I thought the same before the show and I agree it would be dumb to bring him back for nothing but what would they show? We had 3 movies and the clone wars series to go through their relationship. Maybe a few brief visions like what we saw a few episodes ago?
Absolutely loved it. So much Vader
So we got our reason for bringing Hayden in. Thought it was well done weaving it throughout the plot and then Obi fooled him at the end. “last time I saw you I was but a learner”
Vader leaving third sister alive didn’t make any sense other than Vader just doesn’t think she’s even worth it.
Man I just don’t get how a Star Wars fan could dislike that episode. But to each their own.
IIRC, Vader brings up Ashoka helping him find Obi Wan in Rebels. Vader thinks he’s still alive.
Maybe if ol' Ani had listened to his masters, he'd "win" more when it counts. As Obi Wan showed us, Anakin/Vader's aggression makes him his own worst enemy.
Sorry I just fine a group of civilians killing multiple stormtroopers while not losing any civilians, a 10 year old girl fixing electric issues and Vader not just killing the third sister ridiculous story telling.
Winning doesn’t always mean killing, does it?
Why waste all that time setting up heavy guns when the Third Sister could have just walked up to the door and sliced it in half?
If that’s what you are focused on after that episode then Star Wars probably isn’t your thing. Almost every movie or tv show they’ve done has had multiple moments of complete ridiculousness. We love it because it’s nostalgic and because it absolutely rules, not because it’s well-written. A new hope is one of the dumbest written movies I’ve ever seen, who cares?
I mean, I wasn't assuming Vader was sitting around knitting mittens between getting lavafied and choking people out on Leia's ship in the 1st movie, but seeing him actually getting up to no good kinda limits my happiness for this guy going to Force ghost heaven once he croaked.
In these cases I’d say yes unless you imprison them. It’s been established in this series they are killing any force sensitives. He wiped the floor with Third Sister but voluntarily failed the mission. With Ashoka and Ezra not killing them helped doom the Empire. Ezra eliminated one of their best strategists and Ashoka was a key leader in the rebellion.
I'll see this, and raise you laser swords, force ghosts, and teddy bears beating an Imperial military. Star Wars has always been ridiculous story telling. This isn't Breaking Bad, it's mindless escapist fantasy, and always has been, from day one.
Totally forgot about the teddy bear army taking down the empire. Can you imagine, even for a second, if that happened today? Disney etc would be absolutely annihilated for that — instead, the same people doing most of the snark now (not anybody in this thread) feel like that is the some of the peak Star Wars
The American Colonials and Viet Cong were "teddy bear" armies too. They each bested far better equipped armies. Look at Ukraine versus what appeared be a far superior Russian army. History is full of examples of rag tag groups beating superior forces.
Also Luke and Leia are the biggest secrets in the galaxy but hey lets have a hologram message detailing exactly where they are and what they are doing that anyone can see
I fully believe this was a deleted scene that Lucas cut for time.
That is what Filoni and Favs have been trying to do. They were involved here but it’s not their full show either. What didn’t fit lore? There was some poor writing, on-sense decisions, and cheese, but I thought it fit.
They need to kick Kathleen Kennedy to the damn curb and give the job to Jon Favreau and not look back
Agree, she has not been good for the franchise. Let Favreau and Filoni steward this thing going forward.
In the end, the love for his son overcame evil and was his redemption. I can accept it.
Kind of crazy that it is even a discussion, let alone a civil war. Her record is not good with the franchise, at least from building a solid foundation/strategy. She has made a ton of money for Disney though, which is likely what is keeping her afloat.
Exactly. Anakin had a measure of redemption even if he didn't pay the full price of atonement (which in his case would be high on impossible).
We'll see if he faces Kenobi again in the 6th episode (not Episode VI) if he goes to 2 hands.
I think this is true of some of the sequels. I also think Disney has realized their mistakes in that series and learned from them.
