Fresh Take - Obi-Wan Kenobi Ep 4 Thoughts (Spoiler Free)

 Available on Disney +

Thoughts

This is going to be a short one. The episode itself is short and to the point which is not a bad thing. This episode picks up where three left off with Kenobi in a Bacta Tank getting his burns tended to. This episode revolves around a rescue mission for young Leia from the Inquisitor's stronghold. The standout portions of this episode to me were seeing that Kenobi is starting to get his feel for the force back. Like the previous episode, there are a lot of moments that are incredibly intense. Leia and Reva, the 3rd Sister, are having a battle of wits and these are the moments that I like with young Leia. Leia has a mouth on her and Reva gets appropriately frustrated. The action in the episode is well choreographed in my opinion and keeps in line with the episode's intensity. The one thing that I have noticed about all Star Wars stuff that involves the Empire is it must truly suck to be a grunt/low-level employee. They get the short end of the stick in a lot of situations. Overall, I enjoyed the episode because it falls in line with the story that started in episode one. Kenobi still battling his PTSD, Vader, and the Inquisitors being completely ruthless and terrifying is what is working for me. There are two more episodes left in this season and I am interested in seeing how this wraps up. What did you think about the episode? Leave a comment and let's talk about it.
