Well ive watched it a few times... and it appears 3rd sister was never directly seen by luke.

So that just leaves Leia as the broken continuity.

OWK told her to keep things secret, so I took that as her being safe in the transmission and not being like hey old buddy!

Granted you'd think she'd be more upset when he dies in ANH.

Why would she keep it secret in that case?

Shes sending a secret message to obi wan that details where kenobi is, that bale is a rebel supporter, that alderaan is basically run by what the empire views as terrorist cells, that the stollen plans are on the droid... but after giving all that secret info up, she wants to keep it secret that she knows the person shes sending the message to?

Vader knows shes a rebel, hes chasing a rebel ship that he knows has the death star plans. She just left Scarif with said plans.

What is she protecting by not asking him personally?


Kenobi's message to Leia about keeping it secret is more about telling a 10 year old not to go around yelling i know a jedi to everyone. Because kids do things like that, though Leia wouldnt do that based on how shes shown to be in the show and what happened to her... but its not a way to close the gap they created in the story

Its not like how Luke was handled. Owen tells him tusken raiders are hitting farms and what to do if they tell him to run.

He only catches a glimpse of a hooded figure in the canyon. Could have been a tusken. She uses the force to make him fall, but he could simply think he slipped as he was hopping from spot to spot.

He sees a red glow chasing him and a red glow in the room he climbed out of... he hears a saber, but thats something that is a bit different from saber to saber and hes not seen or heard one before, so its an unknown sound to him thats different from the ANH sound anakins saber makes.

That had potential to be very bad, but they made it work.

Leia is not the same situation.

It felt like the first 4 episodes were building up to a midsession cliffhanger. Then episode 5, which would have been the midseason cliffhanger, was rushed through because they remembered there is only 2 episodes left. So a lot of what should have been flushed out was rushed into a big mess. Which led to episode 6 being what felt like 4 episodes smashed into 1.

I feel like there wasn’t anything to gain with the fight between Vader and kenobi because they both had to survive. The previous fight worked because he was making kenobi suffer. The only way this fight works is if LV burries kenobi under the rubble and reva comes in for revenge. Which leads to kenobi escaping. This way kenobi leaves with an ounce of hope seeing reva both attempt to help him/redeem herself.

This way also eliminates the whole Luke mess that was just too hard to believe. You have 2 non force welders that could easily be choked to death but instead she pulls her punches?

We are going to need a new Obi-Wan character that is beyond GL

Ridiculous that a star destroyer cant blow up a tiny ship in all that time. I dont want to hear anyone complain again about episode 8 ship chase ever again!

This episode really messes up Leias Episode 4 speech and how she doesnt care about Ben fighting DV on the death star or care when he dies.

Why didnt Ben ask Reva how she found Luke? Seems like something he would be worried about. Plus ask her who else knows.

C. how is she even moving with a hole in her gut

it's just a hole. Maul surived far worse

Yet Qui Gon didnt

This was touched on. Anger and hate drove them to survive. Reva, maul, heck even look at Darth Sion in lore. QGJ had no hatred or anger thus didn’t have that power to survive such a mortal wound.

Didn’t know Cal was a dark side character.

For me it was really crucial they do not break the continuity with the new hope. They did break it with Leia+Ben, and in this episode at least they made an effort to somewhat fix it. I think that was a hard "F" but I do appreciate the effort. Try harder next time.

I dont think they broke the continuity with Luke, so I am kinda happy with it.

I do think they broke the continuity with DV+OW, the new hope lines dont make much sense anymore, the previous episode would have been a lot better "last encounter" when OW really schooled and humbled Anakin one more time, but in this episode OW didnt really teach him anything just went on for a total destruction. I guess if you consider these two episodes as one encounter then we are okay, but... meh.

I personally always considered the "I will do what I must" mindset equal of the first line of the jedi code. In my mind that was cool, invoking (briefly) the essence of the jedi. Now, if you do what you must, dont end up tearing and mumblng "I am sorry". Like... No. I think that scene made very little sense. If your friend is "truly dead" remind me again what exactly is stopping you from killing a Sith Lord?

And please dont call him Darth, we have already gotten through that pain, that wound healed nicely, no need to fix it.

The visuals were truly amazing, the cuts during the fightscene were a little bit too often for my likings, but otherwise cool coreography.

QGJ was also a nice touch. So was Palp.

The lack of object permanence of freaking spaceships carries a risk of potential brain damage. Yes, the Star Destroyer vanished, Owen and Beru did not notice OW landing (or did not react to it in any logical way), OW might have been sensing the future, and then we dont have major issues with the timeline BUT the whole storytelling suggests otherwise.

I personally dont buy into the "you chose not to" slogan. She was unable to cross the line, that's not really a choice. Granted, she is fundamentally different, bc she is unable to cross the line but it's not really a matter of choice. Or maybe it is, but I am way more than sceptical on this one. I chose not to run as fast as Bolt, yay, I am unique and special now. Also, at the end of ep05 I had to recognize I have zero sympathy for her character, and I found none in this episode. If she gets a spinoff, i am definitely not going to watch that.

I dont think the season was outstanding in any way, it has some amazing scenes, but they were mixed up with chases (oh my gaaaawd) and meaningless deaths. I think it was one of the better jokes that I heard about this season: "Spoiler, Luke is not going to die. Or wait. Maybe he will and then they will resurrect him too?!" I dont mind having seen it but it is unlikely I would rewatch it as many times as the OT or the R1 for example.

Don't you know it only has one laser blaster on that Star Destroyer? Sure looked like it.

What bugs me the most isn't even how she goes from being left for dead to being on Tatooine in mere minutes...what really irks me is why we should feel sorry for her. Clearly they're trying to say she nearly became a product of what Lord Vader did all that time ago, but why was she so bloodthirsty that she went all that way with a hole in her body to stalk and murder a young boy?

Nowhere in that conveniently scrambled message did it mention what's so important about the boy other than Kenobi being concerned about him. Is that enough reason to want to murder a young boy? You could even see her trying to fight her compassion. I'm sorry you don't get any sympathy from me for attempting to murder a child for no Godly reason. At least for
no reason the show cares to explain to us anyway.

Because he's not a perfect robot-jedi and still have feelings ? We witnessed on several occasions in different shows that "There is no emotion, there is peace." was not Obi-Wan's forte.
