I saw it. I'll say that the scenes between Vader/Obi-Wan were great, but it doesn't fix the mess of a story.

They can't seem to figure out whether Leia should be a child wise beyond her years, or just a cute naive kid, which is a problem when you are giving her that much screen time. The Reva character is still giving off "angry black woman" vibes. There is zero depth to her so far and again, she has a lot of screen time.

It feels like a combination of two shows, the dark and serious conflict between Obi-Wan and Vader, and the ridiculous "Adventure time with Leia" or another seethe session with Reva. She should get her own show, but no one would watch it.

By the way, what was the deal with that tunnel scene at the end? So the woman escorting Leia goes back to save Obi-Wan, but somehow doesn't run smack into Reva? Ok, let's accept that the tunnel isn't necessarily linear and there was another path back to the city, that doesn't explain how Reva managed to get in front of Leia and murder the pilot despite Leia being in front of her and having a huge head start. Seems to me it was entirely done for dramatic effect and it looks stupid as hell.

It's the same with the stupid scene in the previous episode, with Reva doing parkour using the force and not really getting anywhere with it. Obi-Wan was only a few rooftops over, so how did he have time to kill a guy, save Leia, get down the building, and then flee before she could make it to him?

Another thing is how Obi-Wan emphasizes to Leia the importance of not discussing him being a Jedi, and then proceeding to discuss himself being a Jedi in the back of an imperial transport. It's no wonder women support this show more than men, as there is hardly any logical consistency to it.
