So far the main things I don’t like about it are Reva and the quippy dialogue, mostly around Leia. Generally I don’t like Leia being in it all that much, especially the psychoanalysis “wise beyond her years” stuff.
It’s too on the nose. I hate how (Disney) Star Wars dialogue, and especially on female characters, always try to force personality traits that are not earned through subtle character growth. I think Obi-Wan’s line “How old are you?” is subtle enough to hammer home that Leia is a smart kid. We don’t need three deliveries in the same episode that she is wise.
They should watch all seasons of Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, analyze it and realize how good, female characters are written. Even for short appearances.
Other than that I think it’s pretty good. Reva is definitely going to be one of those kids shown at the beginning and that’s how she knows Vader is Anakin, and she might also have some kind of personal connection to Kenobi in some way. It’s not super unreasonable for Kenobi to not know Vader is alive as it seems like he’s not really the public face of the Empire, and he never was in the OT either. Any Jedi who would have run into him would be dead or at least wouldn’t be able to contact Obi Wan.
Definitely.
