#if he decided to murder his former master
Just in case, spoilers ahead!
It was fun to see Vader (double fun knowing it was Hayden) but good god I’m absolutely against the idea of him and Kenobi having any direct contact with each other between RotS and ANH What was this for? Just for angst and drama?
The duel itself was pretty good, I laughed how Kenobi decided to run away (it gave Jack Sparrow a vibe), only from the perspective of the story, it just spoils their last meeting aboard the Death Star in my opinion. And if they get together every episode or two, I’ll lose all respect for this show.
Besides, Vader murdering villagers just so is not the Vader I know from movies and other sources. Yes, he is capable of genocide, and he has murdered a defenseless population more than once, but it would have been different if he had demanded an answer / giving him the Jedi. And so, this show of strength was good for nothing other than to make our main hero suffer emotionally. Eh.
Also, I don’t understand how the Third Sister caught up with the escaping Leia. The girl ran through the tunnels half the episode and the Inquisitor still caught her so easily? In general, I don’t like Leia’s involvement at such a young age in the conflict between the Jedi and the Empire. Feels too much too fast, instead of letting her grow up into seeing the flaws and crimes of Empire of her own. Good damn, give Leia a good (safe) childhood, she has the rest of life full of pain and loses to endure, she doesn’t need to witness people dying / see the corpses at such young age.
On the plus side, little Leia was fun to watch and it was also nice to see stormtroopers acting like humans when they hitchhiked. Admittedly, I am surprised that of all the planets they mentioned Jabiim, because it’s a planet where some indigenous peoples thought Jedi were eating children, and after what happened during the Clone Wars, it’s one of the last places I would send a Jedi.
I’m not going to stop watching this show just yet, but it hasn’t impressed me so far.
