[Official] Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. S1: 05/27/22

[Jazzy B.]

Finally a good episode,

Shame it took 5 episodes to get there

 

[CHERUB]

Maybe because he’s not acting as apart of the Empire. This is personal.

nah. prolly a contract issue with John Williams

Didn’t he comeback to make Obi WAN’s theme?

 

[Luke Cage]

Didn’t he comeback to make Obi WAN’s theme?

Yeah he did Kenobi's theme but the rest of the music is by Natalie ****, she did the music for Loki tv series too.

not sure why there is no imperial march in this show.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Good episode, lol Reva really tried it

This Vader is waaaaaaay too lenient tho, butchering the character.

No way he tolerates that much failure and outright betrayal. But Vader does like to play with his food so I can see it, just not to that extent.

He almost killed her when Obi Wan escaped the Inquisitor Fortress.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Awesome episode, Hayden and Ewan killed that little fight felt like Attack of the Clones.

9.5/10, I've loved Leia so far but in this episode she was really not necessary.

I've been fukking with the show more than most of y'all so far, so if they nail the final episode I'm GOOD

Agreed. I thought the show's been great, as has most of the fanbase.

This is just The Film Room, everyone hates everything here.

I think Anakin had a little bit of regret/guilt for Reva. I stan Darth Vader but him slicing down those kids was wrong. His guilt is what let him take it easy on Reva. He knew she attempted to kill the Grand Inquisitor. He knew that attempt would also mean she would turn on him eventually. I think he also saw himself in her. That flashback and what Obi Wan said to him also applies to Reva.

Nah it was all to progress the plot. The writers of the show are changing his demeanor in order to push the story along which I dont agree with. Vader shouldnt have been stopped by the fire in ep3 and shouldve killed Reva in ep4 after he learned of the tracker. In this episode he duel wielded the light sabers and everyone expected a head roll, but i already knew they werent gonna be that graphic

The stab was to either sit Reva up for another “spinoff” series or to prolong her character enough to be in the last episode.

Show would be boring if Vader was just invincible and easily killed everybody.

And he's done stuff like this in the comics occasionally if he feels his opponent isn't a threat and is already broken/defeated. Not out of mercy, but because he thinks it's more cruel to let them live with their failure and shame.

Why would he kill her after he learned about the tracker? She “killed” his lieutenant.

Now that we know he had the other Grand Inquistor in his back pocket since episode 3 beginning, he’s been playing her like a dog on a leash. Once she got loose he put her down.

 

[KRayner]

best episode so far

clone wars flashback
vader showing some real power
lightsaber fights all around
Reva’s backstory revealed

 

[David_TheMan]

She cared about her family. The ones who got slaughtered. She only cared about revenge.

She ripped that Rebel symbol out of the wall cause she hated them for not saving them. She couldn’t save them either.


I thought it was too simplistic but it went over your head so… I guess it’s not dumb enough.

Do you realize how stupid that is, since the rebel alliance did not exist when the younglings were slaughtered.

 

[Rayg1919]

Man Vader is a monster. You saw how he ripped that ship apart. Star wars can go in all kinds of directions with these series.

Edit: The things is, they have enough talent to get the same results with Vader instead of making him change up his demeanor at the last second, which is the strange part

 

[MajesticLion]

Put some RESPECK on Kathleens name you cowards

Her contribution was probably having a pampered princess raised on Alderaan somehow possessed with advanced electronics knowledge to go climbing through vents to fix things...with no explanation whatsoever. We believe, Kathy.

He’s not suppose to be invincible but his demeanor is suppose to mirror that of someone like Marlo Stanfield as a character. Ruthless, cold blooded and not tolerating failure.

But you can see where they let up on it to move the story along

Spoiler

1. In ep3 Vader used the force to wipe the flames that he forced pulled Obi-Wan through, but then just stops and stares as Obi-Wan (who he’s been searching for across the galaxy) gets away. Why not force pull him again? Or extinguish the flames again? Or walk through it?

2. In Ep 4, Obi-Wan escapes Reva and Vader confronts her threatning to kill her for her failure. But didnt Vader let an injured Obi-Wan escape him as well as he just watched? How are you lenient in one instance then angry in another over the same situation? This doesnt make sense. And he ultimately lets her live.

3. You state that he lets people live in certain cases to live with their failure which is true, but the difference here is that Reva knows his identity and Anakin kills anyone who gets close to knowing who he truly is. Obi-Wan even acknowledged it in Ep 5. Vader refers to her as “padawan” indicating that he knew she was a survivor of order 66 in the Jedi temple. Why he let her live so long knowing this is another plot hole the writers made as well. Imo Vader would have made sure adult Reva she died and not leave her on verge of death. As seen with the Grand Inquisitor in this series, and Reva as a padawan, its possible for someone to live through a stabbing apparently. Vader himself should know from his own experience that leaving someone for dead isnt always guaranteed.

I say all this just it iterate that his change actions only serve to move the plot forward as they are a total 180 of his character. The flames are suppose to be the reason Obi-Wan escapes, Reva lives in order to have her around in the episode 5, and she most likely doesnt die in order for her to be used elsewhere.
