Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn prior movies, Kenobi expresses his distaste for blasters, referring to them as "uncivilized," and comparing them to the light saber, "an elegant weapon for a more civilized age." However, during this limited series, Kenobi uses blasters very heavily, even after he retrieves his light saber. This is one of many indications that he has been out of touch with The Force, and reluctant to use the powers that he obtained while training as a Jedi. Could also simply be he is reluctant to openly use his lightsaber given the Jedi purge after Order 66 and his motive to stay hidden.
- GoofsDuring the close up of Vader's feet when he walks toward where Obi-Wan is hiding, you can see the tracks of the camera dolly. Occurs twice.
- Quotes
Obi-Wan Kenobi: What have you become?
Darth Vader: I am what you made me.

Featured review
Part III
We've all been afraid of that tall dark lord for decades, but I don't think anyone has ever been as afraid as Obi-Wan Kenobi was at the end of the last episode. That look of fear in his eyes was a sure indicator of what was to go down between them in this week's episode. And sure enough, this week we see Obi-Wan and Leia finding themselves on a planet none of them know where they have to escape Imperial stormtroopers and Darth Vader himself. This episode delivered all the feelings that I had expected to be feeling, although it takes time to get there.
So far, this show is presenting a consistent level of entertainment. The first two episodes did a great job of setting up the story, while this episode is great at setting up the conflict. Now the chess pieces are moving, and all characters are involved in this game. The relationship blossoming between Obi-Wan, and Leia is pure and sweet, and it adds a lot more weight to Leia's plea of help to Obi-Wan during the original "Star Wars." There's a bond developing between them, a bond that gives the message a new meaning. I will say, though, the episode used a lot of time on this principle, which was fine, but also a little draining. A lot happened in this episode, but a lot of it was overshadowed to develop the characters. Again, that is normally a good thing, but it feels like it was a little too much for this episode alone. However, it all leads up to a third act that delivers on the promise of last week's episodes. They're not wasting a lot of time on the conflict between Obi-Wan and Vader and it led to a moment in this episode that was heartbreaking, yet awesome in how one-sided it was. This Obi-Wan is not fighting at 100%, and therefore he's no match for a vengeful Vader. This is not the fight that we expected, and it's also not the final fight that we're getting, I'm sure of it. This was another good episode in what's looking to be a great show.
With "Part III," this show is finally fulfilling on the promise that they set up when it was announced, and so far, it's everything I wanted. There's a lot happening in this episode and it takes away from the small moments, but it still leads up to a very satisfying moment that's just the beginning.
