It’s hard to be overly invested in what’s going on here since we know how it’s going to turn out, generally speaking, that both Obi-Wan and Leia are going to survive without anyone knowing who or where they are, and this episode only heightened that since the stakes were intense but escape was all but guaranteed anyway. What happened with Tala wasn’t as certain, and she managed to use her clearance to gain access so that she could get Obi-Wan in and even improvised to deal with another officer who wanted to see her credentials. It’s funny to think that communicators are just like cell phones and you should really put them on silent when you’re trying to hide from nearby stormtroopers. This episode also reminded me a lot of “The Phantom Menace” in its multiple brushes with water, with Obi-Wan managing to contain the crack in the wall long enough to unleash the water on the Empire forces chasing them. Reva was not having any of Leia’s stonewalling and seemed ready to punish her harshly, and fortunately the reinforcements arrived at exactly the right moment so that she didn’t end up killing everyone. Darth Vader was predictably furious that she came so close to getting them and then let them get away, but she’s one step ahead at all times, putting that tracker on the droid that Leia values so much. It’s hard to know what comes next that tracks with how events are set to play out ahead of the original trilogy, but I guess there will be some more drama to be found in the final two episodes.
