Despite how indifferent I felt about Reeva's storyline and the episode where Leia gets captured again, I think this episode nicely adds subtext to A New Hope regarding Leia and Obi-Wan's relationship. This helped me appreciate their dynamic more in the show. Also, the big fight scene we've been waiting for is great and furthet develops Vader's imperfections to make his return in A New Hope more meaningful. I'm no Star Wars super-fan but they managed to set things up nicely.
Although I still think this would have been better as a movie.
