This episode just screamed TV filler episode and a bad one at that. Thankfully, it shouldn’t be too hard to skip it in the movie edits. While Obi-Wan is fighting Vader, Leia actually gets to the transport ship and is not intercepted by Reva. Also fixes the Reva magically appearing at the end of the tunnel.
Utilize the Bacta tank opening scene as a transition to “hopefully” Episode 5. Possibly utilize some of the other inquisitor base scenes to fill out transitions.
You have to. I don’t know if episode 4 can be saved. It’s bad bad. No underwater security? Darth Vader now speed walks? Snow speeders just hover oddly? vader doesn’t kill failures? Obiwan thinks a trench coat for a disguise will work? I literally cannot think of one salvageable moment? What if Obiwan let the water come in and they will escaped through the water?
Well it could be saved by you just watching it better.
There’s limited security because they feel confident nobody would attack a castle full of Sith, they say that at least twice. Vader can always walk quickly and has done before, he just mostly strolls out of choice. The speeders have appeared a single other time in VI where they had no need to hover so that’s not even slightly a valid criticism. Oddly enough Obi-Wan was trying to escape from the castle and didn’t have time to stop off in the TARDIS wardrobe for a better disguise and used the only thing he had at the time. Oh, and only Obi-Wan has a rebreather, how do you think he’s going to get Leia and the spy out underwater?
