It was slightly better than the previous episode and there were fewer logical mistakes, though Darth Vader definitely needs to fire all his gunners as they could not hit the rebels' spaceship which was quite an easy target. I got the impression that they were just shooting colorful lasers into the space for fun to illuminate the sky as none of them passed close to the rebels. Of course it is really good news for the Jedi rebels that the imperial army is so lousy. Darth Vader is naturally stupid for not checking whether Obi is really dead, since as we know from "The Hobbit", the opponents who seem to have been buried often jump up from below the ice - or rocks as in this case. Though this may be attributed to Darth Vader's arrogance so maybe this is not such a big logical mistake. However, it seems that Obi does a serious mistake in deciding not to finish his enemy after all, is there any reason why he doesn't do it apart from the fact that both feature in the future films? In the show itself no such reason is given, it looks like he feels pity for his former student but it is hard to believe how can he pity him after all the atrocities Vader has committed. I guess he should have killed him as he could have guessed that when Vader gets better, he would concoct some terrible revenge. Obi seems to care about Leia and Luke but removing the threat of their evil dad would be the best he could have done for them. As for Luke, he seems to have some magical powers already as he is not killed even though he falls on the rocks, he could have broken his neck or become paralysed but escapes totally unscathed.On the whole, the little princess seems to me the most interesting character in the show, maybe she is too clever for her age but the scenes with her were rather enjoyable. Luke is rather lukewarm though ;) And last but not least, Vader apparently lives in Mordor now that it has been abandoned by Sauron ;)
