Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

[Guest 7034872]

Star wars is essentially a 1930s/1940s movie serial in which they just skip the cliffhanger and jump directly to the save.

Yeah, I mean, you totally could feel it coming. The musical score, the people standing around in dramatic poses like it's some kind of face-off, the camera work: it all proudly announced, "Here we go!"

But it was cool.

I no longer have any residual reservations about Ms. Imgram's acting work. I don't think it's that her character grew on me so much as that she grew into it. The emotional range and subtlety of posture, tone, and intonation she demonstrated in this episode was great. Even when she was right in front of Ewan McGregor, he didn't steal the scene from her: they were both right there in the scene 100%. I did not see an actress trying to accomplish something in this episode: all I saw were the characters on the screen.

Yeah, in this episode she was less the negative stereotype of the "uppity black woman" (loud, pushy, overbearing) than she was previously, but that may be because her character was dealing one-on-one with a child and not other adults/rivals/enemies, so we will see if she falls back into that in the final two episodes.

Reva's interactions with Leia were great. To me, those were some highlights of the episode.

Jesus, is that how people view the character? To me, she was your standard evil user of the Force. It didn't occur to me that she was what anyone thought of as a stereotype. That's just so unfair to Ingram Moses.

1) According to an Italian Star Wars fan site, two of the "aliens" were likely to be Master Coleman Kcaj and Tera Sinube.

Not Tera! He was cool and taught Ahsoka some valuable lessons.

2) Another explanation might have been that the death of the Grand Inquisitor has been kept secret for the rank and file. In any event, in some why he must come back or not be really dead since I don't think that they want to invalidate Rebels.

The organization was only in existence for the 19 years in between Order 66 and the original movie, and none of the ones with an actual title of Sister or Brother were replaced when they died, so far in canon at least, so if the Grand Inquisitor is alive for Rebels, he had to survive Reva's attack. Plus, no one else of the current Sisters and Brothers looks like the Grand Inquisitor, so they can't get promoted to the spot. And I really do not see this show invalidating a major part of the plot of Rebels.

Yeah, I should have worded my question more clearly to be: was that confirmation that the Grand Inquisitor is still alive? I agree that they don't want to invalidate Rebels.

I was wondering if that might not be a variation on the "frozen in carbonite" thing. There were no visible wounds and they all seemed to be standing, from what I can remember.

Hmm. Obi-Wan described it as a tomb, so I assumed that meant they were all dead. I expect he'd be able to sense them through the Force if they were still alive, even if they're "frozen".

OK, the fourth episode was fantastic.

Leia is basically Kim Bauer (from 24) and Liam Neeson's daughter in that she has been kidnapped

 

[Flamestrike]

The only one I (sort of) recognized was the kid in the youngling outfit.

They kept his training helmet on him, all the way from the Jedi temple to Mustafar, including when being frozen in Amber?

I found that super weird.

Yeah it was a bit weird. Maybe they put it back on him as they were sticking him in there. They looked very trophy-ish, along with all the lightsabers on display in the other room.

If you listen to Vader's conversation with Reva in Ep 3 he doesn't actually confirm GI is dead. He just allows Reva to believe it.
