![]() If there's no de-aging, these guys won the genetic lottery, and I am a bit jealous. Their onscreen dynamic is pretty electric, though it seems like the actors loved having the chance to revisit an earlier point in their careers with two decades' more experience. There might be some subtle digital de-aging or clever application of makeup going on here, but the visual effects team didn't overdo it - Christensen in particular looks older in these scenes than he did in 2002's Attack of the Clones (maybe because he doesn't have a beard to hide behind). Obi-Wan proves that his strategic thinking beats Anakin's brute force. "Until you overcome it, a Padawan you will still be." "You are a great warrior, Anakin, but your need to prove yourself is your undoing," Obi-Wan says. City planet Coruscant also makes a spectacular backdrop for their duel. It highlights their slightly tense relationship, Anakin's impatience and Obi-Wan's ability to outthink him - all of which play into the show's present-day story. There's that Anakin Skywalker smile we all remember. ![]() We get some delightful flashbacks to a sparring session they had in the era before Attack of the Clones, as evidenced by their outfits, hairstyles and Anakin still having his right hand (Count Dooku slices off a chunk of his arm in their duel on Geonosis). Master and apprenticeĪs his Star Destroyer travels to the Path base on Jabiim, Vader reflects on his time as Obi-Wan's Padawan. He might be a bit delayed, since their hyperdrive is broken and Imperial forces are right on their tail. So I guess he'll be headed back to Tatooine in a hurry in next week's finale. On board the escape transport with Leia and a bunch of refugees, Obi-Wan senses the danger to Luke. The 10-year-old Luke Skywalker is unaware of the danger he's in. I reckon he'll be alright, though, since he's living a normal life and blissfully unaware of the Force by the time we meet him in A New Hope. A Skywalker in dangerĪfter a failed attempt on Vader's life, a badly wounded Reva spots Obi-Wan's dropped commlink and sees a garbled message from Leia's foster father, Bail Organa ( Jimmy Smits), that mentions "learned of the children," "Tatooine," "Owen" and "the boy."Ĭonveniently that's just enough information for her to figure out that Luke Skywalker is Vader's son - probably should have changed his name - and find the 10-year-old on the desert world. This series takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and nine years before A New Hope. Obi-Wan is one of the few people who knows Leia is Vader's lost daughter. Our hero managed to escape with the help of turncoat Imperial officer Tala Durith ( Indira Varma) and anti-Imperial network leader Roken ( O'Shea Jackson Jr.), who are secretly helping Jedi and Force sensitives escape the Empire via an underground railroad known as the Path. Reva's resourcefulness helps her avoid the wrath of Darth Vader (formerly Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen and voiced by James Earl Jones).
