Episode 101: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Part IV

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Part IV is tense, beautifully shot, and full of Easter eggs. 

In our recap this week, we talk about the MANY different kinds of violence threaded through the episode, from Tala’s martial arts moves to Obi-Wan firing up his lightsaber again to the casual violence of Imperial reign.

We also talk about rooting for Reva (even though we’re not supposed to), job security for the Inquisitors, purge troopers, embalming former Jedi, and why T-47s swooping out of the sky is Sam’s love language.
