what lead to his downfall was he failed to get the high ground

That was good 😂😂😂

I don’t think I breathed during that whole part. This show is so tense

Well, the Inquisitors had to learn that technique from somewhere...

so vader

When I heard Darth Vader's name is Anakin, I was reminded of an old Celtic song called Anachie Gordon. After watching him have an utter snit fit demonstrating how thoroughly he holds a grudge, now I'm certain that Anakin must be part Celt. Only we have such long and vicious memories!

Ok...worried about your mental health, now.

Good perspective

Great insight

Ironically, his home base is Mustafar. Literally surrounded himself with the same lava that immolated him.

Actually, Vader had overcome that trauma. In the comics he had fights on Mustafar against the natives while constructing his fortress, and at one point he and his army was practically flooded with lava. But he wasn't triggered. He just used the Force to create a bubble, swam through the lava, and continued fighting. This is the whole point of Vader as a Sith Lord. He has no fear. He IS fear. He is depressed af, but that hatred of himself is the very source of his dark strength. Vader has no qualms about wading through lava if that's what it takes, and that reignited blaze could've been easily put out by another blast of wind with the Force. But Vader wants to defeat Obi-Wan in a fair fight, just to prove that he is indeed superior. He finds no joy nor satisfaction in Obi-Wan in this present state.

The actual reason he let Obi Wan get away is because the comics establish that he only wants to throw himself at hardships that can match him in a fight and for years he’s been dreaming of fighting Master Obi Wan. Not this weak hermit. So he let his strength return.

O totally. I agree. He wanted to test his strength and make him suffer both mentally and physically. He wanted him to fully appreciate what Obi Wan had done to him. It would’ve been too easy to just kill him outright like you said. He wanted to show him who he’s dealing with so he has a chance to get his shit together. Then destroy him utterly.

No its just bad writing. They made vader look weak and stupid. Vader hates obi wan and wants to kill him and was stopped by a line of fire. Vader should have been more agressive. Also reva knowing vaders identity while being in contact with him makes no sense because she would bve dead if that were true. Aslo obi wan leaving luke like he dont matter makes no sense at all. Were half way through the series and it feels like nothing has haapend.

@@MasterNura no its just bad writing because the writers clearly dont know star wars. stop defending this crap company disney. All disney is make stuff woke and also ruin star wars

@@madelinegarber7860 Yes. Thank you. I feel exactly the same way.

Love this comment. Encapsulated my feelings exactly

He cares about nothing other than revenge

"One of the themes throughout the films is that the Sith lords [sic], when they started out thousands of years ago, embraced the dark side. They were greedy and self-centered and they all wanted to take over, so they killed each other. Eventually, there was only one left, and that one took on an apprentice. And for thousands of years, the master would teach the apprentice, the master would die, the apprentice would then teach another apprentice, become the master, and so on. But there could never be any more than two of them, because if there were, they would try to get rid of the leader, which is exactly what Vader was trying to do, and that's exactly what the Emperor was trying to do. The Emperor was trying to get rid of Vader, and Vader was trying to get rid of the Emperor. And that is the antithesis of a symbiotic relationship, in which if you do that, you become cancer, and you eventually kill the host, and everything dies." ―George Lucas, on Darth Bane's role in the Sith backstory[34]

Come on now

😭

Having ANH Obi-Wan’s robes become the Jedi uniform instead of it being just “what any hermit living in the desert would wear” is worst part of the canon that you can’t whip people into a frenzy over.

This…1,000,000% this!!!!

Episode III was peak Anakin Episode 3 is peak Vader This is the Villain he was always meant to be. It makes his redemption so much sweeter but also explains why everyone thinks Luke is batshit crazy when he says that “there’s still good in him…” like, kid, have you even SEEN your dad? 😂

jnovac1: True. Still, there are some amazingly well done fan made animated versions of the comics right here on KZfaq. You really need to check them out. Again, not the same as seeing it happen in real time in the screen, but as a fix between seeing Vader and finding good fan films, it's very good

@@artico_ and this is why I shouldn’t write posts on an iPad keyboard after being up for 20 hours….

in what way do you mean the difference, what are you comparing this to?

@@ountak2395 pretty much any live action fight in the films (at least ep 1 - 6, AFAIK they’ve only recently started using in-camera lit blades but could see it being used in ep 7-9). Specific example… how about the Anakin / Dooku ‘fight’ in ep 2 after Anakin slices the power cable?

We've already seen Ahsoka wielding her light sabres in The Mandalorian and it was fantastic.

I’ve only been scared of Vader in my dreams and this is what they were like. Seriously

you know except for that scene in Rogue One, we've never really seen Vader do what we all imagine he can do. In A New Hope he has a pretty lackluster action scene with Obi Wan and in the next two movies he's actively trying to NOT kill his son but EVERYONE is terrified of him. Even Palpatine to some degree. So this show where he's got no reason to hold back could be pretty cool

@@rockyseverino9230 Yeah, palpatine literally made him a suit that he can control otherwise hes pretty f'd up

Exactly. I was stuck just watching in terror. Amazing.

I was thinking back and it almost feels like this might be the first time Vader is truly the evil villain he was always thought of as. When we first see him he's kind of Tarkin's attack dog. Leia even says as much with the Tarkin holding Vader's leash line. The Imperial officers thin so little of him they make fun of the force within choking distance. Sure Vader shoots down some fighters but who hasn't in Star Wars? Then in Empire we get some Force choking but it was never really played as scary. There are times we even kind of want him to do so and it is played with a darkly comedic touch. It's not till Anakin kills the Tusken Raiders then the force kids who are unable to recognize a man who is clearly no longer on their side. During Rogue One Vader gets the biggest cheer of the movie when he has the most brutal hallway fight since Daredevil. This is the first time where he is killing people not because they have upset him or they have information or they are stopping him from retrieving information. Yes, it's likely he's hurting those people to draw Obi Wan out. Given what he does later, by which I mean both torturing Obi-Wan and stalking him like he's Michael Myers, it's almost certain he simply enjoys hurting people. He knew exactly where Obi Wan ( I should call him Ben since he doesn't go by Obi Wan anymore apparently) was hiding and could've just walked in. He could've called him out and said he was going to start hurting if Ben didn't show his face. Instead he pulled one guy through a window and hung him out to dry. Snapped the neck of the same guy's child which is all kinds of messed up. Then he drags a woman behind him for no other reason than he can. Except the other reason is he doesn't value life at all anymore and he's become so numb this is the only way he can feel anything. Or he now enjoys hurting others as some kind of retribution for the way he was left to die. Who really knows? All I know is there's more going on than trying to get Ben to walk through a door when I'm sure Vader could simply rip the entire front of the building off and have someone go grab him. As strange as it sounds I think this was needed. We should be scared of this guy. They were going for a more family friendly tone in all other Star Wars projects. Now that they can go more adult we're seeing the things that should've always been there from a character who has gone through what he has. Well done Obi Wan Kenobi people.

Showing him as a monster makes people's reactions to him in the OT make much more sense. Nothing he did in the OT really warranted the level of fear people had at the mere mention of his name.

@@foulrot Rogue One did that great aswell, the Hallway scene in terms of fighting but the scene with Director Krennic is very intimidating. "Dont choke on your aspirations, director."

@@foulrot well he did murder every officer that failed him. I think they showed a good amount in the OT but it’s nice to see it expressly demonstrated

@@trappedinamerica7740 Vader killing incompetent Imperials doesn't show how he's a monster. It shows him being cool and doing basically engaging in the same kind of activity as the good guys: killing Imperials.

I feel with context that by ANH that the flaming rage has simmered to an extent that he feels apathy in their final fight. It burnt brightly for years and eventually just went out.

She is doing a great job. I will give credit to the creative team as well. They have captured what Leia must have been as a child. Put it all together and you see how this ten year old became our Leia.

She's still only nine, for a couple more days.

I bet she studied Carrie Fischer's performance very carefully. She has the sassiness and decisiveness down pat.

Leia scenes make me sad, when ANH rolls around and she calls on him for help once more, she'll never get to meet up with him

@@detjen6403 Oh fuck you’re right.

@@TheAwesome45 Kind of Tragic right? she makes that message, they get to the Death star but Obi wan is off doing the tractor beam and his final sacrifice, dosen't even get say goodbye.

Well… if you know you’re lore …. It was originally in the movie (but still in the novel) that Owen is actually Obi Wans brother - making that “you were my brother” line pretttttty accurate in a convoluted family way - and makes Luke’s “Uncle Ben” even more meaningful in ANH

"Thanks bby Leia, I didn't need that heart anyway". Yeah, you got 3 left if you're playing a Lego Game. It gets serious when you lose 3 hearts, and have 1 left, though.

She has to get caught up at some point to be an Inquisitor, but her buddies don't make it. Given Kenobi's warning to Jedi not to return to the temple it could be that's what her personal beef with Kenobi is now, they could have made it (at least as a hope) had a Jedi returned to help them.

Or she blames him for Anakin's fall. Though I've also been thinking she might just view him as a means to an end. That she doesn't want to be Grand Inquistor, she just wants the power to kill Vader.

idk. I think it's possible Obi will never truly fight Vader. In the original trilogy, he simply lets Vader strike him down. I think never giving Vader what he wants (a fair fight against his old master) is the way Obi makes sure Vader never "completes" his dark side training and therefore allows for a path of redemption. Although, I could be totally wrong about everything.

lmao no...??

@@ibuprofriends ok bud

I do not have a problem with her character per se. And not what she gets to do, but how. Not getting punished by the grand inquisitor for continually refusing to follow orders. Being able to "kill" the grand inquisitor without him anticipating. Teleporting through the tunnel to get to Leia. And there are some things that require an intelligent explanation. Like why hasnt Vader killed her for knowing about Anakin. But the character does her job as a secondary villain. I really hope for the second have of the show for her to either stay a secondary villain to Vader, or for the writing around her specifically to get significantly better.

@@Ockerlord Well no one knows she knows Vader is Anakin except for Obi Wan whom she told in an empty warehouse so...yeah. There's your answer for that. The Grand Inquisitor was so overconfident in himself I am relatively sure he never would even think Reva would have the spine to kill him, especially with how downcast her eyes were at him berating her on Tattooine. He was fully planning on punishing her, but she killed him first. Honestly, the only disconnect I have with Reva is that I have become SO ACCUSTOMED to every bad Imperial officer in a military-style outfit speaking with a British accent, her lack of one throws me a tiny bit. Otherwise she is killing it.

@@bridgethaines7127 look, Reva refuses to take orders and does exactly what she is told not to do over and over again starting before the beginning of the series. And she suffers no consequences except being told she is scum. On the other hand when Reva gives orders that are not respected you lose your hand immediately. I do not enjoy this lazy writing.

@@Ockerlord SO all writing you don't think fits archetypes or stereotypes is lazy, got it. Personally I find her way more interesting than Imperial officer #543546565 (The Grand Inquisitor)

That split second where she sees the Jedi symbol and almost touches it was absolutely killer. I feel bad for people who are missing out on her performance because they’ve already decided she’s a bad actor for playing an angry character as angry. In between that, her reaction to the death of the child, and her somehow knowing Vader’s true name, I don’t buy that she’s just an ambitious grunt who thinks Obi Wan will get her promoted. There’s something much deeper and more personal here, she blames Obi Wan for something.

@@nomisunrider6472 ..exactly. Also I'm starting NOT to like this 6 episode format for a Star Wars series, cause the writers are not doing much of a good lately fleshing out character arcs.

She plays a perfect Sith. As a fan of The Old Republic, when Grand Inquisitor said she’s the least of them I was like “She’s waaaay more Sith than ANY of you!”

Merchandise at will, Commander!

@@Clarence_Oddbody and yet Star Wars merchandise availability and demand has collapsed since the Last Jedi with the lone exception of baby yoda.

Qui Gon can’t show as a force ghost. He didn’t go through his entire training to become one with the force.

It’s supposed to be depressing because Obi Wan himself is depressed and has been for a decade. He turned away from the force and lives with nothing but regrets. He’s on a journey both mentally, physically, and in regards to the Force, spiritually.

Sorry to say, but he ain’t turning up! If he hasn’t appeared yet….he won’t at all

😭💀

In rogue one it was the real JEJ voice ... but it was disappointing... he sounded old... so I guess they found a way to make him sound like the OT... mabe they took the OT lines and patchwork/created new lines and pass them through a filter to smooth the lines out.. I'm very curious how they did that.

I think they just got better at it. I used to think maybe JEJ wasn't 100% healthy in Rogue one but there's so much time spent making movies they could've waited for his throat to clear

they said out of the way when she was not in the way

This. The Inquisitors are that regular type of Dark Jedi or petty Sith Lord that most non-saga Star Wars has always been full of - much the same as a dozen minor Imperial Remnant Warlords (including Snoke and Kylo), much the same as Malak, Sion and most of the TOR Sith, much the same as all the forgettable dark jedi who flit in and out of the story in the pre-empire and post-empire EU. Their position and influence is propped up by Sidious, Vader and the military might of the Empire - and yet for all that, those greater evils ultimately make plain how pathetic and petty their villainy is. That doesn't make them bad characters, just outclassed in both power, ambition and complexity of character by two of the greatest villains ever put to screen.

I thought it was Seth Rogen. Freck sounds exactly like him.

Not if it's due to her acting, but her role in the story.

@@SogonD.Zunatsu Her Role. 😁

No wonder I like him so much.

I love how they make it look like the stormtroopers are any threat at all against a Jedi master

When they were in the transport with him, talking about how they'd find the Jedi, I kept going back to Luke and Han and "I can't see a THING in this helmet" and laughing out loud.

And one of the names on the wall is Valin Halycon as well

Can you imagine an FBI Profiler trying to put a profile out on Vader? 🤔

Yeah, they had a Blazing Saddles moment.
