Spoilers 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series [Spoiler Discussion]

With one episode left, I predict she doesn't survive the series. We'll see.

Well....anyway, she's uncovered the transmitter (thanks to Plot Convenience II) telling her all she needs to know about Obi-Wan, the kids and Owen, so you can bet she's headed for a certain planet, just ahead of Obi-Wan, who will be busy dropping Leia off on Alderaan.
 
I don't think that makes sense. We've seen Vader kill lots of people who were not threats to him. He's killed innocents civilians. He's also killed imperial officers just for being insolent. They were certainly no threat to him. Vader does not seem like the kind of guy that let's you live just because you are not a threat to him.

Heck, we are also told that Vader does not let anyone live who knows his true identity. Reva knows his identity. So why only wound her and let her go? It is uncharacteristic behavior for Vader IMO.

The only way I can justify it is that Vader and GI wanted her to die a slow, painful death.

I agree it's wonky and a bit illogical. And this show always has at least a few WTF moments per episode. But, IMO, the good is outweighing the bad.
 
Not a bad episode but it does feel slow, especially the troops landing and then we have to have a separate scene of the inquisitor landing. Feels like they are filling time.

Also, giving Anakin a green light saber would have made more sense. That or giving him a robotic hand...

Anakin was a knight in ROTS, they clearly wanted him to still be a padawan. And he never used a green lightsaber except when he "borrowed" one at Geonosis.
 
I love that they faithfully reproduced Anakin's Episode II lightsaber. The weapons and outfits are a match for AOTC.
 
I love this shot of Obi-Wan. He's rocking the AOTC Era mullet like a boss.

He is toying with her. She is not a threat, even knowing his identity. She's on the run and will suffer and die.
 
A good episode, with the truth about the Third Sister coming out. I haven't seen much of any Star Wars cartoon series - was the twist about her being a Jedi youngling part of that?

The ruse about the Third Sister being there to fight Vader was a good move.

It was fun seeing a de-aged Hayden Christensen as well.

Third Sister was created for this series, she wasn't in Rebels.

The twist about her being a youngling was part of this show. :shrug:
 
Except the villain is NOT a chump, because she's not the villain. Vader is the villain of the story.

She was the primary antagonist for more than the show's first third. The fact that there's another villain and that she's been revealed to have additional layers doesn't remotely negate my point.

Yeah, I can't remember the point I was trying to make with my original question.

And that's without a drink. :D

But I liked the Youngling twist, regardless of my rambles.
 
OK, here's what I've gotten done so far with the wall of aurebesh: -
Ipb6x2a.png

Most of it speaks for itself, a bunch of names that are deep cut references to rather obscure sources: -
  • Roganda Ismaren & Valin Halcyon were also both on the wall in 'Part III' and are/were an Alderaan Jedi youngling in 'Children of the Jedi' who grew up to become one of Palapatine's consorts (eww, on several levels), and Corran Horn's Jedi father respectively. (Didn't spot Corran himself this time around, but his mother was there, so I probably just missed him.)
  • Drake Lo'gaan & Ekria were both characters in a 'Hyperspace' club only SWCW based webstrip on the official site back around the time RotS came out.
  • Corwin Shelvay was a character featured in an old WEG suppliment.
  • Tiberus may be a reference to some NPC in the 'Galaxies' MMO.
  • Aaida similarly could be a reference to an NPC in KotOR II, though that may not be the case as it would make her the only non-Jedi character in the bunch. I could just have mistranslated this one as there are other characters next to her name (that I marked black for low confidence) but I can't be sure what they are.
  • Drue: is another weird one as he seems to be a non-Jedi, but seems more likely since the source in another WEG book (and I'm 90% sure these names all came from Pablo, so that would track.)
  • "Jov" may actually be a typo and is supposed to be "Joy" since the aurebesh character for 'Y' looks like a 'V' and visa-versa, and the word below it is "light", so that would make a little more sense.
  • ETA: Djinn Altis was in there too (right above the order symbol) and is another returning name from Part III, that came from 'Children of the Jedi'. I somehow managed to hide his name before exporting to PNG.

The two Jedi symbols are of course the seal of the order and the padawan crest (twice).
Most of the rest are a handful of what one presumes to be Jedi aphorisms and proverbs, a few of which are repeated, one is from the Jedi Code itself. "Only Strength Rules" seems a little out of place. (Did . . . did they give Maul a lift through the path at some point? This feels like something he'd write . . .)
There's also a bunch of seemingly random characters that are probably mostly initials, though some seem to include numbers. Droids perhaps? They could mean something, or they could be random, or more behind the scenes easter eggs from crew and the like since nothing is really jumping out at me (and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend house trawling through character names looking for matches!)
There's still more that I can't quite make out. Some look like names but I can't identify enough letters to even make a guess. I also left out those I made a run at guessing but just seemed like gibberish, on the assumption my guesses were wrong.

I don't think that makes sense. We've seen Vader kill lots of people who were not threats to him. He's killed innocents civilians. He's also killed imperial officers just for being insolent. They were certainly no threat to him. Vader does not seem like the kind of guy that let's you live just because you are not a threat to him.

Heck, we are also told that Vader does not let anyone live who knows his true identity. Reva knows his identity. So why only wound her and let her go? It is uncharacteristic behavior for Vader IMO.
You're missing one vital factor here: cruelty. Slaying her then and there would be too merciful, and I'm sure GI and/or Fifth Brother were promised a fulfilling hunt after she was cut loose. So he wounded her, left her stranded on a dirtball with no ship, and let her bleed and drag herself away.
I'd say that's 100% consistent with Vader since treachery (real or perceived) is a bit of a sore point for him.
