They should have killed off Reva
Ah the good old 'child and Jedi in the trench coat' trick.
And you thought that space vespas was stupid.
I don’t who’s more annoying; Leia or Third Sister.
Wow, that was boring as fxck…
half way decent episode this week after a lackluster start, Obi Wan felt less like a wimp this time, actually using his lightsaber to deflect Storm Trooper blasts and also using the force a bit. Reva continues to be awful, only having 1 facial expression
Oh God no, not Wade! Not the character we don't even know, and couldn't give less of a care about. Why did you have to take such a nobody from us!?
Yawn, this show is just plain boring.
ahhh, the olde hide child in trenchcoat trick! that can fool anyone on any military base.
I'm not sure what's missing, but these episodes just feel off. I know it's not good to compare, but I'll do it anyway, The Mandalorian felt exciting and like the Star Wars Universe was filled with characters... This show feels like everything is stale and if it didn't have the nostalgia of Obi and Vader I don't think anyone would be interested.
This episode had some nice bits. The scenes with the bodies Obi found was very intriguing. That was the only thing I liked. They really did skip Obi getting better and it was glossed over like months had past but I believe it was days. I can't imagine that The Mandalorian would have done it this way.
I'm really losing interest and hoping that something happens soon to make this worth the wait.
I wish Vader would've killed her. She's just a weak character. Even a ten year old kid is not intimidated by her. It should have been Vader chasing Obi-Wan from the beginning if it is that much of a personal thing for him. The story could have been so much better.
I'll admit, this episode was rather weak. Convenient writing and all in all a remake of Obi-Wan on the death star. No real suspense since the only character that could have died is Tala.
That blue lightsaber appearing from the darkness
I dont know what everyone else is smoking, i thought this was the best episode so far
Is this really the Obi-Wan story that needed to be told? This dull, heartless checklist of Star Wars iconography that is stumbling through 4 out of 6 episodes with little to no momentum? I swear that I want to like this show and there are the tiniest glimpses that maybe they could have made something decent but so far this is not it.
Why would you leave the person you knocked out in the water in the middle of the room? And why not take his uniform?
Talla didn’t even see the secret droid before Obi when she can see the security system lol
You just watched your fellow solider die and the first thing you don’t do is radio it in to let them know a Jedi is onboard?
Those blasters has got to be the most inaccurate weapons in the galaxy lol, and lets not talk about a robot that isn’t 100% accurate 100% of the time. Oh i get it the good guys can use the same blasters and be accurate but if an enemy has it they miss half the time lol
So you telling me the Lightsabers can block plane blasters too :man_facepalming_tone3: what is this thing made of ?
And last but not least, she put a tracker on the girl before even knowing Obi was alive? And if it was to see where the cell is why almost kill them lmao. Ok.
That was the dumbest final twist I’ve seen in a long time.
It basically renders all the tension of the previous 30 minutes meaningless.
You asked for Star Wars, you got Star Wars: a boring 80s orchestral movie score, incompetent troopers guarding doors (it's exactly like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QveWgP-la5Y) and patrolling corridors, generic imperial interior design, light sabers and laser guns, stupid interrogation scenes (a dozen or so) and people recycling old quotes (like "the force is strong"). It doesn't look bad, the kid is still adorable, but it's super dull. I've seen that before. Is there no philosophical core to this show, no second layer, no baddies turning into the good ones or vice versa, no insight into alien societies and worlds? It feels hollow. Moses Ingram is the worst. Donate her a costume with a helmet so that she can disguise the fact that her face is only capable of one expression. No wonder her character can't even make a 10 year old kid talk.
PS: there's 50 or so dead people in this episode alone and I'm supposed to feel anything towards the death of that pilot, who is totally unknown to me?
How do we go from that incredible third episode to this incompetent piece of trash? They just took ep 2 and put it in a different skin. The last episode was the first time Obi-Wan has encountered Anakin in literally 10 years. Still, instead of giving us an interesting dive into Obi-Wan's psyche after facing his greatest failure, they give us this shit. Having Obi-Wan shrug off his injuries, glazing over that whole encounter like it never even happened, and having him sneak in and out of the Inquisitor base where apparently no one is doing their goddamn job. Stormtroopers who clearly have him in their line of sight, watch him hide in a hallway but walk past, the woman helping him talking through their plan step-by-step in a room literally FILLED with other Imperial officers and leaving another officer unconscious 5 feet away. But the biggest piece of Scooby-Doo level chicanery is having Obi-Wan and Leia pull a 2 kids 1 trenchcoat as they attempt to leave the base while walking passed dozens of Stormtroopers and officers. What the fuck am I watching? This is just as asinine as the chase scene from episode 1 except it was a whole 30-minute episode.
A very filler episode. A bunch of silly busy work to pad the runtime of an already short show. This show, after 4 episodes, has not made a case for why it exists. If in episode 6 Obi-Wan wakes up and says "it was all a dream", and the whole show never really happened, it would make more sense than this show has so far.
Watchable at best. It was 30 minutes but I was rolling my eyes and sighing so often it felt like 2 hours. I just wanted it to end.
The writing is just so bad & Lazy
Reva is so unbearable... She has ONE tone, one face , and just cannot act. (No I'm not racist before Disney try's to say that's why I dislike her)
The connivences are just too convenient
I WANT TO LOVE THIS SO BAD - I actually didn't mind the sequel trilogy, but this has just been SO BAD.
Well that was... something. This was disappointing because it COULD have been much better. The writing could've NOT been lazy.
Also, lol at all those stormtroopers near the end of the episode when the alarms were going off, walking around like nothing was happening - what's even the point of the alarm? They were moving with all the haste of a dorm full of college students on a Saturday night who had to evacuate the building for the fifth time this week because Kevin burnt his popcorn and set off the fire alarm again.
What a gloomy moment in which the Jedi tombs appear, the series continues to give us great moments between Obi and Leia.
I enjoy this nonsense at least 50% more in the scenes where the camera isn't handheld. Please just put it on a tripod.
This was the stupidest rescue action ever, the protagonists finally succeeded but probably only because their antagonists were even stupider than they are. First they have the underground swimming action with some creature looking like Cthulhu in the background, or maybe it was the Watcher in the Water which Vader has recently installed in his fortress after reading about Moria. The creature seemed interesting and I would like to see it in action. The whole swimming part was just idiotic to start with as Obi hasn't healed fully after his injuries in the previous episode and he would be incapable to do it at all. But why is Obi such a complete fool as to walk around in the imperial fortress dressed like an archetypal Jedi knight, screaming "This is Obi" in capital letters. After he kills a Storm-trooper he does not have the brains to come up with the idea of disguising himself as a Storm-trooper which the place was buzzing with. How can he be so utterly stupid as to not think of it I cannot understand. It would be totally natural thing to dress oneself as a Storm-trooper and it would have also helped the military girl in her underground mission as it would have done perfectly natural and normal to her to talk or walk with a Storm-trooper around the facilities. She comes across the idea Obi should disguise himself but at the very end. Not too smart of her either. But Obi seemingly has no brain cell left after he stopped being a Jedi. In the scene with the tombs I though maybe he got inspired by LotR and wanted to have an army of the dead which would have been most useful just then but apparently not.
“OBI-WAN: PART IV”: A COMMENTARY
:heart:100% :thumbsup:19 :thumbsdown:0 = Masterpiece!
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).
Another really enjoyable episode - sure a lot of tension's gone, knowing the fate of 2 of the 3 main protagonists, and the 3rd only being a relatively new character.
Decent all around
Pros
+The infiltration was believable enough
+I liked that they seemed to actually have a plan that was carried out for once
+The action was above average
+The Third sister isn't a total moron in this one although she still acts like one most of the time and her tracker is not the most reliable contingency considering that droid gets broken like every other episode
Cons
-Felt drawn out t the start when they could have been doing more
-Third sister still acting like a completely incompetent leader and somehow they try to justify how like 2 ships blew up half their impregnable base smh Like does Vader not care that she literally could've just monitored the cameras better and surrounded him with one or two of the other inquisitors and they'd already have Obi Wan lmao
-The spy girl getting found out and still just like getting away with it was comically stupid. All they needed to do was handcuff her until they got back
At this point I feel like I've gotten a decent grip on the show to say that the acting is always going to be pretty good and the plot is just going to be written as if the bad guys are all complete morons. Star Wars usually has great villains so maybe it just stands out more when the Third sister is like a minor comic book villain meant to get outmaneuvered by the good guys every single episode lol. I'm really hoping this doesn't end up retroactively making Vader into this as well.
Disney and Deborah Chow are taken a shit what was once cool
This was basically one of the levels from Fallen Order. Great game, but mediocre episode. Not sure why folks don’t like Reva, her and Leia are far and away the best characters for me. I like what Ewan is doing with Kenobi, but it’s odd that after struggling to move a thumb drive with the force he can all of a sudden hold up an ocean of water and deflect laser blasts like he hasn’t lost a step.
I think this is just suffering from below average writing and directing. Given the time period and lore of Vader hunting down and exterminating the Jedi, this could have been much better.
"Guess you're soldiers now, after all" - wow... :o :D
The tracker on Lola is unfortunate... :o (They should really scan for trackers (unknown signals)!)
The action sequences in the pilot were bad enough to be cringeworthy, and they've gotten progressively worse. Is Disney short on talent behind the camera these days or is talent no longer the priority?
Oof. If it wasn't for Leia and Tala I would have given up on this show.
Pretty boring episode. Time to upgrade those stormtroopers. They are totally useless.
Pretty good; your standard Disney Star Wars fare. There were some interesting ideas I hope they follow up on, and I liked the action in this one.
However, they can't keep having the same basic premise for each episode anymore: Inquisitors look for Obi-Wan, they find Obi-Wan, but then he manages to escape. Rinse and repeat for four episodes in a row. It's kind of lazy, and it's slowing down the momentum of the show. Hopefully, this will be rectified in future episodes.
Slight improvement but still dogshat. Ben Lightsaber sequence was cool, torturing a little girl was dogshat (way to go Disney!), contradicting continuity with the relationship between Ben and Leia is dogshat. Third Sister is DOGSHAT, just get rid of her! That acting is horrendous as is the "acting" of that Game of Thrones actress. She punching the Stormtrooper helmets was hilarious. Vader is what everyone wants to see goddamit!
Yup, seems like it's another show where they invested all in the first episodes. It's officially going downhill.
so... they more or less just remixed the finale of Jedi: Fallen Order?
One thing that this show got right is little Leia. It's nice to see that at this early stage of her life she was introduced about the meaning of sacrifice(by that unknown pilot who has died tragically for them to escape). But still, it's stupid that they let us care about somebody who is no one, it would be much better if Tala was the one who died, it will give much more impact on us, the audience because we know her and we care about her than Wade.
Another stupid thing the director, writers, and producers did was pushing identity politics (call me sir!) who the fuck cares about your preferred pronoun. And the most stupid thing they did and insulted the intelligence of Empire officers in that base. When Kenobi was in his disguise and walking beside him was little Leia, none of the Empire officers noticed that Kenobi walking on 4 legs under that disguise(this just brings us to disconnect ourselves to disbelief) until Black Karen inquisitor and only her to expose their identities and we have to wait for her character or else they've would actually escape that base easily. It's so dumb fuck idea! Jesus!
Again stupid show!
Now they’ve got Leia back let’s disable the tracker and start the rocky like training montage of Kenobi regaining his full force powers back., without them it’s a bit of a yawn fest., also much much more Vader!
Another vulgar display of poor acting, no facial expressions, no feelings, nothing, a robot, but we are all racist for criticizing the bad acting :rolling_eyes:... Also... Ice Wars, Star Cube :metal:
4/10
Poor
Get the fcuk outta here
I can not suspend my
disbelief any more.
That was a ridiculous
and unbelievable rescue.
Noway they would have
pulled that off in a high
security base like that.
And that at the end to
get out of there was so
predictable, all it needed
was the X WINGS to show up.
Don't get me started on
The ever annoying Reva
who can't Jedi mind fcuk
Leia to extract any
information and doesn't
Realise she's extremely
strong with the force,
nor does she report it to
Vader, what a load of
nonsense.
Then the Tala distraction
plan was idiotic and
eye rolling and the fact
that Reva engaged in
this cringy drawn out conversation well it
served as to making
Reva even more of an
incompetent fool.
I really hope Reva does
get what she deserves,
I thought this episode
would have been that
joy but some how she
managed to blag Vader
of all people with that
silly trick she pulled on
Leia, as if that makes up
for the colossal cluster
fcuk she's creating by
constantly having her
Best laid plans (lol)
go up in smoke.
That disguise at the end
lol was comical and the
fact they got that far was
laughable.
(Who was that guy
who died at the end on
our side, was he important
because they sure did
try to make it a massive
episode ending event
as though the Leader of
the resistance had just
been taken out or something,
Me I was trying to remember
what the guy looked like).
You want to pull an episode
like this off with any kind
of credibility then just
look at
The Mandalorian
season 2 finally
the rescue of baby Grogu
now that was
Frickin Awesome,
and that's how it's
done right (10/10).
Oh, I don’t expect that. Nice work Third Sister.
Half the time he needs in a bacta tank and he’s got his groove back after getting stomped like that? Starting to blur the line between forgery and homage.
Still very entertaining... if a bit stretching credibility that Obi-Wan's able to infiltrate one of the most secret bases and get right to the most secure places without there being any reasonable defense. Let's just forget the fact that his injuries which are still emphasized after his aborted bath in bacta, mysteriously vanish... It's good though, to see him pick up the sword again after that pitiful excuse (regarding his fighting abilities, not the fight itself, mind you) of a fight last episode. Still love Leia.
But, of course, the Third Sister's going to be diverted in her singlemindedness just at the point where she enacts some of her cruelty...
We are still flying through the story. A bit hard to believe it was so easy to enter the Fortress and then just walk out without anyone noticing. A bit tricky though to make Lola the tracker.
It was nice to see Tera Sinube; even if it was for 2 seconds and as a corpse. But overall, this episode felt completely pointless
Really? He isn't really Kenobi. Just a imposter. While nothing to hide, he is still using a blaster?! So uncivilized...
So Reva had the foresight to put a tracker on Leia's bot when she thought Obi-Wan was dead. Huh? Make it make sense.
Third Sister is just a henchwoman.
What the hell am I watching? I REALLY want to love this show, but it's just so difficult. The action choreography in this episode was beyond awful, and we are STILL getting way too much focus on Leia and Reva. I don't care about young Leia, and I certainly don't care about Reva. What I care about is Obi-Wan and Anakin! I want to explore the relationship between those characters - not the one between Obi-Wan and Leia. This show is a mess and my faith in it is practically all gone. I suspect we might get one decent scene between Obi-Wan and Vader in the final episode, but aside from that, I don't see this show becoming anything near what I had hoped for.
"Princess Leia: A Star Wars Story". This was so bad :(. This is a disservice to Obi-Wan as a character. I feel bad for Ewan, because this is not his fault. He's always sublime.
Enjoyable episode, but that chase at the end... It made no sense, it felt like Reva was just jogging as slow as she could towards Kenobi.
Plus, Kenobi already seems more skilled than the last episode, which is weird since I'm assuming he didn't have any training afterwards.
Other than that, great episode!
i enjoyed that episode... despite the terrible attempt at the last leg of escape. also, MAYA PEN15 ERSKINE!
Far too short of an episode this week. I would call it mid af.

Idk wtf Reva is trying to do with her voice, but it isn't working for me.
