Part IV turns the series into something of a heist movie, similar in style to Rogue One, where Ben and his new allies sneak into the dragon’s den to save Leia - and it's as tense as you'd expect it to be. This episode really puts Ben's old Jedi skills to the test, forcing him to rely on the Force more than before.
This is arguably Moses Ingram's best episode so far, and she is truly hitting her stride her when performing opposite the relentlessly impressive Vivien Lyra Blair. Indira Varma is convincing in her double take as a secret rebel leader and a fake Imperial officer.
The narrative is very straightforward and simple, but it keeps adding fuel to the fire at all times, adding to the tension and keeping a good pace throughout. The short lightsaber sequence in the dark room is gorgeous and the action scenes that follow are the best ones yet!
I love how they continuously visualize Ben's trauma and PTSD after everything he's been through with Anakin. It's not something we've seen often in Star Wars! I also love how well this series keeps mixing the original trilogy (the bacta tank, the look of the Empire) with the prequel trilogy (Mustafar system, diving underwater).
