![]() Reva tries a handful of tactics on the child, from intimidating her to attempting to sympathize with her and her droid Lola, but nothing works, prompting her to take things to the next level. Reva questions Leia about the operation, assuming that a child would have been made privy to the intimate details of an underground network of Jedi sympathizers and, as expected, she doesn’t have any information to provide her with. During her hunt for the duo, she located the hideaway on Mapuzo that bore the markings of the Jedi, indicating that there was some secret network operating to whisk them out of the clutches of the Inquisitors. With Kenobi seemingly incapacitated, Reva has set her sights on a new means of earning favor with Darth Vader. It’s no wonder that in a few years she’s entirely unfazed by being held in Imperial custody or undeterred by Darth Vader’s intimidating presence-she’s been holding her own ground against them since she was knee-high. Reva attempts to convince Leia that Ben Kenobi is dead and that no one is coming to rescue her, Leia’s precocious attitude carries her through the unnerving situation. ![]() While Reva seemed to flinch last week when Darth Vader mercilessly slaughtered townspeople on Mapuzo, this week she seems to have no qualms about interrogating a ten-year-old so long as it gets her that promotion she’s angling for. Undeterred by his pain, Obi-Wan is insistent that they must rescue Leia at any cost. The flashes force Obi-Wan to retreat from the tank before he is fully healed, much to the chagrin of Tala ( Indira Varma) who tries to convince him to stay in the bacta tank longer to properly heal. As Obi-Wan is immersed in the rejuvenating liquid, his healing process is intercut with jarring sequences of Anakin Skywalker soaking in his own bacta tank, heavily scarred, limbless, and tormented. While fans (myself included) may have been hoping for Obi-Wan to relive his greatest hits from the Clone Wars era while he was submerged in the bacta tank, Obi-Wan Kenobi opted to make it hurt in a different way. The fourth episode is no different, as last week, Reva ( Moses Ingram) had absconded with the child while Ben was being dragged through the flames by his former friend Darth Vader ( Hayden Christensen), whisking her away to the heavily armored Fortress Inquisitorius. As they escape, they meet one Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd)-a child prodigy who happens to be unusually replete with the Force.Since the premiere, Obi-Wan Kenobihas been largely focused around rescuing young Princess Leia ( Vivien Lyra Blair) from the clutches of the Empire that wants to use her as a pawn to root Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor) out of hiding. ![]() In Episode I, we follow along as Jedi knights Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) rescue Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), ruler of a peaceful planet invaded by some very dark forces. It’s the film that introduced McGregor as a younger Obi-Wan-a character fans had originally met in 1977’s A New Hope (Episode IV) in the form of iconic actor Alec Guinness. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (Episode I) (1999) Why not add some McGregor Madness to your “Obi-Wan Wednesdays” by taking in one of these works before the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi episode drops on Disney+ each week, now through June 22? Now that Ewan McGregor’s beloved Jedi is back in the new Disney+ limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi, we thought it only fitting to take a spin through some of McGregor’s other works from around the worlds of Disney and 20th Century Fox. This is the streaming guide you’re looking for. ![]()
