Obi-Wan Kenobi…
Decent limited series? Average limited series with some really good moments? Below-average limited series with enough fan service to get by? Really good series that just needs some time to stew?
Just finished it, not totally sure what to think. The finale was good, and all kinds of heart warming, with some badass moments sprinkled in.
Obi-Wan’s motivation was clear… not to end Vader, but to find out whether there was any Anakin left for him to try and reach.
Vader’s motivations and the way he left things were more unclear… did his loss to Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan’s mercy, plant the seeds of his future betrayal of the emperor and act of love for Luke? It seemed like they were going for a “Vader lost to Obi-Wan, and now he’s kind of scared, kind of realizes he might not be able to bring himself to Kill Obi-Wan anyway, and has no desire to hunt him down again, regardless of what he tells the emperor.”
Obi-Wan made peace with everything, and seemed to have no fear of Vader searching him out on Tatooine… does that make any sense? Only if he knows his defeat of Vader, and subsequent act of mercy was enough to drive Vader away totally.
How does Reva get pigeon-holed into the rest of the new Star Wars universe? Or are we to believe she’s simply a normal person, living at peace now?
Lastly, a series on Leia making political moves while helping found the rebellion in the background sounds more entertaining now than it would have a year ago. I wonder if they have anything like that in the works.
