an episode of the Skywalker saga? Episode I: Strangers arrive on Tatooine. Kenobi meets/guards a young, gifted boy who lives his simple life with his family (Anakin/Luke). Episode II: Kenobi hunts for the bounty hunters who have attacked a princess (Padme/Leia). The hunt leads through an urban cyberpunk planet (Coruscant/Daiyu). Episode III: Kenobi faces off with Darth Vader. He gets burned in fire just as Vader got burned on Mustafar. Kenobi fails to rescue the child (Anakin/Leia). It's his low point. Episode IV: Kenobi gets his act together and sets off to a military Imperial base to rescue Princess Leia (Death Star/Fortress Inquisitorius). The Imperials plant a homing beacon. Episode V:
Spoiler!
Episode VI: There is still good in him/Obi-Wan once thought as you do? ![]() One thing I will say, they really need to quit with the shaky cam.

Disney consistently drops the ball on this stuff the first time out.

Can we now agree that Reva is a pretty damn good character?
Her actions and performance now line up completely with her motivations.
