Third episode in and my only issue is getting confirmed more and more: building suspense around Leia and Obi-wan doesn't work. From a storytelling point, it's great seeing events unfold that we previously were not privy to, but... We know their fates. We know where they end up, we know how they die. So unles s Disney suddenly aims to rewrite that, trying to put them in situations where their lives are supposed to be at risk just doesn't really do anything and is a waste of time and effort. While, of course, on the flipside, playing the same game with the sidecharacters is a gamble because can we even be expected to care for the footnotes of history at this level?
So yeah, it's no wonder they bring in "the big guns" so soon and in such dramatic ways. There isn't much else to do to keep people engaged.
