There’s about a decade between the start of this season and the beginning of Star Wars: Rogue One, so there’s plenty to explore. The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Friday May 27 with a bang.

The final three episodes will also be released weekly, with a highly waited finale set to air on the platform on June 22, 2022. It also gives a glimpse of several exciting action sequences in the series. Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 will premiere on Disney+ on June 1, 2022, at 3.00 am ET. With the first two episodes meeting fans' expectations, the anticipation for the third episode has increased further. The first two episodes have impressed viewers and critics with their gripping plotlines and intriguing references. A trailer for the show was dropped on May 4, 2022, which increased fans' anticipation. The story is set 10 years after the devastating events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi Order was destroyed, and viewers find Obi Wan-Kenobi hiding in the desert after surviving Order 66, watching over Luke Skywalker.

The latest episode of the Disney+ limited series, 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' is here! Read our review of episode three here.

Are you excited for the rest of the series? Let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the episode though. From the slower paced start to the anxiety filled finale, this episode just simply continues to impress. Watching as Vader held Obi-Wan in the flames, giving him the same experience as he had was truly a specitcal. The cat and mouse chase between the two of them was incredibly anxiety inducing. So, for a sequence between the two of them to make me so anxious should have been borderline impossible. While my critsism of the Third Sister in the first two episodes was valid, the third episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi has seemed to fix this. Much like The Bad Batch and Rebels, one of the main appeals of this limited series is look into what life was like under the Empire. Seeing how civilians interact with the empire is very interesting. Seeing the pair travel across the universe is something I could watch for seasons. This is something that’s always been such a great part of Star Wars. It’s incredibly interesting and something I hope we see more of as the series progresses. The following contains spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3. Both of the previous episodes showed us that Deborah Chow could more than handle the series.

DUEL AT NABOO: Obi-Wan was still technically a Padawan learner when he made. BIO-DROID THREAT: Years before the Clone Wars animated series chronicled Obi-Wan's.

It's a fantastic marriage of familiar, nostalgic Star Wars and something new and exciting, reflecting the show as a whole. The threads of iconic Star Wars themes weaved through the soundtrack by Loki composer Natalie Holt works to stellar effect, and the moment it cuts out to let Vader’s breathing provide the base of the score is wonderful. It's a stark and savage display of power and something we've not really seen since the thrilling climax of Rogue One. The hold the Imperials have during this era is put on full display in both the impressively imposing looking architecture of the Inquisitor base, to more subtle – and arguably chilling – displays of evil infiltrating society like a worn flag on the back of a cart. The return of Vader thrills as he’s reunited with his former master for the first time in 10 years, and displays the brutality that comes with his legend. The opening half is quite low-octane, and while there's no comically slow chase scene this time, the highlight is a couple of underwhelming blaster fights.

It helps, too, that the spectre of Vader looms large throughout the episode – there's one scene on Mustafar, in which Reva dials in an attempt to further her ...

Tala swoops in and saves the Jedi, while Reva meets Leia at the end of the tunnel and scoops up her golden ticket to joining the upper ranks of the Empire. It’s not quite The Empire Strikes Back’s gut-punch of an ending, but it tracks along the same lines. Our only hope is that Obi-Wan finds some guidance – from Qui-Gon Jinn or otherwise – to put him back on the right path. Later, after a Leia/Luma slip of the tongue, Freck sells his hitchhikers out to the Empire, and we get a snatch of action. The episode spends a significant amount of time trying to make Obi-Wan and Leia seem increasingly vulnerable, yet we know the two characters make it out the other side. He even chokes out innocents while on the hunt for Obi-Wan, offering up a threat as fearsome as any seen in Star Wars media. We were promised the “rematch of the century” between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. While the third episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t quite deliver on that front just yet, Darth Vader’s presence elevates what could have otherwise been a slightly weaker follow-up to last week’s strong one-two combo.

Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader face off in an incendiary Star Wars confrontation.

Embracing the natural balance of the Force is like turning on a light. That peace and quiet doesn't last long, however, as the true face of Imperial ruthlessness is revealed when the Inquisitors arrive. Vos turned to the Dark Side for a time, but appears to have survived the Order 66 purge after all and now specializes in rescuing younglings. If you recognize the voice, he's played by Zach Braff (well, Braff is listed in the credits, but at first I have to admit I thought Freck sounded more like Seth Rogen). The lack of trust among the Inquisitors leads to in-fighting that works in the favor of our heroes. And Vader's sadism in roasting Obi-Wan also provides the opportunity for the wounded Jedi to escape. Callously walking through a town snapping necks of bystanders, Vader is the epitome of Imperial terror and violence. Only when Vader aids Luke and is unmasked does he become Anakin again -- and only is the circle truly complete. The last time Obi-Wan saw Anakin Skywalker was the fateful duel in which he chopped his apprentice into bits and left him melting on the side of a volcano. "His compassion has been his undoing". But it also works the other way: the ruthlessness and violence of the Empire works against them. Throughout the series, the Inquisitors and Vader have used the Jedi's values against them. When I left you I was but the learner.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Episode 3 featured not just one but two major cameos: James Earl Jones and Zach Braff. Here's what you need to know.

We assume the Anakin Skywalker actor is physically in the suit in Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 when Vader fights his old master. As the credits make clear, James Earl Jones is officially back as the voice of Darth Vader. Before Obi-Wan Kenobi’s premiere, fans wondered if Jones would return. Lucasfilm’s Disney+ shows are full of unexpected cameos, and Obi-Wan Kenobi is no different.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 finally gave fans a look at who Scrubs' Zach Braff is playing and we introduce you to Freck.

47-year-old actor, producer, and director Zach Braff is the professional behind the alien Freck, much to the surprise of fans. As expected, Freck is an ally of the Empire and makes Obi-Wan and Leia’s journey rather difficult on their way to the Imperial checkpoint. Alien species are no stranger to the Star Wars franchise and Episode 3 has introduced a new character with well-known actor, producer, and director Zach Braff behind the mask.

That Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader fight has everyone talking.

Yet, he didn't. He just turned away." And we all well know how he could have destroyed him in the blink of an eye. Another person notes (opens in new tab) that Vader let Obi-Wan go at the end of their fight: "Very important moment of realization for us all: Darth Vader actually saw the droid taking Obi-Wan away. "This entire sequence had me gasping. "THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND DARTH VADER IS HEREEEE" says another person (opens in new tab). "Vader truly is the greatest villain ever," thinks another tweeter (opens in new tab).

The return of an 'iconic' Star Wars legend has thrilled Obi-Wan Kenobi fans as Darth Vader terrorises the galaxy in episode 3 on Disney Plus.

but the Inquisitors and Darth Vader are hot on their tracks. Darth Vader senses Obi-Wan’s presence and the pair lock horns with their lightsabers, a decade (and 17 years in real life) after their duel in Revenge of the Sith. Having rescued Princess Leia from the bounty hunters in episode two, Obi-Wan travels with her to a mining planet, after a tip off from conman Haja Estree (Kumail Nanjiani). Darth Vader promised Reva that if she was successful in her mission, that she would be made the next Grand Inquisitor. However, fail to do so and she wouldn’t live to tell the tale. The return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker was teased at the end of episode two, and in the following instalment, viewers were finally granted a close look at Darth Vader in all his terrifying glory, complete with his iconic mask and billowing cape. Episode 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi brought the moment fans had all been waiting for – the face off between the Jedi Master ( Ewan McGregor) and his former Padawan Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader ( Hayden Christensen).

Obi-Wan Kenobi searches for allies in Episode 3 as he and Princess Leia go on the run from the Empire, Darth Vader, and the Inquisitors hunting them.

Deborah Chow continues to deliver some of the most visually stunning Star Wars stories to date, intricately building on its script with clever directorial choices and building on this somber chapter in Kenobi’s life. Desperate to keep Leia away from her father and out of harm’s way, Obi-Wan sends her with Tala while he sets off to act as a diversion and face his former friend. But Darth Vader’s plans of maiming Obi-Wan like he was are interrupted by Tala arriving to save the day. How will they get off of the planet now that the Empire’s presence has increased? Like any young traveler, Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) is restless aboard the freighter, and while it’s been a while since Obi-Wan has traveled with a youngling, he knows the quickest way to keep her occupied is to repair her Lola droid. With the Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) disposed of, Reva’s conflict with the Fifth Brother (Sung Kang) only increases as she vies for Vader’s approval and the Inquisitors continue to treat her like an outsider among them.

If you recognize the voice, he's played by Zach Braff (well, Braff is listed in the credits, but at first I have to admit I thought Freck sounded more like Seth Rogen). Obi-Wan bitterly notes that the planet has been ravaged by the rapacious Empire, which perhaps suggests why there are so many desert planets in the galaxy. The lack of trust among the Inquisitors leads to in-fighting that works in the favor of our heroes.

Leia is more hopeful, but knows little about the Force or how evil the Empire can be. On the Imperial side of things, the Third Sister calls Darth Vader himself ...

As for the good guys, the atmosphere on Mapuzo is pure Star Wars. The miner being a literal mole alien is so goofy that it circles around to being great, as is the scene of the stormtroopers buying Obi-Wan’s feeble lies. The cuts between Reva and Vader make it feel like the heroes are truly surrounded. The one glimmer of hope he has is when he describes to Leia what the Force feels like. In particular, I found the beginning of the Vader fight distractingly dark until the lightsabers were lit. This Obi-Wan is also a far cry from the one who called blasters “uncivilized.” His casual willingness to use a gun for dirty tricks also shows how far he’s fallen from Jedi pride. Leia’s presence also helps the show feel like a seamless extension of the Original Trilogy. Vivien Lyra Blair continues to be excellent in this role. She attempts to take Leia to safety, but Obi-Wan stays behind when he sees Vader has arrived on the planet. This turns out to be a trap, and Obi-Wan takes down stormtroopers at a checkpoint in a firefight. However, Tala going to help Obi-Wan means no one is there to stop the Third Sister from capturing Leia. He’s trying to reach Qui-Gon through the Force. Instead, he’s confronted only with memories and visions of Anakin and the other tragedies in his life. The Third Sister and Fifth Brother clash over who gets to bring Obi-Wan’s location to Vader. And in one of the episode’s most gruesome sequence, we watch as Vader’s med droids pack him into his life-sustaining armor on Mustafar. What kind of monster is Darth Vader? This week’s Obi-Wan Kenobi presents Vader as both terrifying and vulnerable.

asked another (opens in new tab), in reference to episode 3’s non-committal answer. Darth Vader snaps back that "The Grand Inquisitor means nothing." The implication, again, is that The Grand Inquisitor is truly gone. “That seat is mine,” The Fifth Brother hisses. Amid all the hype and hollering for Obi-Wan Kenobi during its premiere week, one question lingered: is the Grand Inquisitor dead? Exhibit A: During the episode’s brief Mustafar interlude, Reva heavily implies that the Grand Inquisitor is dead.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi's third episode featured a long-waited reunion between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan — read our full recap.

In a move that confirms Vader is still upset about Mustafar, he lights the ground on fire with his lightsaber and drags Obi-Wan through the flames. Obi-Wan is thankfully rescued by NED-B, the nonverbal droid he met at the safe house, and Vader can only watch as they escape. Reva found the safe house — and the secret smuggling pathway — and makes her move. When they reach the designated checkpoint provided by Haja, Obi-Wan immediately thinks he’s been lied to and now they’re stranded. Later on Mapuzo, Obi-Wan senses Vader nearby and sends Leia and Tala away. Stowing away with Leia aboard the cargo ship, Obi-Wan again attempts to commune with Qui-Gon, but can’t stop replaying Anakin’s descent to the dark side in his head.

It helps, too, that the spectre of Vader looms large throughout the episode – there's one scene on Mustafar, in which Reva dials in an attempt to further her ...
