Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 5

OBI-WAN KENOBI'S penultimate episode has dropped on Disney+ but has The Third Sister been killed off?

However, according to The Direct, a second series is in development but fans are just going to have to wait and see if this is the case. The way the episode was left on a cliffhanger does also indicate that her fate is not sealed just yet. So how will she survive that attack and is she going to continue fighting to get her revenge? However, all hope is not lost as the original Grand Inquisitor survived a similar attack which means it is possible for her to recover. He states: "Revenge does wonders for the will to live," leaving fans wondering how he survived and if he was now on the Dark Side. She was actually a Jedi in training at the time of meeting Darth Vader and swore her revenge and so joined the Dark Side to try and take him down from the inside.

But other than that, I find myself mourning what could have been, and remembering hopes dashed when, as a teenager, I showed up to the movie theaters to watch The Phantom Menace and could barely contain my excitement, only to discover, well, Jar Jar Binks. Obi-Wan had gotten a message earlier from a concerned Bail Organa who mentions that he’s worried about “the children” in case “he finds out” and will go to Tatooine if he doesn’t hear back to check on the boy. Well, at the end of The Last Jedi we have Rey and Finn and Leia and the rest of the heroes trapped on a planet in a similar bunker with the forces of the First Order arrayed outside trying to get in. The de-aging powers that Disney has showed off in Star Wars and the MCU are absent here. She tossed a plan a decade in the making away. He tears the sides of the ship off to find that it’s empty. The actual Grand Inquisitor shows up and mocks her, sneering that her thirst for revenge was useful before it became tiresome. Inside, in order to fix the hangar controls Leia has to climb up into the vent to save the day. Then, Obi-Wan gets away before Vader arrives and races back to the rebel transport. I guess the tracker is more than just a tracker. Obi-Wan, Leia and Tala and the rest of the rebels show up at the base and Leia’s droid immediately goes and sabotages the hangar opening, trapping everyone inside. And on and on like that.

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 5 is full of easter eggs and references that call back to other corners of the Star Wars universe. Spoilers ahead...

In the early 2000s, StarWars.com supported The Clone Wars with a variety of webcomics posted on Hyperspace, the official Star Wars fan club online portal. The planet Garel gets a shoutout this week, adding to its lengthy list of mentions, if not outright appearances. This location is also one of the few Expanded Universe concepts to be brought whole cloth into the movies for a major appearance. The duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan in the flashback seems to take place some time around Attack of the Clones, based on their appearances. But he found a new calling, joining the Rebel Alliance, where he worked alongside popular Expanded Universe characters like Kyle Katarn. After the fall of the Empire, Shelvay became part of Luke Skywalker’s New Jedi Order. Brought together by Qui-Gon and growing up as brothers-in-arms, their connection informs everything Darth Vader has become since his fall to the dark side.

Episode 5, titled 'Part V' of 'Obi-Wan Kenobi,' reveals the truth about Reva, the inquisitor played by Moses Ingram.

In fact, part of her doesn't really believe that she and Obi-Wan want the same sort of revenge on him at all. We touched on it above a bit, but Part V brings the opening scene of the very first Obi-Wan Kenobi episode all the way back to relevance. Obi-Wan and the viewers both come to the realization at the same time that the hero and the villain share a common foe: Vader. But that villain also isn't losing any love for the Jedis. It's truly a set-up where she's playing the system from the inside, but doesn't care about who she's hurting on the other side either. He talked Reva into attacking Vader, and clearly it was the wrong time; she was defeated. We've seen enough redemption stories; turning Kylo Ren was one of the many mistakes made in Rise of Skywalker. It's time for more villains being villains, even if the only side they're really on is their own. Episode 5 of Obi-Wan Kenobi—appropriately titled "Part V"—was easily the show's best since its two-episode premiere.

Obi-Wan Kenobi adds to Star Wars movies both new and old in the character-driven, tragic episode 5 of the sci-fi series on Disney Plus.

That it takes so long is the cross laid upon Obi-Wan Kenobi’s shoulder and something he must carry alone. Both reference the Battle of Hoth, and keep consistent the motif of our heroes escaping by the skin of their teeth. Vader is reminded time and time again of Obi-Wan’s lesson of being too driven by negative feelings to see what’s in front of him. The friendship, the absence of judgement or fear. Flashbacks of Anakin and Obi-Wan running through a sparring duel frame the episode. Not everything, not enough to feel guilt or remorse, but certain things, like the look in Obi-Wan’s eyes.

Obi-Wan is always careful with his lightsaber, but in Episode 5 he decides to go into one fight unarmed. Why?

This isn’t to say that lightsaber fights will no longer be a main attraction of Star Wars. It’s basically a given that we’ll have an epic Vader versus Obi-Wan showdown in this show’s finale. These fights mirror each other in that they show how Obi-Wan and Anakin have gone to two different extremes. Obi-Wan realizes Leia wasn’t the bait for him, but rather he was the bait for Vader, a way for her to get face-to-helmet with the Sith Lord and slaughter him the way he slaughtered her classmates.

Away from newcomers like Kumail Nanjiani, Moses Ingram and Indira Varma, there are the much-hyped returns of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to flesh out ...

It's a clever nod to their upcoming Revenge of the Sith battle where Obi-Wan utters the now-iconic, "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground." 1977's A New Hope alluded to history between Anakin and Obi-Wan, but we didn't get to explore it much before the former cut down Alec Guinness' sage Jedi. Even the prequels largely focused on Anakin's relationship with Padmé instead of Obi-Wan's tutelage. Ironically, Obi-Wan Kenobi's flashback mirrors an almost identical scene in Revenge of the Sith when a much darker Anakin looks across to Padmé's apartment. Either way, Obi-Wan Kenobi just gave 'a new hope" to the prequels. Given the fan response to the Coruscant scene, it's clear flashbacks are popular. Away from newcomers like Kumail Nanjiani, Moses Ingram and Indira Varma, there are the much-hyped returns of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to flesh out Anakin Skywalker's beef with the titular Jedi.

As the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is now well underway, the show's main cast has been established but who joins as guest stars in episode 5?

Jimmy Smits is another actor returning to the Star Wars franchise after appearing in the prequels. Since the Obi-Wan Kenobi series began, Hayden Christensen’s performance has been masked by a literal mask as he has donned Darth Vader’s fearsome armour. - Jonathan Ho as Jedi Youngling

Easter eggs in the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi episode have brought some Legends characters back into the Star Wars universe.

Plus, DrunkWooky.com (opens in new tab) noticed the name Ekria, who was Aayla Secura's Padawan – Aayla herself was taught by Quinlan Vos, and he was name-dropped in Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3. She has a lengthy (and disturbing) history with the Empire. In the episode, Obi-Wan comes across a wall on Jabiim covered in writing.

Episode 5 of Obi-Wan Kenobi was filled with plenty of easter eggs and callbacks to earlier moments in the franchise. Did you spot them all?

The last thing they expected was for the heroic Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker to ignite his lightsaber and strike them down. Tala uses a thermal detonator, notable by its sphere shape, and glowing red light, to explore the hallway she is in, killing herself and many of the Empire’s forces. The Grand Inquisitor is a Pau’an male, and they are known for having two stomachs. The camera lingers on a young boy, sleeping, blissfully unaware of the events that will transpire in the final episode. When Princess Leia disguised herself as a bounty hunter in Return of the Jedi, she threatened Jabba the Hutt and his many guards with a thermal detonator. These Imperial soldiers are commanded by Vader and the Inquisitors, and the first iteration of Purge Troopers were remaining clones after Order 66 but were soon phased out as the years went on. “Part 5” of Obi-Wan Kenobi is no exception and has many great details for Star Wars fans to enjoy. Wearing his apparel from Attack of the Clones, complete with his short hair and Padawan braid. In Legends, staring into hyperspace could cause Hyper-rapture, which is a form of madness acquired from staring into hyperspace for too long a time. Anakin Skywalker, a role reprised by Hayden Christensen, stares at this building before turning to face his Jedi Master. Obi-Wan Kenobi “Part 5” opens up with a surprise. Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of Star Wars’ most iconic characters.
