Well, they could have just walked around. The mess of space coal didn't get larger after Vader spilled it. The camera just zoomed in so close that the Stormtroopers couldn't see that they could just walk past it five meters to their right.

Or Vader could have snuffed it out via the Force like he did only a minute earlier.

Or he could have lifted Obi Wan up with the Force and brought him across, possibly even at a safe height.

Best to assume he's bored sitting around Mustafar all day. He can finally play with his best buddy again and he's not in a hurry to end it. Come on, let the guy have some fun.

Inquisition Lady wants Obi-Wan so she can get to Vader so she can try to kill Vader.

My idea;
-She's one of the younglings from the opening and blames Anakin for the Jedi Purge.
-She blames Obi-wan for training Anakin when Jedi tradition said he shouldn't have been trained at all (the opening scrawl draws an odd amount of attention to this)
-She wants to kill Anakin and get back at Obi-Wan so she's hunting Obi-Wan so she can use him to get to Anakin.

Now to see if I'm right.

I think you might be heavily unto something.

I wonder if we'll get Liam Neeson in the show.

Well it's going to be very hard to have her turn to the good side by the final episode if she doesn't spend time with an adorable child.

How the feth did Reva get to the end of the tunnel?

I’m glad they went down the series route for Kenobi. So far nothing feels wasted to me, but if it was squelched down to a cinema friendly time I don’t think we’d get the same outcome.

And someone please explain the odd focus on

Spoiler:

He shows up in Clone Wars for a bit, and in the wrap up novel where Asajj Ventress, one of the most interesting and compelling characters from Clone Wars, is killed off to provide him with mangst. But, I don’t recall him really doing much, beyond being a “oh hey isn’t he in the wider canon?”

**Gert**

Easter Egg. People always wondered if he survived Order 66 or not.

**Momotaro**

I enjoyed ep 3, and liked how it built on episodes 1 and 2. They feel better now in the context of an older, slower Ben creaking out of his exile and trauma.

My one complaint about all the detail being filled in between films is the same for all media franchises - it makes a Republic of a million worlds feel small and samey. No bigger than the county I live in.

For the Brits: although the thought of Ben hiding out in space-Skegness for 20 years does tickle me.

**LunarSol**

Can't say I like any of the prequel films, but the Clone Wars era certainly has its charms now. I always thought the films had a lot of good ideas, they're just executed terribly.

I assume Force Intuition/brief off-screen interrogation, then a speeder to the other end?

Yep. I think it's already established that

Episode 3 down, felt a bit filler and the whole Voss thing reminded me how much better a baddie Asajj could have been than 3rd sister who's managing to plank it up to a level our Diaz would be proud of

I'm guessing there'll be another confrontation between those two, once Ben has done whatever character building and soul-searching happens next and has re-opened himself to the Force.

Kenobi is getting a 2nd season and they’ve reworked the ending to make it happen

Sorry to be TFG, but do we have a sauce for that?

**DaveC**

Making Star Wars reporting it the article has spoilers for the rest of season 1. Their rumours and reports for Kenobi have been spot on as they have an inside source. Viewing figures have been so good Disney want more.

**Geifer**

Maybe we could spend season 2 watching Obi Wan get the impression that Stormtroopers are good shots. That's got to be an interesting story.

**Bobthehero**

Everyone seem to forget the first scene of ANH as far as Stormtrooper aim is concerned.

And then put them up against constantly plot armored heroes (with the exception of Rogue One and one scene in Mando S2), without mooks around to get shot. It's stupid, and makes the Empire look completely non-threatening, and now they pass it off as a joke, to be referenced and reinforced.

The worst bit was in Mando S1, where they supposedly killed off all those Mandalorians offscreen. I absolutely don't believe they were able to do that, considering all we've been shown in the show.

It could be just he assumes the Clones got drafted into the Stormtroopers, and it was a stupid line 40ish years ago and its stupid now, yes well done you hit a castle sized crawler, or at least some of them did, wild uncontrolled bursts (with a cheap and crap blaster rifle) seems to be their usual fire pattern

**Geifer**

I could go with the clone explanation if he didn't go on adventures while he's waiting for Luke to grow up, but it does expose him to non-clone troopers. And if they make more than this one off adventure, it's just going to be less plausible with every season.

.

Of course in anh point wasn't to kill the heroes. It was to find rebels.

**Bobthehero**

I meant the door breaching in ANH, the fight in the Tantive 4

**Stevefamine**

I liked each episode better and better, 1 being mando tier, 2 being alright, and 3 being fantastic

I'm glad it's going up from here

Were they killed, or did they finish the battle and take their hats off and walk into exile before their sewer hidey-hole was gassed/bombed?

Though on the other hand, Mando the Mando had the 'best' set of armor by the end of season 1, and he couldn't effectively tank a rabble of dog gangsters in Book of Boba Fett. So the Mandolorian defensive attributes seem to vary by plot armor as well.

**Bobthehero**

Pretty sure Book of Boba confirms they were all killed. We're also talking about the sect that takes wearing their helmets to unreasonable levels, so I feel like they would just up and leave those behind.

**warboss**

I'm not sure why they cast such a young girl to play Leia at supposedly 10 years old. She looks and acts much younger appropriate to her actual age when filming (8? She's turning 10 tomorrow according to IMDB). It's only exacerbated by the choice to make her extra obnoxiously precocious. They should have just set the series eight years post Ep.3 instead and dialed it down a bit.

**Captain Joystick**

I don't think she seems too precocious for ten year old, but I agree something seemed off about her, and that's probably what it is. She did seem really young.

We're three episodes in and I've heard it elsewhere that they seem to be having a lot more trouble with the Volume - perspective shots look a little off and the wide open vistas don't really disguise too well that they're on a set.

Spoiler:

Back to Bad Batch Season 2 for a moment:

https://thedirect.com/article/star-wars-bad-batch-season-2-release-date-official

a promotional header on the Disney+ home page confirmed Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 will premiere on Wednesday, September 28.

Also, Andor (from Rogue One) starts on August 31st, and the two shows will overlap a bit, as Andor is 12 episodes, unlike Kenobi's 6.

[MCU: She-Hulk will also overlap with Andor and Bad Batch. Ms Marvel will run between Kenobi and Andor]

The run of new SW/MCU content is pretty solid until the end of the year.

**Toofast**

Show is boring, some of the scenes are so ridiculous that it totally breaks immersion (Leia running away from grown men as they obviously shuffle and waddle behind her, intentionally moving as slow as possible), a little bit of fire totally stopping vader and a bunch of stormtroopers in their tracks, I can't even name all the eye-rolling moments and we're 3 episodes in. I just know they vastly outnumber the moments where I think "that scene was cool, I'm really enjoying this show".

While she does look young, adult Leia is small, so casting a small girl to play child Leia works. She looks like a young Leia, and the precociousness level is perfect... This is absolutely the child who grows up to be an 18 year old standing handcuffed in front of a regional governer and telling him he smells.
