Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

[Flamestrike]

Also, she's a Sith.

No, she's not. Dark sider, but not a Sith.

 

[MarkB]

The ever-flexible Inquisitor lightsabers get a new trick - they can be split in two if you fancy dual wielding. Those things are ridiculous.

 

[BrokenTwin]

I always wondered why the Sith keep using their boring basic lightsabers when they're outfitting their elite mooks with swiss army equivalents. It spins, it splits, it actually has a hand guard!

Edit: Removed colorful language.

another mixed bag episode

Totes.

That lightsaber fight was really bad. enjoyed the crushing of the ship and the flashbacks

Spoiler: SPOILERS

One of my first quarrels was with the flashbacks: the de-aging of McGregor and Christensen was, to my eye, as bad as Tarkin's in Rogue One. Book of Boba Fett already proved they can do the de-aging properly via the latest deep fake tech, but this episode just did not deliver on that at all. This wasn't just, "Hey, the valley is uncanny again." This was, "Who the <bleep> is that?? Wait!--that's supposed to be Anakin?! What, were they drunk when they did this CG???" Honestly, I still wonder if perhaps they were.

the acting is really bad at times again.

I didn't see much that I minded in the acting work; my quarrel is with the writers this time.

Spoiler: MORE SPOILERS

They pulled Reva's motivation-switcheroo reveal and the Grand Inquisitor and Vader's double-cross out of thin air with little more than a, "So yeah, that happened." The actors were fine to my eye; the writers, though, were drunk again.

I give it a B- or maybe a B, which is disappointing coming after that last episode (a solid A).

Shame nobody thought to use a grenade earlier. That battle would have been over much quicker.

But then there would have been no rising tension, nor Valiant Sacrifice©.

I think Vader answered that question rather definitively this week. Sith Lords rarely need the weapons they do carry.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

She isn’t a Sith. Only Palpatine and Vader are. The rest are just dark side Force users.

Back during the days of the Old Republic, there was an entire planet of Sith. That "there can only be two" thing used to refer to the Sith Lord and his/her apprentice, not the Sith in general. So just like you can have thousands of Jedi, you can have thousands of Sith.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

and yeah abdominal wounds are apparently only a minor inconvinience

Sith, and dark siders in general, just seem to be very hard to kill and keep dead. Something about the dark side seems to sustain them, while the light side users seem to be more willing to let go when near death.
