Beru and Owen have some sand, as they went guns against Reva to protect Luke. It gives you a different perspective on why Owen fought so hard in ANH to keep Luke on the farm. The small reconcilliation at the end between Owen and Obi was nicely done and opens the way up for Obi-Wan to go on further adventures as he left the protection of Luke in his parents hands.
Vader was a ball of fury in this second duel, but Obi-Wan had regained his connection in the force. After Vader beat down and buried Obi in the sand. Obi found his resolve in his memories and came back and beat down Vader pretty hard. The scene with the Rocks was awesome.
We also saw a conversation between Anakin and Obi-Wan, where Anakin realized to himself that Anakin was dead and he was Vader. As he said to Ashoka in Rebels. Anakin was weak and I killed him. He told Kenobi that he didn't kill Anakin, Vader did. But we saw Obi's pure resolve and mastery of the Force. But more on that a bit later.
We got resolution with Reva and I kind of liked it. In her hunt and thirst for justice or revenge, she chased Luke into the dune sea. But just as she was going to kill the boy. She had flashback to Vader storming the Jedi Temple and slaughtering younglings, and realized that she was becoming like him. In the end she laid down her sword and that was it.
We saw one last heart felt conversation between Obi and Leia. I loved Vivian Lyra Blair's portrayal of young Leia, she even had her facial expressions down, and there was a nice easter egg in their farewell, as they repeated the dialogue of young Anakin leaving his mother and asking if he would see her again, and his mother replied with
The brilliance though was in the wrap up. I literally fist pumped at the conversation between the always awesome Ian McDarmid who after hearing Vader talking about the chase for Kenobi mused that his focus and thoughts on Kenobi made him weaker. Vader then dedicated himself to serving his new master. This will lead to the much colder Vader from the OT.
We also had a nice cameo by Liam Neeson who finally appeared to Obi-Wan as Obi-Wan could finally see him.
We also saw where Obi gets his viewpoint on Vader being more machine then man twisted and evil, as he realized in a moment that reminds us of the later similar moment with Ashoka when she breaks his helmet like Obi-Wan did tonight, that his friend was truly gone at this point. The smirk that you see from Hayden was perfect.
Like I said, the epilogue sets things up for more seasons if they want to do it. Obi-Wan at this point is unencumbered from Luke as Beru and Owen are capable guardians. Vader is going to be more focused on serving his master . . . for now. So if they do a future season, if their crosses pass its not because Vader is hunting Obi-Wan, but because Obi-Wan is doing something against the Empire.
I loved this season, its a shame that its over now. But I'm hoping to see more of Vader and more of Ewan as Obi-Wan, he's so brilliant.
Now we have to wait for Andor, the Bad Batch and the next season of the Mandalorian, all later this year.
