My God, this is the worst episode for me. Worst then episode 4, I don’t know how. Really surprised to see people enjoying parts of it.
In the beginning, I think there’s too much talk. The passengers are about to be killed by the imperial ship, there’s no need to have so much discussion about that. Prolonging ths discussion just gave me a vibe that the peril wasn’t THAT real, and this is not good (after all, it’s a star destroyer they’re running from).
I also agree that the Reva segment of this episode doesn’t make any sense, I even know even now what is her purpose to kill Luke. For me at least, it should be completely cut (she dying in Jabiim is a good ending for her). I think her arc would be much better if she played a role similar to the command officers from ESB, with just a little more deph due to her past showed in the flaskback, but maybe this idea would be more appropriate for another edit.
Well, for me the Vader vs Obi-Wan fight is in desperate need of the Duel of Fates song to land, or Battle of the Heroes. If I could suggest a track, I think this remix is really good:
