- Ewan is great in the role, and it was nice to see him reprise it.
100% agree. Despite the less than inspired writing.....Ewan nailed the character (again) and made the series (along with Hayden)
- I don't think Leia should have been in this show at all (as a main character).
Yeah....again....it just comes down to the writing. I didn't mind her being used in the story but I just don't think she was utilized correctly. I think the character was over exposed throughout.....would have rather seen her have the same screen time as the young Luke....there but really not important as we know all we need to know about them.
- Most Darth Vader scenes very well done. The voice was spot on. There's folks saying that the two of them shouldn't have met again until ANH, but I'm not too bothered by it.
Agreed....all the Vader stuff was pretty well done. I think the only 'flaw' I'd say was present in what we saw was him leaving Reva alive. I think the big wigs at Disney got in the way of that and ruined that whole thing by making them reshoot that scene and not allowing him to kill off Reva....poor choice on their part because that character is dull and will be a waste to do a spin off on her. But, I actually think what we were given between Vader and Kenobi enhances their next meeting. And for those of you who haven't seen this (
https://youtu.be/to2SMng4u1k ) it's a pretty cool fan made extended battle scene from ANH.
- Reva's story arc was super obvious, so there was no surprise when she couldn't carry out what she was intending to do on Tattooine, and no real tension around it as you already knew the outcome anyway.
Not only was none of her arc a surprise or super obvious....that character simply didn't need to be there. It was forced in to a story that didn't require it and it stuck out like a sore thumb.
- The Grand Inquisitor was wasted as a character.
- What happened to the other two inquisitors? They just dropped off the face of the planet, seemingly..
This goes to the Reva storyline issue and why she wasn't needed.......there were/are already 'established' characters in The Grand Inquisitor and his minions that were not only more interesting but more suited for the story. Another example of a horrible 'miss' by Disney to utilize good characters by the lack of solid writing and trying to force a character into a spot where she wasn't needed due to more (in the SW universe) qualified and believable characters already existed.
but what's the motivation for Kenobi letting Vader live there?
That was pretty consistent with his character....especially the one built through the 'Clone Wars' series.
Don't need a season 2, don't need a spinoff of any of these characters.
Please email Disney with this message
My other beef with the finale is how Obi-Wan just turned on his abilities, and then wiped the floor with Vader.
I didn't have an issue with that. Kenobi always was a powerful and mindful Jedi....the motivation he found that 'unlocked' or helped him 'recall' that connection to the Force was believable to me.
