"I have to face him, master. Whether he dies or I do, this ends today."
Proceeds to trounce Vader, acknowledges there is no Anakin anymore, and then still refuses to finish him and walks off.
It's so hilariously bad.
How many ****ing villains in shows have we seen not get killed because of either something they schemed, or events taking place that prevented the hero from finishing the villain?
It's like these writers all sat around and all they could think of was "Obi Wan walks away again, cementing him as the most unfathomably stupud dumbass in the universe".
Also, Vader talks MAD SHIT for someone who got his legs and arm cut off, and was left a melting screaming torso the last time they had a true throwdown.
"That's why you will always lose"
Lmmfgdao. Yeah, to win you have to be dismembered and set on fire amirite? [Reply]
They really should have put the Qui Gon scene before the Vader fight. Would have explained Obi Wan suddenly becoming powerful enough to beat Vader. [Reply]
I got some big time tears going when Obi-Wan was telling Leia about her parents, and the Leia theme from the original Star Wars came in.
MY EMOTIONS
Also love LOVE LOVE the way they used "hello there." They kept that powder dry the whole time :-).
Vader getting his helmet cut open on the opposite side where Ashoka got him in Rebels was pure poetry. Ashoka gets Vader's right side, Obi-Wan gets Vader's left side, emphasizing the master/student relationship between each party. (Obi to Anakin's left, Anakin to Ashoka's left).
In the end they both leave him and neither can get through to Anakin.
Only Luke, who stays with him until the end, no matter what, can fully unmask Vader.
Vader's lines really show you what a psychotic break Anakin has had. He's mentally ill. He's a victim.
Qui-Gon was perfect. Just the way Ewan said "Master Qui-Gon" and Liam said "Obi-Wan."
Exactly how they pronounced their lines in the Phantom Menace.
We need a season 2 with Obi-Wan absolutely wrecking the flora and fauna of Tatooine in defense of Luke.

Obi-Wan found his purpose under the rocks. That's what gave him the strength. His purpose shifted from attacking Vader to defending the light. [Reply]

I haven’t watched the finale yet but this sounds like another good example with a main gripe I have about these Disney+ shows that I posted a few days ago.

He does not sense Leia in Return of the Jedi. He senses Luke's fear about Leia and Luke's wanting to protect her....Luke gives it away in his thoughts.
There were some low points in this series, and Reva's storyline was a complete disaster and contributed nothing....but the highs of the show were great.
Obi-Wan is perhaps my favorite character in any medium, and Ewan's perfermance was epic.
Overall, I liked it a lot despite its flaws. It could have been much, much better if they had focused on the story and not diversity bullcrap. [Reply]

moses ingram wasn't a diversity hire...the character was great and the actress did a respectable job bringing her to life
rey was a stupid character with a dumb, unearned arc full of mary sue bullshit
reva's made sense, and no one was else was kucked to her benefit [Reply]
Well, I'd say the big fight made the episode. It was pretty much as good as I could have expected. If they make another season I'll tune in to see how it goes. [Reply]
