There escape vessel has no hyperdrive so I think we will see the Vader-Kenobi confrontation early in the episode. It’ll end with Obiwan returning to Tatooine and Reva being at the homestead and asking if this is the reason he was in hiding.

Darth Vader proving once again why he is the the greatest movie villain of all time. The way he grabbed that ship out of the air, dragged it back down, and then ripped it apart it something I thought we would only see in the comics or novels and never brought to live action. And then the way he fought….well let’s face it, Reeva was fighting, Vader was just toying with her and breaking her spirit. He never even used his own lightsaber against her, like she wasn’t even worthy of it. And I had suspected that the Grand Inquisitor was always alive because as rage is a hell of an anesthetic. Also to be completely honest I teared up both when I first saw Anakin and again when I saw Tala and NED-B die.

[@keplerthe3399]

When Vader defeated her in lightsaber combat after toying with her, it seemed so Anakin Skywalker. And seeing Vader in that stance holding both blades, i just see Anakin. OT Vader would probably end something unworthy of his time quickly. I think they did Vader perfectly at this point in time, Anakin's aggression is showing. It's why he failed to catch Obi Wan & why he lost to him during that sparring match in the flashback, now I'm curious if they will still face each other once more in the finale, if they'll leave it at that symbolic meaning to the quote in a ANH.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Vader has been using Reva as a chess piece all along, and he still is. The only reason he let her live is to continue using her obsession for revenge to lead him to Obi-Wan. The Grand Inquisitor even used it to goad her into living, and she's playing right into it...again.

[@valueofnothing2487]

Well, it doesn't make sense because Reba could get next to Vader in any number of ways without having to get Obi-Wan. And invader himself is just as capable as Riva in getting Obi-Wan. The first movie worked because We assume that Vader wasn't interested in Obi-Wan, they were simply two old soldiers from another war.

[@PaidHits]

Love the contrast in this episode. When he was training with Obi-Wan he was so focused on winning and using his saber in the duel he didn’t use the force really and it was his undoing. But with the Reva fight he didn’t even touch his saber and used nothing but the force until the end. You can see how he’s grown with the force and learned since then. And on top of that I love how Vader is just super strong giving me Starkiller vibes with the ship pull and tearing it apart. Barely broke a sweat fighting Reva and didn’t even touch his own saber. Badass. Best episode so far

[@jackviner5181]

Exactly! He learnt and used the force, and to add on to that, he also used the move he learnt from his very own master, who pulled it on him in the flashback. He force grabbed Reva’s saber just like Obi Wan did on him to win the battle.

[@TheAwesome45]

He’s learned, but still makes the same mistakes against Kenobi. Because unlike where Reva’s concerned, Vader’s ego and emotions are invested in hunting his former master.

[@jerryhickin9551]

@@TheAwesome45 yes, he's more powerful, but he hasn't learned the lesson yet. His inevitable failure in the next episode sets up that future line from ANH perfectly. When we last met I was but a learner. Now I am the master. He's going to learn the lessons after the next episode, but Obi Wan will still be 1 step ahead of him after he learns from Qui Gon. Anakin's/Vader'sfailure is his reliance on raw power, and not understanding motivation, ego, and emotion matter. He's the definition, at this point, of the hammer metaphor. Every problem to him is a nail. Just hit it hard enough and you win. He can't beat his own psyche into submission though, and fails to take the real lessons to heart.

[@henninggirl261]

This series has actually made me really understand how sad it is that Luke and Leia didn’t get to grow up together considering how quickly they bonded knowing nothing about each other at 19. They could have been the cutest mischievous babies in the galaxy. 😢

[@yodaguru]

Insanely crazy episode. Flashbacks galore gave the answers to the questions that confirmed so much!

[@janelllovell5202]

I’ve personally loved seeing little Leia and her connection with Ben as she seems to call obi wan so it ties into when Luke saves her by saying Ben sent me (not in those words) so she knows he’s truthful. I did cry for tala I loved her 😢

[@lightdarksoul2097]

It hurts to see someone who is trying to make up for past mistakes give it all they can. That's a tiny downside I think in Return of the Jedi, we have Anakin finally come back and he does make up for his life as Vader but it's a bit quick.

[@robertjames8220]

My thoughts: Reva now believes Kenobi has abandoned her to Vader twice, and she has made the connection that the "Owen" she met on Tatooine has something that Kenobi was guarding. She's going to go take her vengeance on Kenobi -- since Vader has proven himself beyond her reach -- and Kenobi will have to kill her to keep Luke's existence a secret.

[@corvus2512]

I just have this awful feeling that Kenobi will allow her to survive even though she knows about Luke, it should be a death sentence like when Kenobi pulls his saber on Maul when Maul guesses his purpose for being on tatooine. I loved Revas story until she finds that communicator because I feel the show is forcing her into a situation where the only logical outcome is her death yet I don’t have faith that these writers will actually have her be killed by Kenobi.

[@Yungikon]

@@corvus2512 I highly doubt they will kill Reva tbh since they wanna do a S2. But her story should end in this season

That’s what I’m thinking . We know he ends up staying on Tatooine . He would suffer guilt for killing her , but he would do it if he feels he has to

[@jaxsinjaxon2944]

I think the most impressive thing this show has done is find a way (even though it took until episode 5 for me) to make me care about Reva even with Kenobi and Vader doing their thing. Somehow they found a way to weave Reva's plotline in and make it work. That is impressive.

[@cassieo]

24:00 yes, Hector. I remember how I *felt* when I saw that Order 66 scene in the theater. 2005. It was a completely unexpected twist of “just How Bad Is Vader” that I don’t think anyone expected to see at the time. We instantly understood the PG-13 rating because we figured he was going to be burned by fire, maybe acid… but killing those younglings in the Jedi Temple, that was Pure Evil. And it cut us all to the quick about our feelings about Vader. We instantly understood why that man had to die in the end of his arc, even if he was redeemed in the end. So yeah, Order 66. Pivotal moment that everyone can use as a touchstone. Heck, season seven of Clone Wars was commissioned just to tie that moment in (with an Ahsoka and Rex-shaped bow!) and pull together the animated stuff with Episode films. *chefs kiss*

[@michaelberry1382]

I think the line “the light may fade but never forgotten” may come into play next episode. Obi wan made Vader look like a student still learning today. Anakin’s light may have faded- but it’s not forgotten. I think that is where/how Obi wan messes Vader up next episode. That would then tie into return of the Jedi where Vader tells Luke “Obi Wan once thought as you did”

[@fromkieran]

“force matrix fung-fu”, couldn’t have put it better myself hahah, Vader was a badassss this episode, praying for a mighty face-off in the finale

Really great takes, all. Hector, I especially appreciate the point of using Order 66 as an origin story; it actually hasn't happened too often, and actually _never_ with a survivor to Anakin himself. And though Reva's backstory was obvious to all of us, the way they portrayed it here was truly awesome. This is definitely a show where the how is more important than the what. Although, the one major surprise in the show remains a fantastic one: 10-year-old badass Leia.

[@ronariverarahman9941]

The big Order 66 scene in ep 1 really did show the trama and and the scale of Obi Wan guilt , if you don't include the Reva stuff. The audience needed to see see how bad it was.

Oh man this was a great episode but I knew there was something triggering when I saw the warning in the beginning. The flashback to Revas story was just devastating and heartbreaking and while I know it was filmed almost a year ago, you would think it was done last week. Her story was almost word for word the same as the young girl that survived the shooting in Uvalde, TX. I lost it when she said she waited to be saved and no one came, I had to stop it immediately and compose myself a bit. 😔

[@TheJPN23]

Obi-Wan was too busy fighting Grievous to help her! That's not fair lol

[@berrybread7215]

I’m very fond of the way they frame Anakin/Vader as a still somewhat immature figure at this point. It oddly humanizes him to be reminded that this is a period of immense change in his (still) short life. He’s not a moustache twirling middle aged villain yet. He’s still tripping up, letting his ambition and his impatience obscure his vision. He makes up for it with precision and brutality but I appreciate that this series really gives him more texture and depth. Obi-Wan as well!

[@AmazingChi]

I'm starting to wonder if Reva does survive, does she end up helping watch Leia, the way Ben does Luke?

[@MdGuardian1032]

The thing I love about Reeva and Vader fighting is that he is honoring the rule of two when he amusingly tosses her half her lightsaber (He is beneath killing her with his own blade even finishing the job which is why he leaves her alive). He knows full well she doesn't have a chance but for his own amusement he gives her every opportunity to kill him. If she does she takes his place at Palpatine's side. She has ceased to serve her purpose she has ceased to be a servant and to quote Palpatine in Clone Wars she has "become a RIVAL!" She has every right to challenge Vader to the death as do any of the other inquisitors. One of the reasons they even exist is a constant method of Palpatine to test Vader's worthiness to be Palpatine's 2nd, any of them if they killed Vader would be worthy to take Vader's place, but even horrendously marred and in need of his suit he is still the Chosen One and above all of them.

Fantastic that Andrew Stanton, the man who made Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, and Wall-E, helped co-wrote an amazing episode that filled with action, heartbreak moments, awesome scenes, Badass Vader, and that fantastic callback to the pre-Clone War era with Obi and Anakin. Can't wait to see what he has in store next week, since he co-wrote the finale as well.

[@thenewapelles6448]

Stanton should have written every episode!

[@oAPXo]

The flashback to the spar between Obi and Anakin played very well along the mind of vader and obi still. Anakin still is just a padowan, as anakin said obi lost, but we see he still had a trick or two to escape defeat, which plays to the ship decoy. He was so blind in offensive moves he didn't think of how to handle something that changes. ALSO CAN WE AGREE HOW BADASS IT WAS TO SEE VADER USE THE FORCE TO STALL THE SHIP?!

[@bigbubbano23]

[@dembones5005]

18:50 - I think you're giving Reva too much credit, Adam. I'm pretty sure she's going with the whole "Revenge" line the Grand Inquisitor just used - I'm sure she feels that Obi-Wan used her, tricked her, and abandoned her (and he kind of did), so killing Owen (who she met and suspected in ep 1) and his family will be her final vengeance against him. Flip a coin whether she sees Luke and is reminded of herself and can't go through with it, or Obi-Wan is forced to kill her. Plot Bantha in the room being why Vader abandons his hunt for Kenobi after this. Nothing about pulling a transport from the sky and ripping it to bit screams "Eh. Let bygones be bygones. I'm over it."

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

I'm hoping for another confrontation, but I could actually see it as Vader's way of finally learning the lesson and taking a more patient approach (which would also lend some more weight to the 'I was but a learner' line). But yeah, I'm wondering about that coin flip myself.

Best episode of the series, which puts pressure on next week’s finale to deliver, especially since that final shot may indicate the rumors of what happens in the final are true and that it may break with the Star Wars canon that we know in A New Hope, regarding Luke Skywalker and if he should see a lightsaber before the events of that film.

I need someone who can explain to me these 2 things: 1) I can understand Reva surviving now the second time, but I don't get how she had been able to survive the first time when Anakin executed order 66, when she was only a child...maybe Anakin didn't impale her with the lightsaber just like Vader did? 2) it's just me, or I am not the only one who noticed that obi wan used and, in the end, tricked Reva in order to escape from Vader? He left her there to die, knowing that she would have never walked out of there alive...first obi says that he'd do the impossible to save those civilians, but then proceeds to use and deceive her, and that's surely NOT the jedi way....

[@alexworld1992]

A consistent throughline of Character Objectivity and finally some negotiation between Reva and Obi Wan. I surmised that as Obi Wan recalled Anakins temperament / use of the force /sense of achievement, it reignited his own relationship to the force. He was reminded of his duties to civilians, his empathy for others and a greater ability to read the situation in order to find tangible answers. Finally a clone wars scene mixed with playfulness, brotherhood but a match of wills and ultimately a sense of foreshadowing. There are pockets of writing that with steady ironing could be smoother but ultimately here's an episode which balances a great deal of elements well and does the greater world of Star Wars credit. Heroes Reforged - while I watched I pictured your reactions in my mind, especially regarding Anakins storming of the Jedi Temple. If Dave Filoni had overseen the dialogue for the clone wars (especially the kenobi/skywalker interactions) indaresay we would have delved deeper into their master/apprentice relationship.

[@blakedowning1811]

Really really cool point in y'all's discussion about whether or not having the opening scene of ep1 as Order 66 with little Reva is too "heavy-handed" in terms of making the plot predictable. I really like Hector's point that maybe it would have been challenging for people who aren't die-hard Star Wars nerds to remember, and in addition I think it might have been a calculated choice to insulate the story from those in the fandom who would consider this reveal to be a "cop out" right at the end of the season had it not been alluded to at the beginning. But of course, those who would have called it a "cop-out" are likely the same people who are only happy when they're complaining about something, and I'm sure they'll complain about the way the story was told. ;) Unrelated, but I just want to shout out: 1) Moses Ingram for her fantastic performance as Reva. She really got to shine in this episode. Her face after the duel with Vader gives me chills. 2) Deborah Chow for taking us to church with this series. Star Wars has always been opera to me--dramatic and thematic! And we got so much of that in this series, and especially in this episode. Thank you to these two incredible women making fire Star Wars content for all of us to enjoy. :) Great reaction as always, and I'm excited for next week!!!

Leia "But what if he has something to say?" Hala responds with "Actions are louder than words." And that final end scene between them. Idk. I got a secret robot relationship. Now with Reva, if she leans towards her revenge against Vader, she will be further from the light. It's her destiny to not be the one to correct the wrongs of Vader. It's Lukes destiny.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if this connects to force unleashed the rebellion didn't really start until later and I feel that the characters that we see now give motivation to who we see in the next episodes and or movies we have already seen. Like Tala dying battle gives motivation for the soldier and general she later became. We already know how these characters end up, maybe this is kind of filling some gaps that us long time fans. I don't care about the inconsistencies. I feel that as true fans of the lore we don't really care, it is fun to see the action and perhaps answer some questions we may have had. This was a great episode to date.

there is a level of irony, perhaps karmaic justice - Obi Wan didn't save Reva as a youngling, he also didn't save her as an adult either, and because of those decisions, now it's put her in a position to know about Luke (and Leia) and the kids will be in danger - perhaps if Obi Wan had come back to get her, she might have become an ally, but now her rage might take her further down the dark side.

[@brigitter1469]

I absolutely love the young Leia!! She is cheeky. This is the best episode so far. Reva written to be hard, cold and calculated to hide her secret.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Until action figures are made of them, Tala and Nedb at least have Lego figures incoming.

Going back to the trailer, i see three small rockets blasting off into space. I remember after the decision to separate the skywalker kids that, "Failed I have, into exile I go." it all seems a little too convenient that Luke and Leia's covers are blown this early, cause she becomes a big deal in the resistance before she is captured in a new hope.

16:50 - absolutely amazing by Hector

[@Imdarkmaster999]

Mr. Hector is right, stupid internet

[@SergioLeRoux]

Highly doubt Vader is going to find out what Reva knows, about Owen or Tatooine. Him knowing about the kids or even that Obiwan lives there would likely break continuity. I think there's going to be some confrontation between Ben and Reva and Owen/Luke?.

[@DrKeps]

Ooh, I've been waiting for you guys all day. This was actually a very good episode, best of the series so far.

[@azapache2006]

1. Ship broke down 2. Land on dathomir 3. Middle of ep 6 the long battle obi vs vader 4. Unexpected help arrives

[@koolme666]

here's the thing though does reva finding out about about owen and luke break the continuity with the ending of revenge of the sith if vader and reva go to tattooine? the whole point was that the sith were never supposed to step foot on a place they would never being to look. Also Vader used the same move obi wan did to him in their little practice duel when obi wan lost his saber he took anakins, vader did the same to reva. i thought that moment was pretty cool cause he remembered

[@veritaz212]

That was Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs not Pulp Fiction but the impression was on point :D

[@zagat2]

Vader taking her light saber, tossing her half, tossing his half away and then reclaiming both halves is undoubtedly the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen in Star Wars history.

[@edgarpan]

Master Obi Wan Kenobi is a master in the art of, Fighting Without Fighting.

[@denisemedina4784]

The show did a whole "Jacobs Ladder" with Reeva's flashback.

[@Moses5782]

My wife isn’t tapped into the lore and she was surprised about Riva. That early exposition wasn’t for people who keep tabs.

[@Alice83ashla]

The flash back takes place before Episode II mostly because his right hand is ok and he’s still a Padawan.
