One thing I’m wondering is Reva said she found a connection between Leia’s father and Kenobi… do you think she means Bail or Anakin?

Bail Organa, she even pointed out they worked together closely during the clone wars

2. I don't think its strange since Kenobi was living in a small bubble isolated from news and things, he went to work, he looked after Luke and ended his day like so for 10 years

He's clearly lost track of time. He even asked Leia how old she was.

That line could have so easily been rewritten to be like "How can you only be 10 years old?" or "Are you sure you're only 10 years old?"

Just like he didn't talk directly about Padme, he doesn't want to let on to Leia how much he knows about her. It also gave another interaction between them instead of an adult just talking at a child.

I thought it was a great start, with Kenobi starting out thoroughly beaten down and set in his hiding ways. Then a series of fairly small events build up, we can see he thinks about taking action each time, but tries to just keep to himself. In the context of TV show length episodes, I think they did a great job of showing his reluctance to do anything then building up to leaving his hiding place.

Has to be Bail. That's the whole premise of using Leia to draw Kenobi out.

Also she already knows Anakin is LV. She wouldn't need to "find" the connection between Anakin and Kenobi.

I still find it a bit stretching for Kenobi to not have known Anakin was LV. He and Yoda saw the recording, so he knew that roughly about the same time Anakin "died", Sidious anointed a new apprentice. Maybe he or Yoda couldn't possibly have realized how much power Sidious had for him to be able to bring someone back to life, but neither of them had even just some suspicion about this timing?

He knows that Amazon became Vader, but he also thought that Vader died on Mustafar when he cut his limbs off and left him to burn alive. He’s also been basically living under a rock for 10 years in the same mundane routine so I don’t think it’s a stretch that he hasn’t heard about Darth Vader still being around

He knows about Vader and Anakin being the same, he just didn't think Anakin was still alive

I agree, the show spent time establishing his isolation and mundane day-to-day life.

So the show isnt over yet... but currently we have two plot holes.

1. Leah meets ben, knows hes a jedi whos friends with her dad... and then sends him a message on an r2 unit where she talks about he and her father worked together in the clone wars... never mentioned that time the guy also saved her life with floating powers and broke her out of the cell the nappers put her in.

2. Grand Inquistor is seemingly killed by 3rd sister... but Kannon kills him later in season 1 of Rebels.

That said i liked it.

Only thing i didnt like was 3rd sisters jump off that building to start her run to kenobi.

Looked weird.

Other than that, it was great. Liked 3rd sisters ruthless style.

Bring on Vader
