As with the original trilogy? Ep ‘5’ = best yet?
Ok so it is still not great cos:
1: Lots of filler
2: Missed opp for Obi Wan as hero for hire in desert while looking over Luke.
3: Too many side characters!
4: Music tepid: no imperial march?
5: Cramped sets / televisual scale and direction.
But: THIS one did have some great bits. One ep, almost turns around the whole enterprise. Because:
1: Anakin and Obi Wan, together! This one scene is better than their entire prequel tenure together and Anakin especially looks better at that age.
2: VADER! Badass. Scary.
3: They do not, in fact, break canon. It’s just fluid.
4: Obi Wan, the action hero!
5: A solid twist that explains the previous episodes and sets up a finale.
So, yeah. ALMOST redeemed, albeit also, with lessons that ought show Disney/Lucasfilm what needs to be remedied for series 2..
