There’s about a decade between the start of this season and the beginning of Star Wars: Rogue One, so there’s plenty to explore.

Are you excited for the rest of the series? Let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the episode though. From the slower paced start to the anxiety filled finale, this episode just simply continues to impress. Watching as Vader held Obi-Wan in the flames, giving him the same experience as he had was truly a specitcal. The cat and mouse chase between the two of them was incredibly anxiety inducing. So, for a sequence between the two of them to make me so anxious should have been borderline impossible. While my critsism of the Third Sister in the first two episodes was valid, the third episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi has seemed to fix this. Much like The Bad Batch and Rebels, one of the main appeals of this limited series is look into what life was like under the Empire. Seeing how civilians interact with the empire is very interesting. Seeing the pair travel across the universe is something I could watch for seasons. This is something that’s always been such a great part of Star Wars. It’s incredibly interesting and something I hope we see more of as the series progresses. The following contains spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3. Both of the previous episodes showed us that Deborah Chow could more than handle the series.

DUEL AT NABOO: Obi-Wan was still technically a Padawan learner when he made. BIO-DROID THREAT: Years before the Clone Wars animated series chronicled Obi-Wan's.

It's a fantastic marriage of familiar, nostalgic Star Wars and something new and exciting, reflecting the show as a whole. The threads of iconic Star Wars themes weaved through the soundtrack by Loki composer Natalie Holt works to stellar effect, and the moment it cuts out to let Vader’s breathing provide the base of the score is wonderful. It's a stark and savage display of power and something we've not really seen since the thrilling climax of Rogue One. The hold the Imperials have during this era is put on full display in both the impressively imposing looking architecture of the Inquisitor base, to more subtle – and arguably chilling – displays of evil infiltrating society like a worn flag on the back of a cart. The return of Vader thrills as he’s reunited with his former master for the first time in 10 years, and displays the brutality that comes with his legend. The opening half is quite low-octane, and while there's no comically slow chase scene this time, the highlight is a couple of underwhelming blaster fights.

It helps, too, that the spectre of Vader looms large throughout the episode – there's one scene on Mustafar, in which Reva dials in an attempt to further her ...

Tala swoops in and saves the Jedi, while Reva meets Leia at the end of the tunnel and scoops up her golden ticket to joining the upper ranks of the Empire. It’s not quite The Empire Strikes Back’s gut-punch of an ending, but it tracks along the same lines. Our only hope is that Obi-Wan finds some guidance – from Qui-Gon Jinn or otherwise – to put him back on the right path. Later, after a Leia/Luma slip of the tongue, Freck sells his hitchhikers out to the Empire, and we get a snatch of action. The episode spends a significant amount of time trying to make Obi-Wan and Leia seem increasingly vulnerable, yet we know the two characters make it out the other side. He even chokes out innocents while on the hunt for Obi-Wan, offering up a threat as fearsome as any seen in Star Wars media. We were promised the “rematch of the century” between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. While the third episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t quite deliver on that front just yet, Darth Vader’s presence elevates what could have otherwise been a slightly weaker follow-up to last week’s strong one-two combo.

Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader face off in an incendiary Star Wars confrontation.

Embracing the natural balance of the Force is like turning on a light. That peace and quiet doesn't last long, however, as the true face of Imperial ruthlessness is revealed when the Inquisitors arrive. Vos turned to the Dark Side for a time, but appears to have survived the Order 66 purge after all and now specializes in rescuing younglings. If you recognize the voice, he's played by Zach Braff (well, Braff is listed in the credits, but at first I have to admit I thought Freck sounded more like Seth Rogen). The lack of trust among the Inquisitors leads to in-fighting that works in the favor of our heroes. And Vader's sadism in roasting Obi-Wan also provides the opportunity for the wounded Jedi to escape. Callously walking through a town snapping necks of bystanders, Vader is the epitome of Imperial terror and violence. Only when Vader aids Luke and is unmasked does he become Anakin again -- and only is the circle truly complete. The last time Obi-Wan saw Anakin Skywalker was the fateful duel in which he chopped his apprentice into bits and left him melting on the side of a volcano. "His compassion has been his undoing". But it also works the other way: the ruthlessness and violence of the Empire works against them. Throughout the series, the Inquisitors and Vader have used the Jedi's values against them. When I left you I was but the learner.

Obi-Wan Kenobi searches for allies in Episode 3 as he and Princess Leia go on the run from the Empire, Darth Vader, and the Inquisitors hunting them.

Deborah Chow continues to deliver some of the most visually stunning Star Wars stories to date, intricately building on its script with clever directorial choices and building on this somber chapter in Kenobi’s life. Desperate to keep Leia away from her father and out of harm’s way, Obi-Wan sends her with Tala while he sets off to act as a diversion and face his former friend. But Darth Vader’s plans of maiming Obi-Wan like he was are interrupted by Tala arriving to save the day. How will they get off of the planet now that the Empire’s presence has increased? Like any young traveler, Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) is restless aboard the freighter, and while it’s been a while since Obi-Wan has traveled with a youngling, he knows the quickest way to keep her occupied is to repair her Lola droid. With the Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) disposed of, Reva’s conflict with the Fifth Brother (Sung Kang) only increases as she vies for Vader’s approval and the Inquisitors continue to treat her like an outsider among them.

Leia is more hopeful, but knows little about the Force or how evil the Empire can be. On the Imperial side of things, the Third Sister calls Darth Vader himself ...

As for the good guys, the atmosphere on Mapuzo is pure Star Wars. The miner being a literal mole alien is so goofy that it circles around to being great, as is the scene of the stormtroopers buying Obi-Wan’s feeble lies. The cuts between Reva and Vader make it feel like the heroes are truly surrounded. The one glimmer of hope he has is when he describes to Leia what the Force feels like. In particular, I found the beginning of the Vader fight distractingly dark until the lightsabers were lit. This Obi-Wan is also a far cry from the one who called blasters “uncivilized.” His casual willingness to use a gun for dirty tricks also shows how far he’s fallen from Jedi pride. Leia’s presence also helps the show feel like a seamless extension of the Original Trilogy. Vivien Lyra Blair continues to be excellent in this role. She attempts to take Leia to safety, but Obi-Wan stays behind when he sees Vader has arrived on the planet. This turns out to be a trap, and Obi-Wan takes down stormtroopers at a checkpoint in a firefight. However, Tala going to help Obi-Wan means no one is there to stop the Third Sister from capturing Leia. He’s trying to reach Qui-Gon through the Force. Instead, he’s confronted only with memories and visions of Anakin and the other tragedies in his life. The Third Sister and Fifth Brother clash over who gets to bring Obi-Wan’s location to Vader. And in one of the episode’s most gruesome sequence, we watch as Vader’s med droids pack him into his life-sustaining armor on Mustafar. What kind of monster is Darth Vader? This week’s Obi-Wan Kenobi presents Vader as both terrifying and vulnerable.

Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader face off in an incendiary confrontation as James Earl Jones returns to Star Wars.

That peace and quiet don't last long, however, as the true face of Imperial ruthlessness is revealed when the Inquisitors arrive. Embracing the natural balance of the Force is like turning on a light. Vos turned to the Dark Side for a time, but appears to have survived the Order 66 purge after all and now specializes in rescuing younglings. If you recognize the voice, he's played by Zach Braff (well, Braff is listed in the credits, but at first I have to admit I thought Freck sounded more like Seth Rogen). Obi-Wan bitterly notes that the planet has been ravaged by the rapacious Empire, which perhaps suggests why there are so many desert planets in the galaxy. The lack of trust among the Inquisitors leads to in-fighting that works in the favor of our heroes. And Vader's sadism in roasting Obi-Wan also provides the opportunity for the wounded Jedi to escape. Callously walking through a town snapping necks of bystanders, Vader is the epitome of Imperial terror and violence.

The prequel trilogy humanized him as Anakin Skywalker, and various attendant canon materials, from The Clone Wars to Rebels and various comics and novels, make ...

Here, Vader doesn’t represent a badass force of galactic judgment, but the very embodiment of Obi-Wan’s failures, and of the Jedi in general; he’s his worst nightmare brought to terrifying life. Obi-Wan Kenobi finds Vader still nursing an obsession and hatred for the titular Jedi but having also embraced his role as Sidious’s right hand and cultivated immense personal power within the Empire. His name alone has become a horror story, a way to coerce and frighten Imperial troops into staying in line. When the Inquisitors and Vader show up to track down Obi-Wan, the Dark Lord of the Sith strolls the streets Force-choking civilians, snapping necks, and flinging bodies just to lure his former Master into the open. The Empire Strikes Back linked him more directly to the franchise’s hero and Return of the Jedi went some way towards redeeming him. Obi-Wan Kenobi makes a surprising pivot in this episode, beginning to resemble something like outright horror much more than a knockabout fun-for-all-the-family space adventure. This is a show about a traumatized and disillusioned man trying to reckon with his responsibilities in a world that not only no longer has use of him but actively wants him dead.

Andy Silva breaks down the third episode of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ which dropped on Wednesday.

Vader taunts that Obi-Wan should have killed him when he had the chance and eventually force chokes Obi-Wan into the air and throws him into a burning fire, looking to inflict the same pain that he has endured. Obi-Wan quickly goes to a window where he not only sees his former apprentice for the first time in his suit but he sees the full terror of Darth Vader in action, as Vader uses the force to pull people out of their homes, force chokes them and snaps their necks. And in the episode’s closing moments, she intercepts Leia after killing the pilot that was supposed to take her to safety. When the stormtroopers depart, Leia point-blank asks Obi-Wan if he knew her birth mother, which cause Obi-Wan to deflect again and her to accuse him again of hiding things from her and lying to her. She apologizes for running away in the first episode and admits she just wants to go home. The duel reveals that Obi-Wan is completely overmatched by Vader, quickly put on the defensive and forced to a knee. Obi-Wan tries to deflect when asked again what they’re doing on this planet, but Leia quickly covers with the cover that Obi-Wan has taken her to the place where he met her mother, who is no longer with them. However, as soon as they make it through the gate, another garrison arrives and they look to be in trouble, That is until they are saved by an Imperial captain who shoots the troopers and reveals herself to be their tardy contact. Reva and the Fifth Brother snipe at each other over who will take the Grand Inquisitor’s place, especially after Reva reveals that she has spoken with Vader and he has asked her to head the search for Kenobi. Fifth Brother is outraged and again stakes his claim to power, telling Reva that he will get what he deserves and ominously so will she. The story picks up when Leia sees a vehicle coming and moves to hitchhike despite Obi-Wan’s protests. Clearly, Obi-Wan is still reeling from all the betrayal and loss he suffered at the end of the Clone Wars despite getting an opportunity to meet his erstwhile best friend’s daughter. Obi-Wan notes that the barren planet once was verdant with fields and families until the Empire arrived and turned it into a strip-mining operation.

He was the leader of a Jedi splinter group, the Altisian Jedi, who believed members of the Order should be able to take multiple apprentices at one time, as well as be allowed to marry. She appeared in the novel Children of the Jedi as a Force-sensitive former consort to Emperor Palpatine. Her son later became the one-off New Jedi Order villain Lord Nyax. The Jedi who pass through the safe house are headed for the planet Jabiim. This planet featured in several now non-canon The Clone Wars era comics as the site of fierce battles. The Inquisitors also have their own dramatic base. Djinn Altis is another relatively obscure Legends Jedi, first mentioned in that same novel as Roganda, Children of the Jedi, and later fleshed out in a Clone Wars era novel. The Aurebesh on the walls also reveals that a few classic Legends Jedi are canon again! Quinlan’s morally gray personality made him a fan favorite in the Clone Wars era. The graffiti inside the safehouse doesn’t just reveal than Quinlan is alive. – Hayden Christensen returns from the Prequels as Anakin Skywalker. It’s a reunion many fans thought would never happen as the actor drew flack for his performance under George Lucas’ direction. Obi-Wan has a brother? Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker clash again as Darth Vader stalks onto the small screen. Vader’s home base, appropriately named Fortress Vader, sits on the same planet where Anakin underwent his greatest tragedy.

Episode 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi suggests the Grand Inquisitor is dead. What will happen moving forward and how will it affect the canon of Star Wars Rebels?

The most important thing to remember is that Dave Filoni is a consultant for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it would be extremely unlikely that he would let an important piece of his work be retconned so easily. However, the Grand Inquisitor will more than likely make a triumphant return in one of the final episodes to enact his revenge upon her. It could easily be explained that only one of his stomachs was injured and a long soak in the bacta tank fixed it, or that his entire midsection was replaced with cybernetics just as Fennec Shand's was. Even though Episode 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi seemed to hint that the Grand Inquisitor had truly drawn his last breath, it is likely that they are saving his comeback as a surprise. The most important detail of this entire situation, though, is that the Grand Inquisitor appears to be truly dead. Seeing how she is not in other projects like Rebels or Jedi: Fallen Order makes the viewer think that she will be killed by Vader toward the end of the series. This is the only mention of the Grand Inquisitor from Vader. He seems to have accepted his death and is ready to move on and appoint someone else to fill the role. She says "He will pay for the Grand Inquisitor's--" when Vader cuts her off and responds with "The Grand Inquisitor means nothing." He then goes on to offer her a coveted reward if she can prove herself - "the position of Grand Inquisitor." However, due to his merciless nature, he also promises to kill her if she fails. From this exchange, it seems as though the Grand Inquisitor is truly dead. The latest installment touched on the topic, leaving the door open for many different possibilities when it comes to the future of the character. The character is an important playing piece in Season 1 of the animated show, Star Wars: Rebels, so many speculated that he would somehow return in Episode 3, or at another point later in the series.
