Kenobi - S1E5 (Spoilers)
Thread for the episode dropping at midnight
Forum Discussion
I am with Shaggy on the Leia-Kenobi part. I hate it when they contradict previously established elements of the lore instead of expanding it. They might yet fix it, might being the operative word.
About E05:
What I liked in this episode is that IF this was the last encounter between Kenobi and Vader than the New Hope line "i was but a learner when I left you" could be interpret as this episode without creating a full on contradiction and I personally would say it is damn clever. Willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Kenobi and Vader cannot meet many more times, but if this was the very last then i am sold on it.
I also really liked the "unstoppable Vader" theme even if it kinda ridicules him as a leader. I still liked it nonetheless.
Cons:
This digital de-aging is still in very-very-very tiny baby shoes. I didnt like it. I dont think it was particularly well executed either, but maybe that's a technological limitation.
I have ZERO sympathy for Reva. Her "deathscene" reminded me of that of king joffrey. I also think the role is way to challenging for the actress. I consider her play as bad acting. This, and the not particularly interesting story of the inquisitors makes me not care about her. Which is problematic to be honest. Do you guys root for her in ANY way?
FFS stop reviving ppl... Not cool man.
Red droid BAD, blue droid GOOD was way too primitive for my likings.
Overall I rate this episode 7/10
