Obi wan kenobi episode 34/6/2023 ![]() ![]() It feels like many of my qualms from the opening two installments of the series went out the window this week the effects are better, the writing is tighter, and the events hit much harder. Laying low on MapuzoĪll that said, everything that happens with Obi-Wan and Leia (Viven Lyra Blair) is great as well. His presence immediately elevates the tension on this show. We see him hanging out at his fortress on Mustafar, the planet where Obi-Wan defeated him and left him for dead, as he orders Reva (Moses Ingram) to continue the hunt for his former master.
