When Obi-Wan leaves the cave where he has been living for the last 10 years, he packs everything except for one crate. This may be the same crate where Luke found the instructions and pieces to build a new lightsaber in the deleted/restored scene in Return of the Jedi. This is why this scene happens in a cave and not in Obi-Wan's house.

[@jacklane3679]

I loved that what Obi-Wan said to Luke about his father being killed by Vader wasn't some stuff he made up to deceive Luke, nor was it necessarily what he believed, but it was verbatim from his father. So the whole "a certain point of view" is actually Vader/Anakin's point of view, not necessarily Obi-Wan's. Loved how it gave some layers to that whole subplot from the original trilogy. On another note, I feel the hologram message in A New Hope is not a plot hole and is being over-thought by fans. Leia specifically mentions that he served her father during the clone wars because she's providing context for why they're asking him to join in the Galactic Civil War with the Death Star imminently ready. She seemed to know that Obi-Wan and Ben were the same person in the film and that in itself was a plot hole the show actually fixed. I genuinely loved this show all the way through! The last episode in particular was just pure 👌

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

In it's entirety the battle between Obi-Wan and Vader was truly heart breaking. But from a technical stand point it was a phenomenal light saber dual. And Obi-Wan proves that he doesn't need the high ground, lol. This battle has two parts, Obi-Wan accepting that he must face Vader even if it means his death and Vader going full power against him. Then Obi-Wan tapping into his love for all those around him and going OP on Vader and proving he still is the Master, and Vader is just a padiwan. And yes, when you factor in the dialogue, the acting, the music, and what it means to each character the fight is truly heartbreaking. But it is definitely the highlight of the whole series.

The best aspect of Obi-wan, is Vader gave him the opportunity to forgive himself. When Vader says, "I killed Anakin." You can see Obi-Wan's facial expression change from self-loathing, to sadness for his friend. I think Vader showed compassion for his friend by taking ownership of his path, allowing Obi-Wan to forgive himself and move closer into the light of the force. This also showed there is still good in Vader, and he is still a complicated person. In the beginning of the series, Obi-Wan had placed himself in purgatory, by the end, he was on a path towards enlightenment.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Vader didn't show compassion. Anakin did.

[@korenn9381]

[@indiana_holmes]

@Bradley Cochran she never pretends that she doesn't know Kenobi. She simply opens her message as a diplomat recruiting a potential ally. Her final words definitely indicate a personal relationship with Kenobi as well as intimate trust. "Help ME Obi-wan Kenobi, you're MY only hope." She doesn't say "help us" or "you're our only hope," she specifically addresses that SHE needs him. She wouldn't send that message to some guy she'd only heard a few war stories about. She clearly trusted Kenobi and knew he was on Tatooine.

“True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.” - Gandalf I feel like this quote also applies in Obi-Wan’s decision to let Anakin/Vader live.

[@ernestgomez84]

I believe the focus on "the living force" is what saved Obi, he goes from thinking of the past to thinking of the kids. This allows him to level up his force strength and worked to set up that he would see his old master. I also like the idea this allows for more stories to be told with "ole Ben" in his time trusting the force while he waits for Luke to come to him.

[@nicholasgarrick7546]

I think the scene with the grand inquistor explains Vader deep hatred for him. The GI must've told Palpatine the Vader lost their chance to expose the path because of his obsession with kenobi ,leading directly to palpy rebuking Vader, and making him put aside his quest for revenge. After that Vader would've been looking for any opportunities to flay the GI alive.

[@nicholasgarrick7546]

When obi wan was talking to reva about how by showing mercy she gives him peace, I think he's also referring to anakin ,and Vader, and by showing mercy on this pathetic being (vader) that killed his dear friend Anakin, he is giving anakin peace, and letting him rest. Because to obi wan ,anakin is completely gone, and now he doesn't have to hold on to the idea that he is alive.

[@februaryschild0216]

Agree. That was the purpose of the Reva character in the show. She followed Anakin's arc, but when faced with the same choice to kill a youngling, she couldn't, and that made the difference. Obi-Wan could not save his padawan, but he saved this "youngling" by his example of mercy. I know that brought him peace. Imagine what Anakin's life would have been like if he had made the choice Reva did. It was really touching. Anakin and Reva - two characters with childhood trauma who took different roads.

[@februaryschild0216]

I think Vader left Reva the way he did when she was a youngling; near-death and alone...aaand the way she left the Grand Inquisitor. Vader doesn't care about those future rebels. He sees Obi-Wan getting away. He is obsessed. It really did make him make stupid mistakes. The Emperor was right to doubt him. Since these baby rebels got away, a full-blown rebellion formed, many Jedi survived and some almost killed Vader in the comics. His need to win blinds him. I see now that Reva was the redemption that Obi-Wan could never get for Anakin. She is chasing Luke as Obi is fighting his father. Her choice NOT to kill a youngling, her choosing mercy over vengeance freed her. Had Anakin made the same choice, imagine what his life would be like. Through that scene with Reva, Obi-Wan finally got to save a youngling/padawan - even if it wasn't his own. He could put his guilt about not being able to save Anakin behind him for good. I didn't know that where they were taking her. I saw the parallel between her and Vader early on, but this redemption is especially sweet after the duel.

[@saints1fan2]

Facts

[@theimaginarium]

You missed that when Palpatine is talking to Vader he almost repeats Kylo Ren's line about how you should let the past die. Also, Reva's arc perfectly mirrors Obi-wan's: one the master, one the learner, both free themselves from Anakin's darkness. Very well done.

[@edminister]

He started the fight with Vader in his stance, and ended it in Qui Gon's. You see this again at the beginning of the fight with Maul in Twin Suns. Also, Owen punched Reva in her stab wound, brutal. Qui Gon leads Kenobi into Beggar's canyon and you missed an opportunity to use Poe when Vader contacted Sheev via holo. We also just got to see Vader do the first fully automatic force crush on film. He not only gave Obi the high ground but pretty much all of the ground in the general vicinity. Obi later uses the high ground on Vader again albeit a lot more literally.

Some people might call the stab a plot hole, but it made me think of the Bane books, when Bane digested a deadly poison and not only held it back for days with no sustenance, but was able to travel cross-planet to find a cure. Fits right in with Kylo Ren beating his wound to give himself a buff. I agree wholeheartedly with your take

[@WinnieDPue]

I was waiting for this to come out! Thank you, for delivering!! I love your sense of humor; Doug's line about Star Wars fans made me laugh. 😆

[@philliphols]

I had my hand over my mouth for the entire Kenobi-Vader fight. I mean holy sh*t man! I was in pure awe for the second half of their encounter. The way Vader’s voice distortion was wrecked and he kept going from Vader’s broken voice to Anakin’s weakened and struggling voice…. I mean rip my heart out. They were able to SHOW us just how sad and broken Vader really is. You could just feel it. To go from an OP and dominant Vader figure to the broken state that Obi-wan put him in…. I’m impressed. And to mix in Obi-wans pain and regret for what he ultimately did to his best friend… this is the deepest star wars course of events ever

[@matthewhostetter8974]

I loved this episode. Obi-Wan and Vader's dual might have been one of the best saber fights in the entire franchise. All the easter eggs and callbacks. Really my only complaint is the Star Destroyer should have easily destroyed both ships, even if they weren't trying to.

[@themichael4079]

its a targeting issue. the other ships were hard to pinpoint with the gun designed for battles with much larger ships. like trying to shoot a fly with a rifle

[@indiana_holmes]

Go back and watch the Empire Strikes Back... The Star Destroyer had just as much difficulty targeting the Millennium Falcon.

[@AndrasMihalyi]

And they had no tie fighters on board... And why didnt Wader just simply follow Obi Wan with his personal ship or in a tie fighter / bomber whatever... That was lazy writing.

[@indiana_holmes]

@@AndrasMihalyi I agree, the lack of TIE fighters was weird, but Anakin/Vader does stupid shit when he's over confident. He always has. So, I imagine chasing/harassing a crippled starship until he finally sees it blow, brings him more pleasure than having TIEs blast it to bits. As for letting the transport go, Vader was only focused on following and defeating Kenobi (again being stupid and stubborn and single-minded). He orders the entire destroyer to follow Kenobi. The GI attempts to talk sense into Vader, but he and the rest of the crew are not going to disobey a direct order from Vader... It's not lazy writing, it's an emotional and irrational Vader.

[@AndrasMihalyi]

@@indiana_holmes He might be emotional, but he's not stupid. Being a great pilot himself he just had to jump into a fighter (like in ep 4 ) and follow Obi Wan alone - and he wanted to face him alone in the first place anyhow... Otherwise a great show 🙂

[@AtotheDamn]

I was just happy to see some SUBSTANCE infused into what these actors were being asked to do. I was talking with a co-worker today, more of a "Prequel Baby", and he asked what issues I might have had with the 2nd trilogy. #1 was how Show Don't Tell turned into Tell Don't Show...heavy handed dialogue and nudges to the audience with references without actual narrative weight. He was like "oh okay, yeah, I get that" (he's a good kid). Anyways I feel this show gave the OG fans what they were craving, which was something the performers could sink their teeth into. And sink they did. Bravo to that.

After having watched the episode. I openly wondered what Obi Wan did with that shuttle he used. Then it hit me, I think he sold it off somewhere on Tatooine and used the funds to buy why little plot of land he lived at during ANH.

[@BlokHeadAnim]

Omg that actually makes sense

[@lwnasidh]

He also had a good chunk of money for the down payment to hire Han in the original.

[@mudman619]

I just figured after he left Alderaan, he returned the ship to the Path & they gave him a lift back to Tatooine.

[@CodeKujo]

Next time he went to use the shuttle, the jawas had scavenged it ;)

[@jamesgarrett8833]

Darth Varder saying to Obi-Wan, “you didn’t kill Anakin, I killed him”. That’s a great set for A New Hope in the scene were Obi-Wan tells Luke, “Varder betrayal and murder your father”. Because Obi-Wan was not lying when he said that to Luke

[@Jennijune36]

I also thought Anakin’s ownership of it, and his releasing Obi-Wan of guilt, played so beautifully into Padme and Luke’s constant assertion that “there is good in him.” Perfection.

[@jordans2637]

Hayden was absolutely magical. My Star Wars heart is so happy.

[@Kal824]

That apology at the end... That hit so hard... Obi spent that whole time thinking he had failed Anikin, when it was Anikin who was the one to fail Obi... He allowed himself to be given in by the Dark Side. A kid who was once filled with light and hope became sinical, and a coward. Instead of confronting his fear, and his guilt, he gave in and coward to it. Always looking for others to make him feel better about how shitty he felt. First Obi, the Palpatine, who he now gives his "loyalty" to, thinking what...? That things will get better? All that wasted potential to make change... To live the life he had originally wanted with Padame and his children, gone. I don't feel sorry for Anikin. Never have. Never will.

That fight was genuinely heartbreaking.

[@lwnasidh]

I took Reva hunting Luke as having figured out that "the children" were Anakin's from the way Bail Organa spoke of them... so her desire to kill Luke was to kill Anakin's child as a way of feeling she was punishing Anakin... not just because she wanted to punish Obi-wan or just want to kill someone. It makes her placing Luke in her role as youngling and herself in Anakin's role as assassin more meaningful, IMO.

[@JDPwatching]

Smashing review, Ryan! And you nailed the substance of this amazing episode and why it emotionally presses all the right buttons. The callbacks and fan-service were ample, but not forced or overdone, all either sweetly subtle nods that brought a smile to those who caught them or open winks to the audience that were tempered with enough warmth and sentimentality to bring both tears and laughter. Everyone was birthing cows left and right about the possibility (i.e. "ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY!!!") that the series was gonna violate canon, making many fans, in my rarely humble opinion, unable (or unwilling) to watch even a minute of it with an open mind, but now, after seeing ALL of it (which one should do before forming opinions that will be screamed loud and indignantly to the entire internet) and pondering all of the interrelated details not only do the events of Obi-wan Kenobi fit nicely with what's already come before and after, I can easily see myself and others being very soon convinced that what came later would make far less sense without them. And done right, that's exactly how new stories set between well known eras SHOULD feel. Any small hiccups aside, I think this series bullseyed that emotional continuity with fans, or at least us fans able to watch the whole thing before deciding whether or not Deborah Chow had crapped on the fans, ruined Star Wars forever, and was gonna put Disney out of business by week's end. (Coz sadly enough, that's some of the shit that idiot haters hurl from their basements coz getting a life is hard.) But no, this was excellent Star Wars, and I'm proud as peach pie of everyone involved. It'd been a long minute since the words "May the Force be with you" had brought tears to my eyes, and Obi-Wan's parting wish for it to Leia reminded me once again why I fuckin' LOVE Star Wars. ❤️

[@ExpertAssass1n]

If you noticed when Obi slashes Vaders helmet, Obis saber is ONLY illuminating Anakins face, not the mask. I think this is to show Anakin truly never died despite what even he thought at this time.

[@Jennijune36]

There is good in him. I know it.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Yes and also the fact that Anakin never tried to reach out to Obi Wan, so naturally Obi Wan stopped trying after that fight, feeling that Anakin is totally lost(dead), which in a way he was.

@@Tronblue007 I've read that when actors do uncredited roles, they basically do it pro bono. He probably just did the scene without compensation, because it's well known he loved being in Star Wars and probably was just happy to reprise the role for this small instance.

[@5h4rp13]

I felt like they drew a lot of parallels and inversions between this fight and Vader's with Reva last week too. He appears so much more enraged and desperate for victory this episode because of how effortlessly and almost apathetically he took her down in the last as someone he didn't consider a threat or worthy of using his whole power against. I was actually shocked when he lunged at Obi-Wan with a scream the way he did because I think that's the most we've actually seen Vader care about a fight, going into a full-on unguarded attack out of pure rage rather than the cold, sweeping death machine we usually see

I'm surprised this wasnt mentioned. Obi-Wan was emotionally beat down because he thinks Anakins fall and the purge are his fault. When Vader fights Obi, he mentions "You didn't kill Anakin, I did." He slso says "I am not your failure." I believe Anakin said this line, not Vader. I believe Anakin was telling Obi-Wan, it's not your fault. This was the closure that Obi-Wan needed as Anakin helped him to move on passed the grief of the purge. This is why he seems more hopeful from this point on while he was in a very dark place before this fight. This was such a beautiful scene between the two.
