After five pretty rough episodes, Obi-Wan Kenobi finally offers up an episode worthy of the Jedi Master himself.
This was easily the best episode of the six-episode run, though I don’t think it was enough to justify the show’s existence. You can’t offer up a live-action Star Wars show that’s only 1/6th good while the rest is mediocre at best.
The entire fight was pretty terrific this time around. Obi-Wan is buried but his visions of Luke and Leia revive him and he blasts his way out and shows off Force powers like he’s never displayed before, raising a fleet of boulders to rain down on Vader’s head before absolutely destroying his former pupil, leaving him wheezing for breath, his helmet smashed and his machinery fried.
I know why Obi-Wan let’s Anakin live. It wouldn’t really make sense to kill him because he’s in the original trilogy. But just in terms of the story in this show, in isolation, why doesn’t he kill him? If he’s accepted that this isn’t his former friend and pupil, that he is now a killer and a monster and a clear and present danger to Luke, Leia and the fledgling rebellion why not just end the bastard now? I don’t think the show does a very good job explaining that.
This is the weaker story of the two. I think the bones of an interesting revenge tale were there throughout the season but it just never really came together in a very compelling way. I also don’t love that both Luke and Leia have now had these big, exciting, traumatizing experiences. Leia was supposed to be a sheltered princess. Luke was always dreaming of more excitement as though his like had been totally humdrum rather than, you know, getting chased by lightsaber-wielding Inquisitors.
So this was far from a perfect episode, but it did the best it could wrapping up these storylines and giving us a satisfying ending for our titular hero. He’s off on a new adventure when the credits roll, lending some credence to the idea that a second season could, indeed, happen. If it does, they need to abandon Skywalkers of all types—children and dark Sith lords—and focus on Obi-Wan and other slices of the galaxy.
