Vader was sufficiently menacing and evil. Obi Wan is still a chump. Cant you switch that force stuff back on bro?
Then Vader chumped out. It's like he forgot he can use telekinesis, crush things at range, leap with the force or throw his lightsaber. Just looked on as Kenobi was getting evacuated.
On a related note, it reminded me of a scene we were apparently supposed to get in R1. A bunch of Rebel mooks sitting around a table talking about this bogeyman evil cyborg murdery space wizard... then Vader turns up (breathing first) and then from the darkness murders the lot of them. It evolved into the R1 hallway scene (literally the best thing Disney has done to date).

I don't think he forgot. I think he's just indulging himself and enjoying the chase.

Yeah, no I get that. It's just the little bit of dialogue along the lines of:
Kenobi: if anyone asks you're my daughter
Leia: (mutters) Granddaughter maybe...
...that didn't ring true for a kid whose used to being the daughter of a character played by Jimmy Smits, an older actor who looks it.

So maybe the Grand Inquisitor is dead? Or else he's going to pop up again somewhere and go "Surprise?! Didja miss me?" If he is dead, and he doesn't come back, then there's a bit of a continuity error there.
Was it just me or did the glow of the lightsabers look different, as if they were using those LED light-up ones instead of relying on post-production? The glow just seemed to be a whole lot more intense - Obi-Wan looked like he was practically blinded by the light of his.

Yeah, I don't think they're going to be able to get him in to do voice work for too much longer.
That, and maybe there's still a teeny bit of internal conflict going on in there. He might not be quite ready to murder his old friend and master like he did those poor innocent people in the village. (As an aside, the scene of Vader getting put together after his bacta bath was awesomely creepy. "More machine than man" indeed!
That's just her being sassy. I'm sure Carrie would've loved it.

1) He has a greying unkempt beard. To a kid, that adds decades.
2) She is being cheeky.

Well, Vader can still do terrifying just fine. I had chills when he caught up with Kenobi.
I was really missing the John Williams score during their confrontation, though.
That escape tunnel has very strange properties. The woman who was helping them (not sure if we actually got a name for her on-screen) was able to go all the way back and then get out to the quarry area without encountering Reva, who was standing at the start of it. And then Reva was able to get to the other end of it without encountering Leia along the way.

another mixed bag
Reva has become my most annoying star wars character. Seems to be the smartest 1 out there. sucks the life out of scenes
Kenobi/Ben has become unlikeable. This is a jedi master? regardless of his reluctance to use the force or what ever hes doing his part in the fight scene was pathetic
Vader just killing people like Voorhees. Seemed out of character. to me he always came off as a corrupted knight not some sadistic killer. His reaction to Reva doing her own thing also seems out of character other than the dont fail me
the meeting place? Really they pick this fortified imperial area for a rendevous? Why didnt the driver tell the first 4 stormtroopers he picked up ?
Reva/Vader all get to the planet almost right away. The long tunnel that the kid is jumping around and yet everyone else is in and out so fast
i swear i heard a female stormtrooper at the checkpoint?
the good
good to see the scout droid
good to see a guest appearance from a GOT actor
