Histoire

- AnecdotesAt the beginning of the episode, Vader's Star Destroyer is chasing the ship where Obi-Wan and the refugees escape Jabiim, just like the beginning of Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977) where it is chasing the Tantive IV where Leia and the Rebels are carrying the stolen blueprints of the Death Star. Also the music that plays during the scene is very similar to the John Williams track Hyperspace, which played in L'Empire contre-attaque (1980) during the Millennium Falcon's escape from pursuing Imperial ships after departing Cloud City.
- GaffesVader orders the Star Destroyer to change course to pursue Obi-Wan in the drop ship, then says he will take his personal ship down to the planet and face Kenobi himself. If he had a personal ship, he could have deployed that earlier and kept the Star Destroyer pursuing the escaping Rebels. There would have been no need to abandon the pursuit of the Rebels.

Darth Vader: The same way I will destroy you!

This is at times a nerdgasm finish to the series with some excellent character moments and fan service.
When the main events are shown they are as good as they can possibly be when you consider the constraints placed on the writers by continuity and the fact that we already know the outcome for most of the characters.
The major points for me are the great emotional connections made to all the movies and characters by the scenes involving Obi-Wan. This episode feels part of the Star Wars universe and further bridges the gap between the original and prequel trilogies. Ewan McGregor is excellent, particularly with his physical performance and facial expressions. Vivien Lyra Blair is also very good as she has been throughout the show.
What I like most is that it fixes a 17 year psychological issue I had with the prequel trilogy. I never accepted Hayden Christiansen as Darth Vader. He was fine as young Anakin, but I could never truly suspend the disbelief that it was him inside that suit, even after what Lucas showed us in 'Revenge of the Sith'. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part VI has finally got me to accept it and appreciate Christiansen as the character. So for that I say well done to him for a strong performance and the filmmakers for how they presented him.
I appreciate the outcome for the character Reva, as the series needed an arc for someone not known from the movies. For me it generates some intrigue based on the unknown factors associated with the character. Although it feels somewhat unnecessary. Moses Ingram gives a strong performance in my opinion.
The visuals are as great as you would expect from a Star Wars production, but what particularly enhances they key moments in this episode is the music.
