Just thinking, this is the fourth Star Wars prequel and the first that doesn’t manage to totally fuck up any aspect of the continuity.

I didn’t like the speed they gave to Darth Vader in this movie either; I’d rather not have him show such acrobatics with the lightsaber. That being said, what I did like of it are the implications that speed has, which is that on the Imperial side of things, only Vader and Tarkin fully understand how fucked the Empire is if they loose those plans.

What I mean is that we didn’t see a raging Darth Vader, but a desperate, rushed Vader. And that I did like because it implies that he’s not only the most dangerous, but the most lucid within the Empire as well.

Obi Wan in ANH, instead, is something far more personal and has, not until he finds out about Luke, no implications in the grand scheme of politics of the galaxy. That, on one hand. And on the other, I like the explanations that go around the web, that in the end Vader fears Obi Wan for what he’s done to him and so approaches him in a rather conservative way.
