So.... Episode 4 just bored me to tears. Seemed like total filler.

even WITHOUT practicing and even just the little bit of meditation to connect with Qui Gon attracted the untrained likes of Nari to him, and in turn the Inquisitors detected Nari's presence- that was danger enough, just the meditation
a Jedi like Nari had a high level of natural Force sensitivity, obviously, the Inquisitors must have had this as well, probably one of the reasons they were selected

i am sorry you do not like the show, do not like the character
but where in any of the movies was they anything resembling character reveal- exposure, of any depth? there wasn't the movies were just set up for quick action good guys v bad guys
the shows are being used to finally give some exposition into who some of these characters are as people and not merely just characters in an action sequence
if you do not like it, turn it off, simple

Thank god this episode was better than the last one. I'm also very much on the fence though as to whether this is worth watching. I mean, I'll watch it, because what else am I gonna do, but it may be kind of a drag.
Obviously the "Obi-Wan and Reva plotting to kill Vader together" was never going to work, since there is TOT, so that whole thing was rather uninteresting. Vader was shown stronger than ever before in this episode. Force-grabbing a starship in the process of taking off and putting it back on the ground. Force-ripping the starship like a tin of sardines. Calmly force-fighting Reva and pushing her around. That fight was interesting. But during this episode I had to think back to a previous episode where Vader faced off with Obi-Wan and basically cast him into fire. The time when Obi-Wan was surrounded by flames but his long hair didn't even singe. That was totally weird. And why didn't Vader just finish the job then? Is he toying with Obi-Wan and living for the thrill of the hunt? Why is Vader so much stronger in this episode than he was in the other episode, or than any other part of Star Wars we have ever seen him? I don't know, but this could just be the worst Star Wars show I've ever seen. Not that I've seen many. I like The Mandalorian and I also liked The Book of Boba Fett. Those were much better than this show, in my opinion.
O, by the way, that scene with Anakin and Obi-Wan sparring in the past... Anakin is clearly so much older than he was in that time. That is not fooling anyone!

By the way, it seems that my "prediction" of Reva joining Obi-Wan's side wasn't that far-fetched after all. Even now, as Vader left her to die on the planet, we didn't actually see her die, so she will surely be back. I expect that she'll be back either on Obi-Wan's side, or as a "neutral" party just out for her own interests.

Re
praising her and promoting her lifted her ego-- fed her dark side, making that ability stronger so Vader could use her at her best to find Kenobi
could the have done it better-- sure
Just like Second Sister was used by Vader and the GI to hunt down Cere Junda and other Jedi by using her innate ability to predict the behavior of those they hunted.
Reva is ONLY an Inquisitor for her very strong innate Force sensing abilities-- like Bloodhound or bomb sniffing dog that DOESN'T need trained

a lot like Maul then with his motives? he ended up being neither Sith or Jedi; just out for his own interests which were killing Palpatine and Vader and "settling" with Kenobi

Maybe so. But I'm not familiar with that Maul story line. Must have happened in a show I haven't seen.
Hmmm......how to process that finale....
1) Good fight between Obi Wan and Vader - it served well to put Obi Wan's character back on track.
2) Reva? Basically the end result is she served no purpose in the episode - the series could EASILY have been written to not include her or Leia at all and been much better focused as a result.
3) Nice to see Qui Gonn's Force Ghost.
Ultimately the series as a whole just meandered; nothing of any import actually happened. given when it occurs this was probably inevitable unless they were going to just obliterate canon.

Finally a worthy episode. The duel between Obi-Wan and Vader was great, especially after Obi-Wan regained his strength. Obi-Wan unleashed! Reva is getting redeemed, like I had suspected earlier. She'll probably be looking for a new path to walk, on the good side. Maybe that'll have a part to play in season 2.

Like i said upstream.. a major purpose of these shows that have canon characters, especially ones we know the before AND after stories for, is to develop the characters more
Vader and in a way, Anakin is far more developed than Kenobi by just the Vader comics, which are canon
I do not read them, occasionally i will watch a synopsis video of them
We found a major thing out about Kenobi- he has a younger brother. I dont think they mentioned that for no reason; could be he will show up in a future show, having never met his brother
like SKELETON CREW for example; Jude Law is set to play in it- I could see him playing Kenobi's younger brother
although that would go against my "its a big galaxy" issue and WHY does everyone have to be connected?
and Reva? they could have just killed her-- every other Inquisitor we have seen has died so far
and Purge Troopers- we got to see them in Live Action for the first time-- one more possibility for seeing more of Temuera Morrison as a Clone

I'm sure there will be one. It's Disney. They got to keep that Star Wars engine humming. Gotta produce those shows for the Disney+ service. Besides, these days seasons only consist of six episodes, they're not actually seasons seasons, you know what I mean.
