Hitching a ride with a star-nosed mole man (voiced by Zach Braff, who, for some reason, does a perfect Seth Rogen impression), Obi and Leia trust the wrong rat and end up in a killer roadblock scene that sees undercover rebel Tia (Indira Varma from Game Of Thrones) save the day. Not yet the wise old Jeremy Corbyn-type of the original trilogy, but still a much calmer version of the hotshot Jedi we saw in the prequels, his default mood here is grumpiness.Įpisode Three of #ObiWanKenobi is now streaming on /c7tGxeMSjF
Obi-Wan, meanwhile, is still finding his path. But, crucially, Obi-Wan Kenobi has already given us the Vader we’ve been waiting 45 years to see. With James Earl Jones (!) back providing Darth’s iconic voice, Hayden Christensen ends up doing a lot less work for his credit (presumably he’s still the guy behind the mask?). Last week’s Vader tease re-opens the story this week with a full look at Darth’s dressing room, before we see him fully suited-up and sat in his volcano lair barking orders to his Inquisitors. Little Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) is still on the run with Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor), and the Third Sister (Moses Ingram), desperate to make a name for herself after gutting the Grand Inquisitor, is still hunting them down. Part III of the Disney+ series has less to prove than its opening episodes, and that breathing space buys the show a bit of much-needed time. Obi-Wan Kenobi, though, is changing all of that, filling in the blanks to finally show us why everyone in the galaxy runs a mile whenever they hear him wheezing.
Despite choking out a few of his own men and ordering planet strikes from a distance, the Vader we see in the original Star Wars trilogy isn’t anywhere near as evil as his reputation might have you believe. For one of cinema’s greatest bad guys, Darth Vader has never really been that bad.
