Thoughts
We made it to the season finale peeps. Not going to lie the season in its entirety has been up and down but the last three episodes have been good in my opinion. It lends to the notion that when Star Wars is good it's really good and when it's bad, well you know. The episode picks up where the previous one left off and Vader still ain't playing around. He wants Kenobi and will massacre anyone he has to, to accomplish the goal of essentially ripping him apart. The best part of the episode is the rematch between Vader and Kenobi. It's just the two of them one-on-one and it is very fun to see. Watching Vader overpower him at first and seeing Kenobi come back with renewed strength was great to see. The dialogue during this fight was great as well. James Earl Jones doesn't get enough credit in my opinion, some of those lines don't work if it isn't coming from him. His voice is just to iconic and I am so glad he was able to do this. The only thing I really had an issue with in this episode is the same issue I have had with the series and that is the character of Third Sister aka Reva. I'm not blaming the actress for this I just think the character was badly written and could probably have benefitted from a couple more episodes of development. Her character arc was hella predictable due to the fact that we know certain things happen in the cannon that makes her motivations not work. I like Moses Ingram I think she is a very good actress and I would love to see her in more things, I just think the nature of this show and them only having a limited number of episodes didn't help her character in the long run.
On the whole, I thought the season wasn't bad. I liked how they dealt with the fallout of Episode 3 and the trauma that Kenobi was going through. I liked that we got a truly raged-filled Darth Vader that really didn't care about anything except getting Obi-Wan. The Vader scenes felt like a horror show at times due to how it was shot and that worked for me as Vader is one of my favorite villains in all of fiction. The series has its ups and downs but I think that is due to them only doing six episodes. This is one of those series that I believe would have benefited from a couple extra episodes to help the story. As much as I like Leia in this I do think sometimes the focus was on her a little to much. I liked how they tried to make this fit with the original trilogy and there are a lot of easter eggs and cameos in this show. What did you think of the season finale of Kenobi? What are your thoughts on the season as a whole? Please leave a comment and let's talk about it. As always thanks for your support feel free to share this blog with your friends.
