{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Another reference, indirect or otherwise, to shootings/child deaths?
Cause reliving Order 66, THE WEEK of Uvalde, was pretty harsh. Yeah. But just how close it is to one specific story coming out of that is really chilling.

What do you mean the little disclaimer at the beginning wasnt enough for you? Sarcasm. There was a disclaimer? When I watched this morning there was a quick disclaimer, no audio, that said certain scenes might be upsetting to some viewers. Almost the least they could do.

{Spoiler}Had one thought after Reva tore into Obi-Wan for Order 66. Why the f*** couldn't there have been an actual plan for the sequel trilogy, and that plan involve the early idea for Rey, and that was her being a Kenobi. Given an actual plan, the payoff to the sequel trilogy being a Kenobi saving Anakin's grandson from the Dark Side would have been perfect.
Has Disney done Vader better than Lucas? Under the Disney umbrella, Vader is a nightmare, the ultimate weapon.

Wow, thought that was a much better episode. Haven't really been feeling this show until now, but Part V was tremendous. Although... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The idea that Vader would just leave Third Sister alive without finishing the job seems... extremely dumb.

{Spoiler}Genuinely surprised they didn't use any digital de-ageing on Ewan and Hayden for the flashback. Given how common it has become it actually took me out of the scene a bit. {Spoiler}Has Disney done Vader better than Lucas? Under the Disney umbrella, Vader is a nightmare, the ultimate weapon. {Spoiler}Disney have taken what really worked in the old EU and comics and dialled in on it. I can buy this Vader wiping out enclaves of Jedi exiles single-handedly in a way I don't think I could with the OT's version.
Of course, they're completely different beasts: Disney Vader is in his prime, focused on his goal of wiping out the Jedi and is utterly ruthless. OT Vader is older, more conflicted, and – having succeeded in wiping almost every Jedi out of existence – somewhat softened by years of having no true challenges.

Banger of an episode. No notes. Just amazing stuff.

He couldn't be the angel of death in star wars because that wasn't what he was at that point. Now though? Now you can lean the f*** into it

OT Vader was also limited by 1970s and 80s costuming and VFX. Now you've got cgi, lighter weight materials, etc to let Vader really be Vader.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I'm very sorry to see Tala die. Mainly because I found the actress playing her to be very very attractive.
Wait, Indira Varma is pushing 50? Really?!

I was actually quite surprised they didn’t do that as Picard had done it. Don’t get me wrong Hayden looks fantastic for his age but it was slightly distracting.

For sure. {Spoiler}Anakin is supposed to be around 18-19 in Attack of the Clones, and Hayden is very obviously around 40 in that scene. It might have worked better if they'd set the scene closer to Revenge of the Sith.

Up to being into episode 4 now. I will say that... {Spoiler} JEJ sounds a LOT better in this series than he did in Rogue One.

I wonder if this was a choice to make it seem it was in Obi-wan’s head and he cannot see Vader as a half-man/half-robot, so it’s just how he still imagines Anakin as a person. So this is how he imagines their current battle of wits to be, but seeing Anakin as he should have aged.

Ok, that episode was awesome and that lightsaber duel was fantastic. Really made Vader seem like an unstoppable force of nature, just with how easy and casually he made. They also made his slow movements look more measured and precise--like he doesn't have to zip around and move fast the way jedi do because he's so in control. Brilliant. Negative {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Reva's plot armor. Get the f*** out of here would Vader leave her to die alone. ESPECIALLY after Obi-Wan made the same mistake with him.
That was bollocks.
