Sometimes an acting performance and/or the lines that are given to them generate an overall “feeling” to the viewer. I understand that she should be brash, forceful, lackey of Vader, menacing, fearsome, etc…
But the performance and/or lines don’t convey that image to me; except superficially. It’s as if they’re telling me I better feel it, so therefore I will feel it. But I don’t feel it… lol
Again - don’t know if it’s the acting; don’t know if its the dialogue given to her; don’t know if it’s both.
But the performance in total feels contrived and unrealistic as a delivered end product to me, the viewer.

I enjoyed the third episode more. I don’t think it’s the performer’s fault - I think it’s bad direction. The actress seems quite capable, I think she’s not getting the direction she needs - but that goes for most of the performances, to be honest.

Loved the scene, especially when the storm trooper landed on the laser fence and was bisected.

@drunkwooky - you are a master in all things SW and I would never question you…but I kind of am now. Is it possible the 3rd Sister knows of Obi Wan’s relationship to Leia’s father (Organa) as opposed to knowing Vader/Anakin’s relationship to her? She knew that Obi Wan and Organa were tight during the old days and knew kidnapping Organa’s daughter would bring Obi out into the open?

I think that’s what it is. She never said Leia is Vader’s daughter, just that she read about Obi-Wan and Bail fighting together…unless I missed something.
Unless Vader knows of her existence and told her in hopes to lure out Obi-Wan, or Palps told her knowing that Yoda and Obi-Wan are the only hopes of the Jedi making any type of comeback.
Regardless, she’s likely just a tool to either one of those two and would be disposed of as soon as she accomplishes their goal. Can’t have that info getting around outside of your own terms.
True. She may know of Leia and know of Bail and Obi-Wan’s relationship, but not Anakin and Leia’s relationship:
Reva: He fought beside her father during the war. He’ll come. He won’t be able to help it. The Jedi will hunt himself. ( Indistinct chatter in other language on PA )

Good catch!
Maybe the magic is just fading in me and it sort of makes me bummed out.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy this (or the Book of Boba Fett) and I really am grateful for all the new stuff. I’m glad the new generations of fans are loving it.
Maybe it is just that my imagination and the books/comics have done a far better job at filling in the blanks (for me).
I find it all just too hokey. I enjoy it in the same manner I enjoyed watching Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.
The end scene of this week was really silly… didn’t work. Vader would have owned that situation. It was akin to the old radio dramas where there was no way the hero gets out of a situation but some silly coincidence changes it .
Things happen in these shows that then result in me questioning areas that 10 year old me never gave a hoot about.
So Obi-wan apparently has a life long battery emergency beeper/communicator he can be contacted with…but Yoda didn’t get one? Yoda doing just fine eating bugs on Dagobah, and gets left alone? Maybe he just didn’t answer the phone whilst taking his afternoon nap?
This is the stuff I expect and want…

As if he couldn’t of separated the flames or completely blown them out with the force!? Obi Wan running away and his lack of fighting skills really sucks.

@ToddW Apparently Obi-Wan’s robes raggedy ass robes are coated in flame inhibitant (site won’t let my type out the actual word for something that resists flames as it thinks I’m using a different derogatory word), but the armor the Stormtroopers wear can’t handle running through some flames. Flames must also inhibit the ability to laser bolts to pass through them.
Empire needs to recruit some Marines…shot of whiskey and we’d run naked through those flames to impress our 1st Sgt and get the kill.

Vader not running through the flames was intentional. Just before that he extinguished the flames, pushed obi-wan out of the coals, and told the storm troopers to grab him and “Bring him to me”. Tala then shoots and lights it back up.
I don’t think its written as an obstacle that Vader cannot get through since seconds before that they show him putting the fire out with no problem. To me there will be some rationale for why Vader did not pursue him further. I think the most likely is that he wants to track him to find out whoever’s helping him. I just hope its not an “implied” motive and is instead directly mentioned.
I totally get not liking that part. It’s the only part of the episode that I had an issue with myself. I personally think the rescue at the end should have included a speeder (or something fast) scooping up Kenobi and more help than just Tala firing 2 shots to distract vader. But I don t think they are going with “Vader was stumped by a wall of fire”
Big picture though I’ve enjoyed the episodes a ton.

Hahahahaha yes! Awesome!
Vader would use the force to stop it…
This was my gripe. Vader just extinguished a fire with the force a moment before. Now that fire restarts, and he just stands there like he’s helpless. At the very least, instead of allowing that droid to remove Obi-Wan, couldn’t Vader have used the force to keep the droid away? Or used the force to pull Obi-Wan over to himself so he couldn’t escape?
It honestly made no sense. I’m hoping Vader allowed Kenobi to escape because the way it happened, was kinda lame for me.
