Great episode but they should of had Vader and GI finish off Reva.

Yeah that is the only major issue I had with this episode. In the same vein, also why does Vader keep letting Obi Wan run off?

Because (as this episode tried to underline) he's over confident and blind to alternative scenarios. He doesn't keep letting Obi-Wan go, he just doesn't realise there's a will other than his own. Take the retro fight, time and time again he's sure he's got Kenobi where he wants him. He's just too dumb to realise that's not the case.

So basically the plot keeps Vader from doing what he wants.

Well, I suppose that's irrefutably true. But I think both this mini series and A New Hope show that Anakin / Vader overestimates himself and underestimates Kenobi.

Put simply, Obi-Wan might be less powerful but he's far more intelligent.

Well I wont argue about his escape in the latest episode, but Im not sure how Kenobis escape in the third episode was a result of Kenobi's intelligence or Vader's overconfidence. Its especially jarring seeing him let Kenobi get slowly dragged away 5 meters from him when he can pull down a spaceship.

Yep. Would have been fine if the next episode was not on the inquistive base.

If it was an episode where vader is chasing kenobi and just killing everything that tries to help him... then it would have been vader letting him go to 'play with his food' and draw out his supporters.

But literally they let fire stand between him and his prey after showing him effortlessly pull kenobi through the flames. Why couldnt he just pull him through the taller flames?
