man I'd of loved that it's kind of a shame we don't have much Hayden Christensen in this, bro watched Clone Wars & Rebels in preparation for it mannnn give him some more time to shine.

but yeah Vader pulling Reva's saber is definitely a cool mirror, so I guess it's neat that both Obi-Wan and Anakin each used that scene's lesson on the same person here.

The flashback of the training duel was after AotC not before RotS. The hair is a dead giveaway. He is still a padawan there.

I like that they didn't use the de-age tech on them and just kinda used a little makeup to make them look a little younger, but didn't really try to make them look 20 years younger.

yeah I realized from an easter egg video this really would still be apprentice era due to the hair but oh dear god he visually is very much is the oldest we have ever seen him so it's a bit jarring to my brain

still tho I'm just glad to get scenes with him nonetheless

as for where I think the Finale is going.

They mentioned the hyperdrive is down and they are right behind them. They will drop Obi-Wan off somewhere(Mustafar?) to lure Vader there while the rest escape and bring Leia home. We still need the big Vader/Obi-Wan on Mustafar fight from the concept art. Reva going to Luke.

Since we are apparently getting a season 2... maybe ends on a cliffhanger? I don't know how you pack all that into one more episode.

Obi-Wan gonna fight Vader, win? Like he has to come out on top so the learner/master stuff in New Hope still works and they are adamant canon will not be changed. Then rush back to Luke. Not sure where you end it. Saves Luke? Cliffhanger with Luke and Lars' about to die? Which lol cliffhanger a thing we all know the outcome of.

Anyway super hyped for next week!

I was kinda confused though at how that fight's moral was supposed be relevant to the episode, I don't think it really mirrored anything...

I think the point here was that Vader's obsessive need to prove himself superior to Obi-Wan allowed him to get fooled by their sleight of hand with the ship and escape. Vader can't see beyond wanting to best Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan used that to his advantage. He even said as much to Reva. "All he'll see is me."

It was good to get to see Hayden Christiansen again, as well as getting to see Vader flex his Dark Side muscles here.

So a lightsaber to the gut is not a death strike apparently, yet everyone in the star wars universe seems to believe it is and walks away from the body content that they will die. Hasnt anyone heard of beheading? People don't come back from that.

Anakin was literally his padawan at that point, he still had the little braid. And the flashback totally mirrored what happened in the episode in that Obi-Wan outplayed Vader with his strategy and trickery.

I just want Obi-Wan to defeat Vader in some clever way that exposes Vader's blind side of rage and obsession with him. And Vader learning from it, so the next time they meet (presumably, ANH) makes more sense.

It started as a joke before The Force Awakens came out that if the movie sucked J. J. Abrams would be nicknamed Jar Jar Abrams forever. Needless to say, people who didn't like the movie latched on to the nickname and it only intensified with The Rise of Skywalker.

Oh no I went back there.

TBH I think Abrams is talented, it's just the flaws in his general style have become so apparent due to how influential he is within the industry. IIRC Tom Cruise hired him to direct Mission: Impossible III because he was impressed with the action in Alias, and then everything just ballooned from there. Not helped by Abrams having directed a grand total of one film not part of a franchise and even that was basically a proto-Stranger Things. Also huh Abrams sure likes his action heroines, can't say I'm complaining though. And not just for that.

In hindsight I feel like Star Trek Into Darkness was the point where Abrams started to get significant backlash due to perceptions the film was a pale imitation of Wrath of Khan (personally I haven't seen any Abrams Trek fully since 2010). This board seems to have even fewer devoted Trek fans than Wars though so that probably passed this board by though. One YouTuber whose channel specializes in movie countdowns placed both Into Darkness and Super 8 lower than Rise of Skywalker when he ranked all Abrams movies. And on a side note, has he seriously only actually directed six films? I guess he's busy being a producer.

Tell me more

You're talking about the franchise where every Storm Trooper has a helmet but can be knocked unconscious by hitting them on the head, or dazed from just pushing them in the helmet.

Episode 6

Boy, people in this universe really don't like confirming whether or not the people they're trying to kill are actually dead, do they?

I had a good laugh at the lines that help patch up the incredibly minor dialogue continuity issues in A New Hope. This entire series exists solely to justify why Obi-Wan tells Luke that Vader "killed his father" and why he calls Anakin "Darth".

Wow that final duel actually had me feeling some emotions. Good shit. Ewan and Hayden were always amazing at their choreography (even if some of it is silly flourishes). I also like Owen a lot, missed opportunity not fleshing out his character. Hopefully in season 2...?

I feel like this could have been reduced to 4 episodes to cut out the filler, but that's true for most shows I guess. Or anything really. Gotta pad out the runtime no matter what.

Owen has a stack of companion cubes beside his house

Hello there

And that was one of the laziest cameos I've ever seen. I figured Neeson wouldn't want to show up for more than 30 seconds, but it could have been more impactful. Oh well.

I think the show still has some of the same pitfalls of the prequels (implausible scenarios and corny dialogue where the foreshadowing or fanservice feels too forced), but I'd still say I enjoyed it more than any of the prequels.

While the show took a dip in the middle, the last two episodes and the first I think made up for it all. Obi-Wan/Leia friendship was definitely something I didn't know I needed, and I am also always so happy to see more Bail Organa.

I wish they would have made it a BIT more evident that Obi-Wan was choosing mercy as well, for Vader. Him and Reva react the same way - and are both free to move on the same. It just wasn't made clear enough at the time that Obi-Wan had no score to settle with Vader, since Anakin was dead.
