In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Part V, Reva is revealed to be a former Jedi youngling who survived Anakin Skywalker's attack in 'Revenge of the Sith,' and she's been seeking retribution all along. While this ultimately goes as well as you'd expect, the battle is thrilling, and both Owen and Beru survive the encounter. Say what you want about Luke's real father, but at least the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' finale confirms that his uncle and aunt are on top of things. Luckily for Luke, Owen has zero chill toward any lightsaber-wielding authority figure, and neither he or Beru hesitate to face Reva without backup. This is particularly impressive, because the person who comes in Part VI is Reva, a highly dangerous former Inquisitor. Oh, and if someone does come calling, they have contingency plans to keep young Luke (Grant Feely) safe from people who might come for him. They're also cool with keeping Obi-Wan Kenobi's identity secret from the Imperial forces, dangerous as it may be. For him, Anakin Skywalker truly doesn't exist anymore.īeru and Owen are indeed fairly ordinary characters, especially compared to the Skywalker side of the family. Nevertheless, the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' finale shows that they're hardy and fearless people who aren't afraid to raise the son of a notorious Force user as their own. After all, it explains why 'A New Hope'-era Obi-Wan keeps Vader's identity secret from Luke, and insists on calling his former apprentice by his Sith name even when they're alone. Lore-wise, the exchange is also pretty important. It finally shows the audience a bit of Christensen's Vader face and, thanks to the broken mask, mixes Anakin's normal voice and Jones' booming Darth Vader voice into a chilling mish-mash. Hey, not everyone can have a happy ending.Īs a viewing experience, the entire meeting is thrilling.

Vader is left in the desert, screaming his opponent's name in vain.

'Goodbye, Darth,' Obi-Wan utters with sadness, making clear that he now feels that his former apprentice no longer exists. This may just be the most damaging part of the duel for both parties, as Obi-Wan tearfully apologizes for Mustafar, while Vader denounces his former identity. When Obi-Wan finally manages to incapacitate Vader and slice his helmet open, the physical battle turns into a war of words.
