I wasn't pleased with this show's development. This isn't a 100% from scratch overhaul, no real recastings and such, it refines some things in the show's structure, takes out some things and replaces them altogether, with specifically some more aggressive changes in the back half. LORD willing, Mandalorian season 3 next! Because of length, this is broken into 2 parts. Next part is up as well. For this, here are the ideas God, if He wills, has blessed me with for this:

EPISODE 1:

I felt the previously on was forced. I felt it'd have worked more, to me, if it's used more as a nightmare Obi-Wan is having and the nightmare reaches the part where Anakin is burning alive, intercut with Padme dying and Obi-Wan agreeing to watch over Luke, Bail saying he'll take Leia, Obi-Wan giving Luke to Beru and Owen, then showing Anakin burning alive, more and more, with the music rising and getting more intense, with Obi-Wan saying he loves Anakin, and Anakin screaming that he hates Obi-Wan, SMASH CUT to Obi-Wan waking up from his nightmare, as the words "I have failed you, Anakin" echoing in his head, and then show him going on about his day. Then deal with the other stuff. And Obi-Wan going on about his day is the opener.

The Inquisitors are never on Tatooine, going after that jedi. They're on another planet, and the jedi escapes on a transport. No exposition about Reva wanting Kenobi. Unravel that more slowly.

The Inquisitors raid his abandoned ship, discussing amongst themselves his motives for making such a ruckus now when he's been under the radar for so long. Reva uses the force to reach out, finding a star chart, among other jedi objects. Grand Inquisitor deduces that they must have scared the jedi off before he was able to gather it. Reva finds a holographic transmitter that still holds the message of Obi-Wan (the message shown in Rebels and Jedi Fallen Order), staring at it.

The Fifth Brother announces that Reva has found something, to which the Grand Inquisitor questions what. She, begrudgingly, reveals it, suggesting that he may be looking for him, hence the star chart. Reva says that this is the first sign of Kenobi's potential existence in years. Grand Inquisitor dismisses it, saying that if Kenobi were alive he would've made his presence known years ago. Reva says that perhaps Vader would be interested to know this possibility, unless Grand Inquisitor's afraid at the idea he may have to face Kenobi.

Grand Inquisitor angrily ignites his lightsaber at her throat, stating that her insolence under his command will not be tolerated, before refraining his anger/retracting his lightsaber, and only smugly saying that if she thinks this worthy to bring to Vader, do so, and see what she'll get from him in return for vague theories and baseless assumptions. He then simply turns his back on her and leaves her, as she stews in her anger. The Fifth Brother chuckles at her dismissal.

Owen is in the episode more and talks with a young Luke, who has begun asking questions about his dad, knowing he's adopted. Owen struggles with what he should do here.

Beru has more weight in this, having never known her dad, she feels like it's their responsibility to support his curiosity about his family. Owen decides he feels it's their responsibility to protect Luke, to ensure they he doesn't get caught up in the same delusions of grandeur that he thinks got Anakin killed, especially considering how the jedi were killed.

At the shops on tatooine, Luke's older friend Biggs shows off his new skyhopper to Luke. Luke shows his technical interest in it, but them his attention is pulled off to some of Jabba's thugs taking water from some of citizens. He feels for them and wants to do something, but Owen steps in and tells him not to, that he'd be killed and he wants Luke safe. Luke is upset at this, frustrated, this compounds his anger at Owen not telling him about his dad.

The Owen and Obi-Wan conversation is basically Obi-Wan's main conflict for the first episode. They talk once, Obi asking about Luke, Owen shutting it down as Owen feels he's responsible for Luke, because he's Shmi's grandson, telling Obi that he'll never let Luke join Obi.

Obi is left depressed from Owen outright rejecting training Luke, the idea of his only remaining life goal having been taken from him, unsure how to move forward. He, mind clouded with uncertainty, goes back to his cave, before picking up on the jedi watching him, who reveals himself to Obi.

Obi-Wan lies to the jedi when they find him, about what he's doing there, in case the jedi would get caught, he wouldn't give information about what's going on. When he tells Obi that he was being chased by the empire, but escaped, Obi is abrasive, angry, telling the jedi that he risked lives coming here, that he could've brought the empire to him, asking how he found him. The jedi assures Obi that he slipped through their fingers on a transport and has faked a trail 3 times before coming here, stating that he remembers his training, then explaining how he found him by saying that he used the seeing stone, that his mentor taught him about, remarking that few jedi even knew about it and wasn't even in the jedi archives, so it's remained untouched by the empire on Tython, and he saw him through using that stone.

Obi, closed off, asks him what else he saw, fearful that he may have sensed Luke. He says he was only looking for him, he's all he saw. Obi lets out a sigh of relief, but then states that he can't be here, he has to leave before he's discovered and empire catches word, saying that the Hutt cartel doesn't want the empire in their business so that may either gain him them keeping quiet if he's discovered or they may silence him to prevent him gaining the empire's attention, but other criminals who may want some easy credits will turn him in if he's found out.

The jedi's confused, asking what about the mission. Obi, in conflict, says that there is no mission, not anymore, there's nothing they can do, they lost, the sith took everything. The jedi shows him another recording of his message (this being his teacher's who'd died not long after the empire rose), the words of Kenobi's past self haunting him, and he asks him about that message, what about the hope for the future.

Obi is conflicted, before telling a half truth, that he didn't know what the cost of survival would be when he made that message, he didn't know what he'd have to do to survive, curb every feeling he has, suppress every drive to help those in need, he's had to give up who he is, stating that that message was that of a man who didn't realize that in order to ensure the survival of the jedi, he had to lose everything in him that made him a jedi. Obi then calmly, but sadly, tells him to stay hidden, it's the only way, before leaving the saddened jedi behind.

After all this, he lays, trying to sleep, but unable to. Tormented by what he said to that jedi, depressed at the idea that he thinks the only way to fix his mistakes has been taken from him. He asks Qui-Gon for guidance, questioning how he can go on when he has no way to fix what's happened. But Qui-Gon still hasn't replied back. Then, from that, cut to Leia for the first time.

Leia being adopted isn't known by anyone. Though Leia herself is developed to feel out of place, without really knowing why. She tells her parents about a dream she had of a beautiful, kind, sad woman. Bail and Breha ponder that, before telling her that she's adopted. She's uncertain, wondering what this means for her, if she's still their daughter. Bail tells her that no matter how she feels, she is their daughter, an Organa in every way and that's what matters, that just because her birth parents are apart of who she is, it doesn't mean that they're not too.

Leia goes outside, looking up at the sky, wondering about her place, feeling a sense of happiness seeing it, the wide scope of the galaxy, similar visually to Luke looking at the twin suns in ANH. That's when she's taken aback, when she's someone watching her. Afraid, she steps back, in spite of him telling her it's okay, but she can sense it's not.

Meanwhile one of the alderan guards finds the body of another, alerting the others, and the King and Queen. They immediately fear for Leia. An alarm is set off, Leia hearing and the stranger's attention is taken off her for a second, her using this as a distraction start running the other way, away from the stranger, only to be snatched up by another one behind her.

Obi goes about his routine the next day, and re-enters the town, being stopped in his tracks finds the jedi dead, not by the Inquisitors, but done by the crime run mob of Tatooine, as a warning to anyone, and as a way to keep the empire out of their business.

Obi is left even more defeated by this, the struggle of trying to protect the future and the compromises he makes to do so weighing on him, the guilt of everything messing with his head, feeling responsible for everything. He goes back to his cave, despondent. He drops to the ground once he gets there, feeling lost, utterly defeated, asking for help. And that's when he's contacted by Bail.

Obi-Wan's first rejection of rescuing Leia is developed more in that he knows the empire were hunting that jedi, that they could've found his location, and that doing something could draw attention and get Luke killed/captured, maybe even draw them to Leia and her potential and that because Owen is struggling to pay off the second mortgage on the moisture farm, along with his torment about the guilt and fear that he'll fail her and Luke.

There isn't second interaction in this episode. But instead Bail's second plea with him is in the very same scene, as Bail tells him that Leia's droid Lola has a tracker on it, tracing it to the planet Daiyu before it was deactivated, suggesting that he looks there first. The reason for seeking Obi's help, and no one else, being that they're afraid Leia is showing signs of force sensitivity in memories and he's the only other person who knows about that.

That's how Bail convinces Obi, telling him that anyone else sent could see what she can do and turn her over by the empire as they offer not only bounty's but also privileges for criminals. He and Breha state that they know it's dangerous, but she needs him. Bails says that he knows that he couldn't save Anakin weighs on him, but affirms he can save her. Obi pushes himself to try and accomplish the final goal of keeping Leia safe, thinking that's all he has left, agreeing to do it.

Obi goes to an area next to his cave to dig up the lightsaber. He doesn't flash the lightsaber at the transport, but keeps it hidden.

EPISODE 2:

Padja's basic role is replaced. When Obi is given the spice, he sees the old clone veteran looking for a warm meal. Feeling sympathy, he reaches down to give him some money. The clone recognizes him and calls him by his name, General Kenobi. The clone looks down shame, apologizing to him for what he did.

Obi then realizes that the clone is Commander Cody. Obi kneels down to him and puts his hand on his shoulder, telling him that it's okay. The clone refuses to accept that, the ptsd ridden guilt consuming him. Obi tells him he knows it wasn't his fault, and that he forgives him. The clone blinks back tears of relief, as Obi gives Cody all the money he has, dryly saying to not spend it all in one place. Cody asks him if he's on a mission.

Obi is unsure if he's willing to answer, but puts that aside mostly, asking him if he can offer him any help in seeking out a gang who'd been employed for a kidnapping job more recently. Cody assists Obi in finding some thugs who are connected to a spice selling faction of a mob family and later helps him escape the planet, knowing of a planet that he's heard some go to for safe passage to the outer rim.

The kidnapping of an imperial senator's daughter is never learned about by any of the Inquisitors. The Grand Inquisitor is reprimanding Reva, instead, for her going on an unsanctioned mission, especially after Kenobi, this being how he discovers that he's there.

Reva didn't find a connection between Bail Organa and Obi-Wan in the records. It's left a mystery for now how she figured out their connection.

Leia doesn't start running away from Obi. They're attacked by a swath of bounty hunters and separated.

Leia never learns that his name is Obi-Wan. But only ever hears his name as Ben.

Leia and Obi can still bond, she can begin to trust him (she doesn't fully know how, but she can feel his emotions, his pain, sadness, the fear he has of being caught, how closed off he is because of these things and his desire to protect someone close to him and that he helps her in spite of it), he likes her (maybe her sassyness reminds him of Anakin).

There's no fakeout death for the Grand Inquisitor. She opposes him and he makes a move against her, which she fights back against, before realizing Obi is escaping in an automatic shipping crate.

Reva doesn't know Vader is Anakin.

EPISODE 3:

Obi does try to fix lola for Leia.

Obviously some changes with the little things, like the stormtrooper scenes, but those aren't really plot relevant.

Grand Inquisitor is furious with Reva, ready to punish her, but is halted when she tells him that Reva has personally contacted Vader to inform him of Kenobi's sighting. For not informing Vader immediately, Grand Inquisitor is forced by Vader to concede leadership of the mission in going after Kenobi to Reva.

Leia does wonder why Obi was sent and why he's so committed to protecting her, if he's doing this on his own, asking him if he knew her parents, if he's her dad. Obi tells her that he's not.

Obi is sighted by a probe droid. Obi and Leia meet Tala, she takes them to the tunnel.

Reva, no other Inquisitors, are led by Vader, with a squad of stormtroopers.

Obi-Wan carefully takes out his lightsaber when Vader is hurting people in the street. He looks at it, feeling the weight and pain of when he used it last, considering taking action, but, conflicted about what it would mean if he was caught (that Luke and Leia could be caught as well), he decides to hide, the pain of him hearing others be hurt shown on his face.

Obi opts to attempt a distraction to catch Vader's attention. But it's no use, Vader senses Obi and goes after him.

Obi, hiding, is faced with Vader in the quarry still. Obi carefully ignites the lightsaber, readying it for Vader, but instead slashes at pulley with it to cause a large container of gravel to tip over, the gravel spilling between them, Vader's vision being obscured.

When Vader gets a clear visual, Obi's gone. Vader calls him a coward. Obi continues to try and hide, as Vader's voice echoes throughout the quarry, taunting him, but is caught off guard by Vader's attack. Obi asks what have you become and Vader tells Obi that he is what Obi made him.

Meanwhile, Leia isn't recaptured. Reva places a tracker on the ship that Leia, Tala and Obi-Wan are going to escape on.

The Obi and Vader fight does show how out of practice Obi is, where he's outmatched by Vader, and the fight still ends with Obi being dragged through burning coals, Vader telling him he will make him suffer the same way he has.

Tala fires on a water tank, spraying the water on the coals and the droid knocking the tower down between Vader and Obi. Stormtroopers and Reva rush to Vader's side, Tala and her droid getting Obi out of there as well.

Reva begins to order the stormtroopers to go after them, but Vader stops her, asking if she placed the tracker. Reva says yes. Vader responds that that's good, because Vader doesn't want this hunt to end quickly, then saying to Obi-Wan through the force that to run, because he can hide from him no longer.

EPISODE 4:

The opening is intercut between Obi being taken, burned, injured to the bacta tank and Vader entering his hyperbaric chamber room, disrobing from his suit, and entering into his bacta tank.

Obi begins having flashbacks to events where he feels he failed Anakin.

The first of these flashbacks is a 14 year old Anakin is being given lessons about the control of emotions as a jedi in the midst of battle. This is his first active lesson on real physicality. Anakin is faced with the challenge of succeeding in controlling his emotions during a duel with Obi-Wan.

Anakin is high strung, hard on himself, constantly pushing to perfect every little detail, and when he falls short, he's insecure, angry, feeling dismissed by Obi-Wan, Anakin trying to prove himself, prove he can beat Obi-Wan. Obi is exasperated, not knowing how to handle the situation. He shuts Anakin down, telling him that if he's going to continue to not understand the point of the lesson, to not listen to him, then he should stop. Obi regrets it, and Anakin sulks away, angry at Obi, telling him that he doesn't even care if he becomes a jedi, because he doesn't care about him, stating that he's not Qui-Gon, as he storms away.

Later Obi walks up to Anakin, as he attempts to calm himself. Obi is apologetic, understanding but also direct about Anakin's conflicts, telling him that it's okay to fail, to not always succeed. Anakin tells Obi that Obi doesn't understand what he's feeling. Obi says that he may, because he's felt anger and frustration before, but that as jedi they're responsibility is to accept how they feel, what they feel, and strive to control it, that to control their emotions can help them focus, and that they have to have that focus to help others, beyond themselves.

As they scan Obi's life signs, Leia is afraid for him, feeling his pain. Tala comforts her.

Second flashback is Anakin's trials to become a jedi knight. The clone war has just begun and the jedi council suggest the need for Anakin to be placed at a higher rank for his bravery in the battle of Geonosis. Obi-Wan is asked by the council if Anakin is ready, but Obi is unsure, sensing unbalance with Anakin.

Obi confronts Anakin about his doubts, sensing an unease with him. Anakin admits to him that he went to tatooine to find his mom, discovered that she'd been freed and married someone, then telling him about Owen, then telling him that he found out she'd died. Obi is comforting of this, also feeling responsible because he ignored Anakin's dreams, but also concerned at what this means for him. Obi can sense there's more than Anakin tells him, but doesn't push. Anakin asks him to not tell the council. Obi promises he won't.

At the trial of the council to decide if Anakin's ready, Obi gives his recommendation, in spite of sensing Anakin's conflict.

Third flashback is during The Clone Wars. It's a live action recreation, in part, of the deleted scene from The Clone Wars where Anakin and Obi talk about Ahsoka leaving. Anakin misses Ahsoka, is frustrated, angry, at Ahsoka for leaving, at the council for what happened. Obi attempts to assuage Anakin's feelings, but doesn't know what to say, telling him that he knows Anakin won't fail him.

Fourth flashback is the battle of mustafar at the end of Revenge Of The Sith. Obi strikes at Anakin as he flips over him, cutting his legs and arm off, him rolling down close to the edge of the lava river. Obi tells him that he was his brother and that he loved him.

This flashback however shifts into a shared dreamstate between Vader and Obi, in their respective bacta tanks, where the ground beneath Anakin crumbles and his body slides into the burning lava, him screaming out in agony at being burned alive as Obi watches on in horror.

But Anakin then emerges from the lava, his body morphed into Vader. Vader tells Obi that if he loved him he would've killed him. Obi battles Vader in this state, briefly. Obi takes his arms and legs off again, then his Vader helmet, leaving a helpless, freshly scarred Anakin's face looking up at him, a brief moment of vulnerability showing on his face, asking Obi to please kill him.

Obi, in a moment of dark thoughts, raises the lightsaber and brings the lightsaber down in a swift strike, murdering Anakin in his mind. This moment causes Obi to jerk awake, screaming in horror at what he did, what he, on some level, wants to do, to not only prevent Anakin's pain, but also prevent all that he's done.

Obi climbs out of the tank, still feeling the pain of his burns, healed well enough, but not fully, redressing as he's confronted by the leader of the path, who tells him that as sympathetic as he is to helping them, they're going to have leave soon, as he doesn't want to risk gaining unwanted attention from the empire. Leia comes in and is happy to see Obi okay. He comforts her.

Vader, without his suit, in his hyberbaric chamber room, speaks to Reva about her goals, his face obviously obscured by his healed burns and a breathing mask. This gives Hayden Cristensen more scenes, more to do. She's taken aback by what's been done to him. Vader explains to her what his goals are, how he's in torment just to breathe, just to live and that Kenobi is responsible, and that he's going to punish him for it.

Afterward Obi is shaken, emotionally tormented by what his thoughts are, his mind consumed by the image of him murdering Anakin.

Meanwhile Vader and Reva are in a ship that's traveling through space, tracking the ship, locking in on the coordinates of Obi-Wan's location. Vader knights Reva with the title of Grand Inquisitor, as a reward for her work.

They're informed that they secured the location. Reaching it. Scanning for further life, they say that he's surrounded with other life signs.

Vader then says that that's good, because they can use them to push Obi-Wan, until he can do nothing but break.

EPISODE 5:

This episode opens with a flashback of younglings being trained by a jedi... Until they're shaken by blaster shot noises. The blastdoors open and clone troopers flood the room, opening fire without hesitation. This is the night of Order 66, the jedi purge. The jedi battles them, escaping the room with the younglings. The younglings are confused and terrified. More attack. Some younglings are killed, the jedi protecting the younglings that are left, trying to escape with them.

Fairly similar setup as the actual episode here. Vader wants to coerce Obi-Wan out by attacking the base he's in and threatening the lives of those who are helping him. The point is to make Obi sweat. That is why they don't break down the base's doors immediately. Vader is commanding this from his destroyer, sending Reva down first, to lure Obi into a false sense of security. They have the base surrounded and have the outside power cut.

There's panic, fear, even resentment towards Obi-Wan for what they think is his fault, that the empire has been led to them. Obi doesn't know what to do. He blames himself as well, though not in the way they think. They consider turning him over.

Cody is revealed to be there. He's trimmed his beard and hair. Obi's pleased to see him. Cody thanks him, because he'd forgotten what it meant to help people, be a soldier. Obi says that he was always more than that. Cody says that he took another way out of there and came across the path, them bringing him here.

Cody asks him when he knew that the clones were mind controlled. Obi tells him that it took time, but he eventually put the pieces together once he thought of it. Obi apologizes for the clones that he killed after the purge, saying that if he'd realized they were controlled sooner he'd have found another way, he should've seen it sooner, they all should've. Cody cuts him off, telling him that his brothers would've sooner died than slaughtered the jedi, it was the empire that did the real damage, not Obi. Obi is comforted by this, but also is unsure.

The path only has 2 small ships, and both of those together can only barely contain the children and parents they have, and only one of them has a functioning hyperdrive to escape with. They come up with a plan, as a way to ensure that the children can escape. But they need to open the above hangar doors, so the ship can get out, and since the power has been shut off, they need to reroute the backup power to them, which is only available through a small vent, as this place is an old and damaged building, the original entrance being cut off by a collapsed ceiling, from a battle during the clone wars.

Leia volunteers. Obi is uncertain. Leia tells him that she sees how he never gives up, in spite of the pain she can see he's in, so what right does she to not do something to help those who need it. Obi is proud of her, insisting that she be careful while doing it, and asking Tala to keep her safe.

Cody sees this, asking him who she is. Obi is hesitant to tell him, but eventually confesses that she's Anakin's daughter. Cody is almost proud, saying that that must mean that the rumor about Anakin and Senator Amidala were true. In spite of himself, Obi almost smirks at that, a camaraderie that he's missed. But the smirk does fade at the knowledge of where it led.

Leia, with instructions from Tala, reroutes the backup power.

Obi still goes to try and talk Reva down, realizing that she's hunting Anakin. Cody goes with him, just in case.

Reva tells Obi that the reason she's so aggressive in going after him is because she thinks Anakin is still out there and that Obi can lead her to him, so she can get revenge on him for the family she lost, because she was one of the younglings that was attacked during Order 66, the flashback at the opening of this episode. The jedi who protected her was killed by Anakin and she was shot over the balcony by a clone trooper. She hid among the bodies of other younglings, and was almost found as the clones searched the bodies for survivors, when Obi-Wan and Yoda entered and fought the clones, her escaping as that happened.

That's how she knew that Obi was on coruscant, but only after Bail had arrived, because she'd seen him, as Yoda and Obi-Wan avoided getting recorded to ensure they had the element of surprise and she used public records that show Bail only arrived at the senate hearing around the same time Obi and Yoda were there. Reva reveals that she was captured a year or so later and tortured until she became an Inquisitor.

Obi tells her that Vader is Anakin, that she's been working for the monster she's been hunting, being used by him. He tries to appeal to her jedi instincts, but she rejects that, saying that she only wants revenge now, stating that she now knows how to get it. Cody hears it all.

From his ship, Vader gives the order to destroy the doors as further intimidation, to push them deeper into the base. The stormtroopers set up a canon to destroy the front doors.

Cody asks Obi if it's true. Obi, pained, says that it is, and states that Leia must be protected from him, from the sith, her and her brother. Cody realizes how important this is for Obi, fully, and tells him how sorry he is for him losing his brother like that, like he has. Obi takes solace in his words.

This leads to further panic amongst the people. The doors are blasted open, stormtroopers rushing in. Obi-Wan fights them off with his lightsaber. The stormtroopers push the adults back into the ship docking bay of the building. Tala is shot, her robot taking further shots for her. Obi drags her out to the docking area.

They realize the second blast doors aren't closing. The leader says the wiring must've been frayed by the blaster fire, that's someone's gonna have to go in and have them close manually, but they'll be stuck behind them. Tala's robot takes the sacrifice, getting shot, as it closes the door manually, holding up a grenade the kill the stormtroopers around and itself. Tala's saddened, who Obi comforts, as he looks around at the injured people and feeling the loss of those who were killed.

Vader senses Obi's fear, the fear of those around him, now deciding that it's time for striking, finally taking his shuttle down to the planet, landing in front, and entering the blasted open doors of the base, to find stormtroopers and Reva, whose watching him intently, trying to use the canon on the blast doors, to little avail.

Vader orders them to leave, which they do, even Reva, Vader pulling out his lightsaber, and using it to cut through the sturdier inner blastdoors. It's a slow process, but fast enough for fear to run through the people behind them.

They pile the children, Leia included, along with any wounded, like Tala, onto the functioning hyperdrive ship.

Obi tells Leia that they'll ensure she gets back to her parents. Before she leaves, she asks if Obi at least knew her mother, to which Obi tells her that he did and her dad. She asks if they'll see eachother again. Obi says he doesn't know. Leia thanks him and when Obi tries to give her back lola which he hasn't fixed yet, she tells him to return it to her and she'll know he's okay, then as she's shuffled into the ship giving him a grateful look.

Obi tells Cody to ensure she gets to Bail on Alderran, to take them there so these children and wounded can be taken care of. Cody protests, stating that he can't leave Obi here, he can't leave him to possibly die. Obi insists, telling Cody that he has nothing to make up for by helping him now, that their pilot was just killed in the stormtrooper attack, that these people need him to fly them out, and that there is no one he trusts more with Leia's life than him.

Cody looks at the people, before finding the resolve and agreeing, telling him that it's been an honor serving him, calling him General.

Vader breaks through the doors, in time to see one of the ships take off, him stopping it mid air, beginning to pull it down.

As he does this, Reva takes her opportunity, igniting her lightsaber to kill Vader in revenge. But Vader stops her with the force, holding the ship in place, this taking all his power.

But he's unable to stop the second ship as it takes off, the children in it. They activate the hyperdrive, escaping with the children.

Vader fully pulls down the first ship, tearing off the sides, Obi-Wan being the Pilot of that one, the parents on the ship. Obi exits it and, begrudgingly, takes out his lightsaber.

Vader sees his fear and mocks it, telling Obi that he was wise to let Reva be used as a distraction and these people as a way to hide, lifting him up with the force and pinning him to the wall, as well. Vader tells Obi that he wants him to see this, letting Reva go and, to prove a point to Obi-Wan, duels her, beating her the same way, but better choreographed, before he stabs her, leaving her to die in front of Obi, so that he can witness the consequences of his actions.

Vader has all the parents taken by the stormtroopers, and once they've left, he tells a still pinned Obi that he knows he won't personally let the people die. Vader explains that if Obi wants these prisoners to live, he will come to him, give himself up willingly, for one more duel, and if Obi wins, he will let the prisoners go free.

Obi begs him to stop, to not hurt anyone else, calling him Anakin. Vader, enraged at the use of his name, chokes Obi.

Vader tells him that Anakin died with his wife and child, left for dead, that when Anakin lost everything, he ceased to be, and that was Obi's fault. He states that Obi will pay for that, because Vader will take everything from him, break his spirit, until he has lost all the drive he has.

Vader arrogantly states that he will give Obi time prepare, so that he can stand some chance against him, telling him that he will find him where Anakin Skywalker died.

Vader leaves Obi and a dying Reva.

Obi is angry, shaken. He's willing to confront Anakin now, he has to. In spite of this, he still patches up Reva. Reva doesn't understand why he's helping her. Obi is despondent. After patching her up Obi simply leaves Reva for a moment to himself.

Obi ponders what he thinks he has to do, the vision he had of him killing Anakin, the feelings he has right now, the idea of killing Vader, for everything he's done and everything he could do, haunted by them.

Obi reaches out, asking for help, admitting that he feels he failed Anakin because he let himself become attached to Anakin, that's what he hasn't wanted to admit to himself, the idea that he broke the jedi code, that he failed not just Anakin, but Qui-Gon as well. In this moment, he allows himself to truly connect and hears Qui-Gon speak to him. Obi opens his eyes, finally reuniting with Qui-Gon.

EPISODE 6:

The episode opens on a flashback of a child Obi-Wan becoming Qui-Gon's padawan. Obi-Wan is rigid, tense, hard on himself, insecure about his shortcomings. Qui-Gon, seeing this in Obi-Wan, kneels, presenting himself face to face with Obi-Wan, telling him to relax, breathe, focus. Obi-Wan is confused. Qui-Gon explains to him that Yoda has told him that Obi's very efficient in lightsaber dueling, and strong in the force. Obi-Wan is feeling fairly pleased with himself at this. But Qui-Gon then cuts that short when he tells him that his perception is different from Yoda's, from seeing the holovids of his training. Qui-Gon tells him that he can see his connection with the force, see his skills, but also sees that he can become lost in a single action, and it opens him up to unexpected attacks, lack of knowledge of what surrounds him.

To showcase this, Qui-Gon swiftly makes a move with the force, pulling Obi-Wan's legs out from under him, but stopping him from hitting to the ground, holding him just above it. Qui-Gon explains that as a duelist, he doesn't focus on the force, and while using the force he doesn't focus on his defenses. He gently sits Obi-Wan down.

Obi-Wan begins to get back up, Qui-Gon extending his hand, which Obi ignores, frustrated. Qui-Gon, seeing that, tells him that it's okay to admit that he feels displeased, then explaining to him that accepting emotion is what it means to be a jedi, that to accept their emotions is to gain better understanding of them, and better understanding of themselves as well, and that can help them control their emotion. Obi is struck by Qui-Gon's wisdom, then admitting that he was afraid that he would show himself unworthy to be his apprentice, that he'd fail. Qui-Gon tells him that that's okay to feel that, that it's okay to fail, but that it's essential to get back up, always, because you can never move forward if you don't. Qui-Gon gives Obi a reassuring smile, which he relaxes at.

Cut from that to present day, as Obi-Wan, frustrated, asks Qui-Gon where he's been. Qui-Gon tells him that he wasn't ready to connect with him. Obi inquires as to why. Qui-Gon tells him that only now was he ready to accept that what he feels is what's driving him, and that only understanding of self brings this connection.

Obi, in shame, admits that he thinks he failed Anakin by becoming attached to him, that he let this happen because he refused to accept that something was really wrong, that he thinks he broke the jedi code and this is all his punishment for it.

Qui-Gon tells him that he's carried this guilt for so long, but that it's not the truth. Obi is taken aback by this, insisting that Anakin was his student, that if he had let himself be detached he could've stopped it, that Anakin was his responsibility, is his responsibility, and that's why he must put a stop to him, once and for all. Qui-Gon asks Obi if he really believes that. Obi tells him that he has to, stating that no one else will suffer from his mistakes, that he will kill Anakin, and he will do it without Qui-Gon if he has to.

Qui-Gon tells him that he can't do this, he can't lose himself. Obi, more angry, tells him that he hasn't been here and he doesn't know him, and if he wanted a say in this he should've been here, that he should've been the one to train Anakin, that he shouldn't have been Obi's responsibility. Qui-Gon shows his remorse and heartbreak on his face, as Obi, showing his shame and guilt for what he said, walks past Qui. Qui-Gon simply whispers that for him to be mindful of the living force.

From there we cut to Luke getting dressed. This scene parallels the one from the first episode showing Leia do the same, the similarities and contrasts emphasized: Luke's clothes being more simple, but still put on the same. Luke doing it himself without servants, but also with a showcase of his disinterest in the duties set out for him.

Luke goes to breakfast, with Owen and Beru. Owen tells Luke that he wants his help fixing up the moisture vaporators in the back, as they're acting up. Luke is not happy about that, saying that they always need fixing. Owen tells him that he has to get to know how this all works, so he can fix it himself. Luke's frustration with his situation worn on his sleeve, says he doesn't want to. Owen tells him that it's something he needs to learn. Luke snaps that Owen's not his dad, he can't tell him what to do. Owen is hurt by this. Luke regrets it, but doesn't say anything, just stews in his resentment for a second, before getting up out of his chair and storming off.

Obi meets Reva on his way to her ship, her injuries still harming her. Obi is angry. Reva, feeling something emanating from the area, asks Obi what that was, who he was talking to. Obi says that he was talking to someone from long ago. Reva states that she felt something powerful. But before Obi can explain, he sees Reva is beginning bleed out more. In spite of his frustration, he asks Reva if she has a medpac in her ship. She says she does.

Obi tries to get her to it, but she's apprehensive, not sure why he's trying to help her, asking why. Obi tells her it's because he understands what she lost, that he lost everything just like her. Reva rejects what she calls his pity, saying that she doesn't need anyone. Obi asks her where that's gotten her, stating that she let empire use her to hurt others, to hurt her own, to get revenge, become no different than Anakin.

Reva becomes enraged at that, getting in Obi's face, still in pain, telling him to silence himself. Obi then asks her if she's willing to let herself be what Anakin is, help him destroy more families, more lives, put more children through what happened to her. Reva, conflicted, states that she's never put children in harm's way. Obi tells her that she put Leia in harm's way. Reva, in shame, realizes that Obi's right, and begins to accept and say that she's compromised so much, she didn't let herself see it, her getting upset.

Obi has a moment of compassion, telling her that this doesn't have to be the end, that if she understands what she's done, then she knows why she can't let it happen again. Reva realizes, and speaks it, that Obi needs her help. Obi tells her that if he fails, he dies, those refugees die with him, stating that whether he or Anakin win, he can distract him enough to ensure she can rescue them. Obi then asks her if she's willing to help him to try and fix their mistakes.

On Alderran, Bail and Breha are worried, concerned about not having received word from Obi. Bail suggests if they have been caught, Owen with Luke could be found out, as well. Breha asks what they should do. Bail says that he asked Obi-Wan to rescue the girl they charged themselves with protecting, so it's their duty, if they were caught because of that, to protect the boy on tatooine Obi-Wan charged himself to.

They're alerted by their guards that they've been contacted by a ship entering their atmosphere, telling them that Leia is on board. Bail and Breha tell his guards that they allow it to dock, but use caution. He and Breha go to the docking area with armed guards, unsure of what to expect.

The ship lands, and the doors open, Leia emerging first, running to and hugging her mom and dad. They embrace her, crying tears of joy, so happy to see their daughter.

Cody, the other children behind him, begin to slowly, cautiously emerge. He walks up to Bail with caution, to show he's peaceful. Bail recognizes that he's a clone. Cody tells them who he is and that the Path was smuggling those who fear the empire or are being hunted by them, out of their systems, telling him that a mutual friend said Bail could be trusted because these people had nowhere else to go after the empire found their base. Leia says they have to help them. Bail, with some thought, agrees. Bail asks where their friend is, if he was captured. Cody says that he doesn't know.

Vader awaits Obi-Wan, when he receives a message from the Palpatine. Vader, with some hesitancy, answers the message, Palpatine condescendingly asking about his use of resources in his vendetta against Kenobi. Vader tells him that Kenobi will pay for what he's done to him. Palpatine tells him to not allow his previous life to cloud his judgement, to put an end to this tonight and he won't be given a second chance to.

On their way to Mustafar, Obi tries to focus himself, ready himself for battle, but he struggles as it, his conflict tearing at him, as Reva watches him (after having destroyed the ship tracker, saying that mat give them some advantage of surprise), unsure what to do. She asks if he is connecting, admitting that she misses that feeling and hasn't felt it in a long time. He admits that he hasn't either, he was too afraid to, because of the empire, that anything he could do would bring danger. Now, he can't focus.

Reva is concerned, asking him if he'll be ready for this, to fight Vader. Obi tells her that he has to be, because all he has left are the futures of those Anakin could hurt, and he can never let them fall into Anakin's hands. He says that he now understands that until one of them is dead, Anakin will hunt him and could find them, one way or another and after everything Anakin's done, this is Obi's responsibility to put a stop to it.

Reva herself has a moment of compassion for Obi and asks him if he can remind her their exercises to calm herself. And this does assist Obi in his thoughts going to trying to help her.

Back on tatooine at night, Beru and Owen discuss Luke, and what to do. Beru still encourages that Luke be given something to connect to his dad with. Owen contemplates this, telling her that he knows what it feels like to not know his real mother too, as she left not long after he was born, and that Shmi was the only mother he's ever known, that he can't let Luke know who his dad was, can't let him suffer Anakin's fate, can't let Shmi's last remaining family be lost.

Luke stands outside in the open area, looking up at the stars, similar to Leia looking up at the sky in the first episode, a longing-ness presented. Biggs contacts Luke on his walkie talkie, telling him that jabba's thugs are back in town harassing people for water again. Luke's anger peaks at that, exclaiming that they just did that a couple days ago. Biggs tells him Jabba's people must be wanting to throw their weight around. Luke's frustration rises and he asks Biggs to come to his place. Biggs says sure, but why?

Obi lands the ship on the shores of mustafar and exits it, looking out at Vader's Castle. He tells Reva to wait until he's inside before she gets near, so that Vader will be distracted. Obi tells Reva that he can sense that there's no guards in the castle, so she should

He walks to the castle, enters it and, feeling Vader's presence, follows that feeling, leading into a circular chamber of cells where the people are being held (only the outer bars of cells being visible in this room, while the doors are on the other side of the cell), the glow of the lava flowing through the castle's tube system that runs to the other side of the river into the lavafall.

Meanwhile Reva enters the castle, following the hallways and feeling out where the people are.

In the castle, Obi sees a stone staircase at the back of the chamber, which Vader stands at the top of, Obi looking up at him. Vader asserts that he came as he steps down to Obi. Obi replies that he knew he would. Vader confirms that he knew Obi would be desperate to prove himself as a jedi, to prove that he wasn't a failure. Obi tells Vader that he's come to put an end to this. Vader, pulling out his lightsaber, is almost amused beneath his anger as he tells Obi that he will fail, igniting the saber, asking if Obi is finally ready to battle him. Obi holds his silence, takes out his saber, readies his stance and ignites, saying that he is.

They both attack eachother at the same time, Obi's fighting far more aggressive than usual.

Their sabers clash. Obi's aggression rising at it's peak as he hears the people in the cells asking for help, though Vader's tactics being the one to force Obi even still on the defensive in comparison, pushing him backwards onto and up the stone steps. Vader quickly makes a slice at Obi's feet, but Obi is quick to avoid, quickly stepping back, but Vader is quick too, making a lunge at Obi in the moment he's on the backfoot, but Obi is prepared, bring his saber to block it.

Obi uses their lightsaber's pressing against eachother, to turn them in opposite directions and quickly slashes at the ground at Vader's feet, making him step back, Obi then swinging at Vader's head, slashing at the side of Vader's helmet, this clearly throws Vader off his footing entirely, Obi having the clear upper hand, now being the one to push Vader back. Vigorously attacking with his saber, Obi pushes Vader back down the stone steps, and then in a quick movement reaches out to crush his control box on his chest, which slows Vader even more, him dropping his saber and forces him to his knees.

Obi sees the seemingly defeated Vader and raises his saber to deal a fatal blow, just like in his nightmare. But he hesitates, and when Vader looks up at him, the broken helmet showing his burned face, the broken damaged man underneath it, Obi can't do it, his compassion for Anakin winning out.

Obi lowers the saber, filled with remorse for what he nearly did, what happened to Anakin years ago, calling him by his name: Anakin. Vader tells him that Anakin is gone, and that he's all there is now. Obi wants to try and tells him that he's sorry, for everything, telling him that they can fix this.

For the briefest moment, Anakin's eyes show a flash of sadness, before igniting in rage, exclaiming that Obi DARES to show him mercy. Vader's rage flares within him, as he pulls his saber back to himself and slashes at the ground Obi stands upon, pushing him back, then tears stone from the walls around him, hurling them at Obi, bringing parts of the chamber's ceiling down on him (the outer walls cracking), nearly crushing him, but he avoids it, though it catches his legs, Vader slowing the fall of the stone to hold him in place rather than crush them.

Vader states that Obi is still too weak to finish things and he's so disappointing, then telling him that he will make Obi watch these people die and kill him finally.

Reva has made it to the outer part of the cell chambers, the people at first afraid of her, her telling them that she came to help. She quickly tries to get the mechanism to unlock the doors.

Obi tries to use the force to lift the rock, but his emotions are unfocused, he's torn up at what he nearly did, what Vader's going to do, and in this desperate moment asks for Qui-Gon's help.

Qui-Gon's hand extends, resting on Obi's shoulder, Qui telling Obi that it's going to be okay. Obi, emotional, tells Qui that he's sorry for what he said.

Qui says they all make mistakes, saying that Obi did feel attachment for Anakin, it's something as jedi they all can have to face in their emotions, in learning to control them, admitting that he himself became attached the idea of his responsibility, confessing that he didn't perceive the true darkness around them, didn't maintain his balance of being mindful of the living force and the cosmic force, because he thought it was his responsibility to ensure the galaxy's balance and that blinded him. Qui then confesses that that's something he took on from his mentor, and that the guilt Obi feels for making this mistake is what's tormenting him and that failure is on Qui.

Obi refuses that, saying that he failed Qui-Gon as well as failing Anakin, that he didn't train him the way Qui would've, but tried to train him as Yoda would, that he betrayed Qui's memory by doing that.

Qui states that, no, that he failed Obi, by placing a duty on him when he had no right to, by placing that responsibility he felt onto Obi, he burdened Obi and Obi has defined himself by that, saying that he's sorry for it, continuing that we all fail, but you can't let it define your life or you can lose yourself, and that is how Anakin became lost. Qui stating that he shouldn't have forced that responsibility on him, it should've always been his choice. But states that Obi's wiser than he is and knows how to let go of this, but that he's afraid to, because he thinks it'd mean betraying the Anakin he knew.

Obi has a moment of emotional swallowing and acceptance, and admits to himself and Qui that he can't save Anakin, couldn't save Anakin, that there's nothing he can do, that he can't undo what's been done, that he's powerless. Qui states that he can't, stating that to understand that you are powerless can help you to understand that you are apart of something greater, that we make choices, but can never control the outcome, that Obi can't control what will or won't be, only what he does with the path he's given, even when they fall.

Qui extends his hand to Obi, asking what is essential that we always must do when we fall. Obi's face becomes steely with resolve and he states to always get back up, taking Qui's hand, and standing up, obviously not with Qui's actual physical help, more symbolic, as Obi, now with focus, is using the force to lift the stone off of his legs, allowing him to stand.

The music rises as Obi-Wan does, unafraid, focused, certain. Vader turns back to him, saying that he's not yet broken. Obi brings his lightsaber back to himself and replies that he never will be, as he reignites it. Vader does the same and says that it's only a matter of time, making the first strike at him.

Reva realizes that she has to act fast and ignites her saber, using it to slash at the doors of the cells, releasing the people.

In the middle of continuing fight, Vader senses this, realizing that Obi brought the traitor Reva. Vader uses the force to choke Obi in that moment so he can reach out to pull down the ceiling onto the escapees, but Obi slashes at his arm as he does so, preventing it.

This allows Reva to get the people out of the chamber and out of the castle, rushing to her ship.

Vader states that there's nothing left for him to fight for, asking him what he thinks he can accomplish: No matter who he tries to help he will only fail them like he did him, destroy them, like he did Anakin. Obi admits that he did fail Anakin, he didn't see Anakin's struggles, didn't want to see them and what could happen because he loved him and he burdened him with the pressure of being a great jedi, but then states cleanly that he didn't kill Anakin though, that Vader destroyed Anakin's life, took his wife and child from him, and from that Vader was truly born, firmly stating that Vader killed Anakin.

Vader becomes enraged and lashes out against Obi at this. Obi fights back, they're evenly matched, Vader's anger bringing a formidable attack, but Obi's focus and tactics is able to hold him off. Vader makes a reckless tactic and slices at the inner chamber of the lava flowing through his castle with his lightsaber, the lava beginning to pour in, it coming between them.

Vader, enraged, eyes glowing with anger, states that Obi will burn.

Obi and Vader look at eachother one last time(Vader's eyes enflared with anger and almost sadness, Obi's eyes filled with sadness and pity) as the lava pours between them until it blocks their view of eachother. Obi uses the force to hold it back from himself, but he can't fully, that part of the castle beginning to crack underneath him, pieces from the wall falling into the lavafall below the castle.

Reva and the people get into the ship, and, sensing what's going on, decides after a moment's hesitation to go back for him, instructing the leader of the path to get the ship over to the side of the castle, which he does, her opening the cargo hatch. Reva stands on the edge of the hatch, reaching out to Obi, stating that he has to leap to her, and they can pull themselves towards eachother with the force. Obi agrees, and leaps out the broken wall, pulling towards her and her pulling him to her as well, just in time for the crumbling part of the castle he stood upon to fall off the edge into the lava.

Obi thanks Reva for this, and she thanks him. In this moment, Obi senses something in his now returned focus, that Luke is in danger, and he quickly instructs Reva that he has to get to tatooine and then she can return these people to their families.

Back on tatooine, Beru goes to check on Luke to get him for dinner, finding that he's gone. She tells Owen, both of their concern shown on their face.

Luke and Biggs are watching from afar on the side of a sandhill with binoculars as Jabba's thugs, with the water they'd taken in their speeder, drinking inside a tatooine bar. Luke shows his anger at this, and decides to get the water, so they can take it back to the people. Biggs thinks Luke is crazy, telling him not to. Luke is fired up and does it anyway.

Biggs is freaking out, but holds back. He waits a second, unsure, seeing Luke quickly creep up to the speeder, uncovering the tarp. Biggs, with begrudgement, starts to go over to Luke to help, but sees the thugs exit the bar and hides again, signaling to Luke about it, who when he sees as well, swiftly crawls into the back and covers himself up. Biggs is terrified for Luke.

Obi is now on tatooine, in town, rushing to his eopie from the landing pad. In that moment, he senses the danger Luke is in at this moment and reaches out to sense Luke's location. Sensing his distance, he knows the eopie can't get him there in time. In a moment of frustration, he looks around, seeing the speeder of the boss who shortchanged the employee in the premiere, him passed out drunk in the seat. Obi cocks an eyebrow, getting an idea.

Back with Owen and Beru, they're looking for Luke, yelling for him. Biggs pulls up on his skyhopper, and, panicked, tells them what's happened. Beru and Owen are freaked out, asking where they are.

Luke is hiding in the back of the speeder, the water tanks banging back and forth. One of the tanks turns over and hits Luke, him grunting in pain at it. The thugs bring the speeder to a halt, having heard him. After getting out, they go to the back, pulling the tarp off, seeing Luke.

In anger they pull him out and throw him to the ground, asking him what he thinks he's doing. Luke is afraid, but defiant, telling them that they hurt people and that someone had to stand up to them, stating that he's not afraid of them. They, with a laugh at him, strike him in the face, knocking him out, when suddenly the lights of the speeder are blown out.

In the dark, Obi emerges into the sight of the thugs and swiftly takes them down, and then with a jedi mind trick, tells them to take the water back to the people, and tell Jabba that they lost it in a sand beast attack and never again to take more from people than they can give.

Owen and Beru, having gathered their rifles, are ready to get in their speeder and go after the thugs, when another speeder pulls up, the lights shining too bright in the dark for them to see. Owen and Beru ready their rifles in fear.

The person, getting out and walking towards them, revealing that it's Obi carrying Luke. Owen and Beru slowly lower their rifles and rush towards him, taking Luke from Obi, Beru clutching him tight and Obi standing back, exchanging a look of respect between them all.

Later that night, Luke wakes up and hugs Owen and Beru, saying he's sorry. Owen and Beru are stern, but comforting, telling Luke that they're proud of him, but that he has to be careful and can never put himself in danger like that. Luke tells them that he had to do something, he wanted to do the right thing.

Owen sits down and tells Luke that he can do the right thing and still be careful and that that's something Luke's dad knew, because he was someone who took a job on a spice freighter that was for a republic official disposal of spice, as a navigator to provide for his family, he tried to do the right thing at what was a careful job, and he died in a crash, but he was still a good man.

On mustafar, Vader stands looking out of the cracked broken front of his castle, hollow and contemplative. He's informed of another message from the Emperor. Palpatine congratulates Vader on his victory. Vader is solemn, saying he's not sure of his death, but also saying that it doesn't matter, stating he now understands that Kenobi wasn't holding him back, that Anakin Skywalker was, that Palpatine was right. Palpatine says of course he was. Vader affirms that Anakin is dead. Palpatine tells Vader to remember what he is. Vader says that he is what Palpatine made him and he won't forget that, as his fist is held tightly in anger.

The next morning the drunk boss wakes up with his speeder returned to him.

Meanwhile, Leia is getting dressed on her own, not with the help of servants this time. She talks to Bail, telling them that they have to do more to help people, and Bail agrees, him telling her that they will. Leia asks if they've heard anything about Ben, but he says not yet.

They then get a report from the security of another ship coming, this time an imperial ship, and, being cautious, they approach the landing pad, seeing Reva exit it, with the rest of the people, all those parents being reunited with their kids.

Reva has a moment of catharsis seeing these families reunited and presents herself to Bail and Breha, telling them that she's responsible for the danger their daughter was in and she accepts their punishment. But, with insistence from Leia, they forgive her and tell her that her punishment can be to ensure these families find places where they'll be safe and protect them. Reva, with much emotional gratefulness, gives the fixed lola droid to Leia, telling her that Ben is still alive and that he wanted this to be returned to her. Cody sees and hears this with relief.

Bail takes Leia on a trip to tatooine, to Owen and Beru's moisture farm, where Bail meets Owen (as Leia waits in the speeder) and tells Owen, whose not really sure who he is, that he paid off mortgage on the moisture farm and when Owen asks why, Bail tells him that he knows what it's like to be responsible for a remarkable child. Owen understands at seeing Leia, and says, that Bail is like him. Owen asks if the daughter is okay (in concern for Shmi's other grandchild), and Bail says that she is. In a moment of connection, Bail and Owen shake hands. As this happens, Luke is playing with his ship and he looks at Leia and she looks at him and they wave at eachother. As Bail and Leia leave, Obi watches from afar.

Obi packs up his cave, deciding to leave for a more secure location. He visits Owen, who tells Obi thank you for helping Luke. Obi tells him that he was right for wanting Luke's protection and Obi is going to step back, saying that he understands now that he can't control the past or the future, just what he does in the moment, so that anything Luke does will be his choice and not something he's pushed into. Obi tells Owen Luke is a good kid and that he'll still be there if he's needed, but at a distance.

In a type of montage we see: Obi connecting with Qui Gon who is teaching him, at his new home, which he mind tricked that boss into letting him stay and give people the wage he agreed to give them first. Cody, whose now the personal guard for Bail and Breha and Leia. Reva, now the protector the refugees as they're settling on a planet. Luke, Owen and Beru working on the farm together.

Then finally Obi riding his eopie through the desert and, seeing people being attacked by some raiders, has decided that he's going to help those who need it on tatooine when and where he can, no longer holding back his jedi instincts, but keeping hidden and making himself seem like some type of desert wraith. With a smirk, Obi lifts his hood up over his head and continues forward.

END.

Post credits scene is one of the lower level thugs that worked for the ones Reva hired, having been brought before someone who sits on a throne in the shadows, explaining that the heads of the spice operation were killed by an Inquisitor who was cover their tracks, so he knows very little, but he knows that this was about them drawing a jedi out. The leader stands up from the throne and walks into the light, revealing himself to be Maul and says to tell him who the jedi was.

That's it! PLEASE review and tell me what you think!

@ProfessorWhy - It's the default for the article type.

What do you think of the pitch actually? This one and the others?

@Lisa89 - That does the show better to me, but it's still doesn't fully work for me, because I think the show's story isn't strongly done for me and loses interesting character interactions and moments. What do you think of this?
Lisa89
Lisa89 - 8/24/2024, 11:43 AM
@dagenspear - Of course, it's far from perfect, but it's the best "fix" we'll get short of a complete do-over (which will never happen).

I think the best rework would be to just cut some parts out and make it a movie. Same with Boba Fett. Both shows had a lot of unnecessary filler to push it to show length imo.

Also, I like how this article is not described as an overhaul, but is really detailed anyway. Had me fooled.
dagenspear
dagenspear - 8/24/2024, 5:08 AM
@bkmeijer1 - the only major overhaul parts of it is about 2 episodes, the finale and the 4th episode. The rest are details for building those things up. The main story is the same. What do you think?

bkmeijer1 - 8/24/2024, 8:30 AM
@dagenspear - true. Can definitely appreciate the effort putting it into making it so detailed. Kinda wonder how long it took

bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 8/24/2024, 11:01 AM
@dagenspear - I just did, and it's quite extensive (some long, very descriptive sentences). I definitely like the nightmare/flashbacks, Vader vs Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon appearing earlier and having Reva actually do something a lot though.

Also, that post-credit scene would've been cool. I do hope we get to see some more of Maul and his Syndicate in live-action soon.
dagenspear
dagenspear - 8/24/2024, 11:54 AM
@bkmeijer1 - I liked the idea of Reva having a role in Obi's story, instead of what the show did and had her off in her own plot, along with the show just not really having her character have a lot of development and kinda just stopping once she decided to not be a villain, but there's not exploration of what she does now.

I think this pitch far more explores the characters and their interactions.


For instance, I really like Owen and Bail meeting (and exploring Owen's emotions about Shmi in connection with Luke and Leia), and Obi personally coming to the perception that Vader is Anakin's killer, rather than Vader tell him that, and this all leaving Vader to try and further repress his Anakin identity and refocus himself to trying to overthrow Palpatine, and Obi and Cody finding a reconciliation of what happened in Order 66 (admittedly I think the Cody thing was at least partially from a supposed draft of the Obi Wan Kenobi movie that was done by Stuart Beattie, at least in them teaming up).

bkmeijer1 - 8/24/2024, 11:57 AM
@dagenspear - yeah it does. Maybe I should look up that draft. Could be interesting too

@bkmeijer1 - Any other thoughts you may have?

Also, I posted a Book Of Boba Fett Redo before as well, which also is very overly described at the end (lol, maybe it's a me issue):

Wanting to finish up a Mando season 3 redo, though that's far less done than these were when I got back to finishing them not long ago. I thank God, if He wills, He blessed me with that though.

@dagenspear - that's pretty much it. Could always just drop the Mandalorian one in two parts. Makes ot easier for reading, and gives you some time work on it.

Wow.
Somebody has way too much time on their hands.
