I liked the last episode a lot, it’s finally what everyone actually wanted: Obi Wan interacting with Anakin, Owen and Beru, Luke, and Qui Gon in ways that make sense. I liked that his interactions with Leia were more centered on Anakin and Padme now instead of just telling her how wonderful she is for being a girl.

Of course there’s still the canon breaking stuff all over like Obi Wan being such good friends with Leia in the first place, and the most egregious thing of all, Reva chasing Luke with a lightsaber and the Force and Luke never bringing it up again. “Oh, the Force? Sounds like the thing that one lady used to telekinetically slam my head against a rock when I was 10.” I guess the excuse is that he did hit his head so that means he won’t remember it. When they told him to stay inside because of tusken raiders I thought that made sense but then they undercut it with yet another of the series’s ridiculous chase sequences.
Then there’s the other things with Reva, how she teleported to Tatooine in 2 seconds (while severely wounded) while Obi Wan and Vader are still in the middle of a space chase and trying to get to hyperspace, her surviving getting stabbed with a lightsaber, and her clumsy and contrived motivations for trying to kill Luke. “I’m going to kill Vader’s son that he doesn’t know about, which won’t affect him in any way.”

I kept saying this every episode, but it just sucks that there’s so much good stuff surrounded by so much awful stuff.
