84. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E5 Part V Recap and Discussion

How about that? A new writer comes in and the story gets better. That’s not magic. That’s just someone with better storytelling skills helping turn out the best episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi yet.



"Best" is certainly a relative term, but when you have Vader being awesome, Obi-Wan and Anakin dueling once again and revenge on Reva instead of the other way around, it’s bound to be better than at least the last two segments of stories in this limited series.

There’s echoes and tone poems and rhyming of story beats galore. I wonder if George Lucas likes everything he sees or if bathing in billions isn’t the panacea for caring about his creation I believe it to be.

The appropriate way to express the mood of This is the Way Podcast after Part Five is to say it was enjoyable. What isn’t different this week compared to last week is that there is still the possibility that Disney could ruin things. I mean, it doesn’t REALLY matter too much because I’m still going to watch. I’ll always be a Star Wars fan. Heck, I even saw Episode VIII in the theaters…twice.

Never again, but that’s beside the point…
