Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6: “Rematch of the century” headlines ... (Dexerto)

The finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi finally brings the "rematch of the century" to our screens, not to mention a long-awaited cameo.

The question is: will we see a Season 2? take good care of him,” he says, before Owen offers to let him meet Luke. Which paves the way for Obi-Wan to say the line: “Hello there.” Surely, all around the world, Star Wars fans were cheering this moment. By the time Obi-Wan arrives, they fear it’s too late – but Reva then arrives with Luke in her arms, having failed to carry out her revenge. The Emperor accuses Vader of allowing his fixation on Kenobi to make him weak, to which he says: “Kenobi means nothing. Especially after it was used in the first trailer, the absence of John Williams’ Duel of the Fates feels like a major missed opportunity. Then we get to the rocks. Paired with the dour environment around them, it veers dangerously close to feeling a bit empty, though it’s saved by its ferocity and Vader’s growing aggression with every swoosh. Where do you draw the line between their understated duel in A New Hope and Vader’s super-powered ruthlessness in Rogue One? How do you make Obi-Wan a convincing opponent after his butt was handed to him in Episode 3? “I will do what I must,” Obi-Wan says. As predicted, Vader commands the Destroyer to follow Kenobi and leaves to fight him alone. It’s not the legendary Star Wars event it was made out to be, hampered by uninspired direction – however, for the most part, it’s a richly envisioned ode to the tragedy and power of Darth Vader. “Whether he dies or I die, it ends tonight,” Obi-Wan says.

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 features a huge Darth Vader moment ... (GamesRadar)

The internet can't get over that huge Darth Vader scene in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale.

That wasn't the only callback, either, with Obi-Wan also using the same pose seen in the prequels before fighting Vader again. Hayden Christensen brought everything to play Anakin/Vader again and it's just fantastic," says one impressed fan (opens in new tab). I will do what I must" "Then you will die""I won't leave you. Vader's helmet getting sliced off and getting a glimpse of Anakin (in live action) is definitely a highlight for me," is this person's opinion (opens in new tab). "That whole Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan Kenobi duel literally brought a tear to my eye. The finale sees the titular Jedi Master leave the transport of survivors from Jabiim and head to a nearby planet in the hopes of luring Darth Vader away.

Leia refuses to accept the plan, but Obi-Wan is adamant and asks Haja to take Leia back to safety. Obi-Wan is prepared to face Darth Vader and settle their past once and for all. A recovered Darth Vader tells Emperor Palpatine that they will destroy everything in their path to destroy Obi-Wan. Palpatine suggests that Darth Vader is weakened by feelings for his old friend.

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 ending explained (ClutchPoints)

After going through the wire to rescue a young Princess Leia Organa from the clutches of Reva and the Empire, the former Jedi Master must race back to Tatooine ...

His former master then calls him and tells the Jedi that they have a lot of work to do. The cherry on top, of course, is Liam Neeson’s surprise cameo in the end as it implies that he will be training Obi-Wan to become a Force Ghost like him. The Jedi tells the farmer to take good care of Luke. And as he’s walking away, Owen asks him if he wants to meet the boy. Darth Vader finally faced his old master, Reva found her redemption, Leia is rescued from the Empire, and Kenobi has gained the trust of Owen. The Third Sister manages to find Luke, an act that caught the attention of Obi-Wan from afar. He leaves it inside the ship as he waits for the Sith Lord to arrive. Vader, for his part, tells Obi-Wan that he didn’t destroy Anakin. He himself did that, the Sith Lord claims. He gives her an empty holster and tells the princess that she won’t always be a young girl. She disagrees and tells his husband that they’ll take the fight to her. From there, Roken implores the Jedi to stay. Meanwhile, Owen tells Beru about Reva and they need to hide Luke from the inquisitor. From there, the episode shifts to Darth Vader’s star destroyer chasing Obi-Wan inside the rebel freighter.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6 Review (Game Rant)

Deborah Chow brings Obi-Wan Kenobi full circle with a thrilling, action-packed, and above all deeply moving finale, bolstered by stellar performances.

Reva arrives at the Lars homestead in the middle of the night. Obi-Wan uses the former line to, once again, warn Vader of his intentions, and he uses the latter line to introduce himself to Luke. The meme quotes in The Rise of Skywalker and No Way Home felt forced, but Obi-Wan Kenobi’s use of prequel memes like “I will do what I must” and “Hello there” don’t feel like forced nostalgia-baiting at all; they fit beautifully in the context of the scenes they’re in. Obi-Wan’s brutal showdown with Vader is one of the show’s darkest sequences, but the episode also has some really sweet moments that tug on the heartstrings. Like every other episode to date, the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale exhibits the biggest problem with prequels. The six-episode run of Obi-Wan Kenobi hasn’t quite been a home run.

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 review: Finale brought heartbreak and joy (Metro)

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 review: Finale tears fans apart with heartbreak and pieces them back together with joy in stunning Star Wars ending.

Almost two decades after Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen were last seen as Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the episode 6 finale saw them face off once again… Despite Liam claiming that he would only return to Star Wars if he could do so in a film, the final moments of the finale saw him reunite with his former Padawan, as Obi-Wan rode into the desert on his Eopie. From the very beginning of Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was heavily hinted that Qui-Gon might appear in the series as a Force Ghost, having made his debut in the first film of the prequel trilogy, The Phantom Menace. While the trailers for the show appeared to imply that the series would follow Obi-Wan on his mission to protect Luke, Leia’s involvement in the narrative came as a welcome surprise. The princess has proven herself as an efficient leader, a fierce fighter and extremely wise beyond her 10 years, and the moment she shared with Obi-Wan at the end of episode six – when he told her the qualities she’d inherited from both of her parents – was one of the most emotional exchanges of the entire season. The fact that she asked Obi-Wan if she had become like Darth Vader proved – to us at least – that there’s still hope for her yet to return fully to the light side, although she would have some serious repenting to do for the atrocities she has caused in the past.

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 review: "A fitting send-off" (GamesRadar+)

"You are the future," Obi-Wan pointedly tells Leia early on in the Kenobi finale. The show's place on the Star Wars timeline, tucked in-between the prequels and ...

In one last piece of fan-service, Obi-Wan is met with one final surpris: Qui-Gon Jinn. In Liam Neeson’s best cameo this year – with apologies to Derry Girls – he marks the first step forward for Obi-Wan’s inner peace, and gives the show one last chance to showcase Ewan McGregor’s incredible facial acting as he tearfully glimpses the Force ghost of his former master. The scene is heightened, too, by smart creative choices from Chow. The flashes of red and blue across the cracked mask of Vader act as clever flashes of symbolism, while the distorted clashing voices of both Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones is the perfect way to communicate the final whispers of internal strife from within the Sith Lord. If there were any fears that the Obi-Wan Kenobi interquel would feel redundant, this scene is proof enough that it simply isn’t the case. If Obi-Wan and Vader’s lightsaber battle in the third episode was a rehearsal, then this is showtime; a main event that’s worth the wait – and then some. To stall for time, Obi-Wan takes off to a nearby planet and – inevitably – the Sith gives chase. The episode begins with Vader chasing down Obi-Wan and the Path refugees as they head to Tessen. Obi-Wan quickly concocts a plan to distract Vader and get Leia to safety. Obi-Wan Kenobi signs off with a rousing concluding episode, one packed with an abundance of fan service, well-earned emotional interactions, and a lightsaber battle that will live long in the memory.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale Recap: Was There a 'Final' Showdown ... (TVLine)

'Obi-Wan Kenobi's finale featured a final confrontation and a long-awaited cameo — read our full recap.

After returning to Tatooine, Obi-Wan is wearing his old Jedi robes while packing up the cave he’d been living in for a decade. Through an enraged voice, a weakened Vader calls after “Obi-Wan!” and collapses to his knees, steadying himself against the rocks. Leia hugs him goodbye and Obi-Wan offers these familiar parting words: “May the Force be with you.” When Reva approaches him to go in for the kill, she sees herself at his age, and memories of Anakin slaughtering younglings in the Jedi temple come rushing back. Vader insists that Kenobi now means nothing, and he only serves his new master. Realizing that his friend truly is dead, Kenobi tells the broken man before him, “Goodbye, Darth,” and walks away. I am what remains.” Obi Wan tells him he’s sorry for what happened in the past, but Vader dismisses it. It’s then that Kenobi sees his padawan’s face for the first time in years. Rather, Obi-Wan uses the Force to stop the rocks from crushing him. Vader, though, is laser focused on Kenobi and orders his ship to be prepared. The Grand Inquisitor notes an escape craft leaving the transport with one person on board, but urges Vader to continue pursuing the rebels since this is their chance to wipe them out entirely. Hugging Leia goodbye, Kenobi gives the young princess Tala’s (empty, sorry!) holster and promises her that he will come back.

Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6 Review (Den of Geek)

A slow Obi-Wan Kenobi finale strains even Star Wars' operatic credulity in favor of weightless fan service.

Like all Star Wars stories, Obi-Wan Kenobi still manages to leave the viewer with a sense of potential despite what actually appeared on screen. The final confrontation between Obi-Wan and Vader had some good dramatic moments (Vader moving the earth, and I am not immune to Obi-Wan’s Prequel fighting style) when it did not feel like a fated (scripted) high noon standoff in front of a cardboard set. What if Vader threatened Leia? What if Reva had a change of heart but didn’t know how to express that, finding herself at the wrong end of a blaster for a crime she actually didn’t commit? Speaking to the dead isn’t relevant to the plot. I can forgive a lot when it comes to Star Wars. Hyperspace moves at the speed of drama. The exception is Reva. Her choice is powerful but understated, a slow burn of conscience in which she decides not to become the monster haunting her own nightmares. It’s a slightly more naturalistic performance than in the Prequel Trilogy and yet does not lose the operatic size a core Star Wars character must have. But with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the last 20 minutes in particular devote the majority of their time to longing looks at the franchise’s past. And Beru’s insistence that the family stand their ground doesn’t work as a moment of fierce empowerment: the audience knows that Reva won’t kill the family, and that Beru’s later stand against the Empire will be completely ineffective. I’d have loved just one more flashback scene about what her dynamic with Vader was when she was younger, about how his hatred for Obi-Wan transferred to her or how her own festered. The finale wraps up with a crop of cameos and closed loops: Emperor Palpatine tells Vader to focus on the future, Obi-Wan and the Alderaan crew (including Leia, safe at home) look nervously toward what’s next for them, the Jedi Master briefly greets young Luke, and Qui-Gon’s ghost appears to lead his former apprentice into his contemplative desert fate. It’s the Jedi he wants, so Obi-Wan baits him into a fight on a rocky planet.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6: Finale Recap, Theories, and Thoughts (ComingSoon.net)

Welcome, Star Wars fans, to our final recap of Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series. I'm shocked that we're already at the final episode.

Really, this series would have made a solid 2-hour film, and I fully expect a number of fan edits to rework the 6 hours of footage into a more streamlined experience. (This nitpick is more a fault of the prequels than Obi-Wan Kenobi, but you gotta work within the defined constructs of the Star Wars franchise — otherwise what the hell are we doing here?) “But also, you’re under arrest for the murder of several people (including a Jedi) and the kidnapping of Princess Leia of Alderaan.” Star Wars loves to reward last-second reclamation (?) projects, but where Darth Vader and Kylo Ren (spoiler alert) died after embracing their inner good guy (conveniently sidestepping the consequences), Reva is very much alive and free to star in her own spinoff. “I fear for her future,” Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) says, nodding to Leia (no one tell him about Alderaan). “The Empire grows stronger and bolder.” I really want to see Padme again.” Palpatine quickly peaces out and Vader leans back in his chair as the Imperial March finally plays on the soundtrack. Back under the rocks, Obi-Wan thinks of a happy thought (Leia!) and escapes a crushing death (snare drum). Emboldened, Obi-Wan attacks Vader with reckless abandon. (McGregor recalling his “I will do what I must” line from Revenge of the Sith slaps hard.) The former pals engage in combat. “I got something I wanna say,” comes the familiar voice of Reva (Moses Ingram) who Force pushes the man to the side and questions the water vendor about Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton). Frankly, I’m surprised Reva is in as good a shape as she is considering she just got stabbed by Darth Vader a few hours prior. Vader exits his ship and (after walking a mile) comes face to face with a decidedly more noble Obi-Wan Kenobi. “The circle is now complete,” Obi-Wan says. The rebel vessel poops out Obi-Wan’s escape craft (how big is that ship?) in front of Vader and the man in black orders his men to follow. Obi-Wan implores Haja to take Leia back to Alderaan as soon as he’s in the clear. I’m hoping the last episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi delivers the strong character and/or spectacle we’ve come to expect from Star Wars in a big way.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale Recap: Hello There (Vulture)

Obi-Wan and ex-Anakin finally get the lightsaber duel (and closure) they've been brooding about for a decade. A recap of “Part VI,” the sixth episode and ...

There’s a bit more of this matching game later in the episode, as Obi-Wan agrees to take a more hands-off “here if you need me” approach to his watching over Luke, tacitly explaining why a teenage Luke is familiar with “crazy old Ben” rather than “the cool lightsaber-wielding guy who’s always watching our backs.” It helps Obi-Wan’s case that he’s not the one who saves Luke from Reva, who knocks him down from an embankment and approaches his unconscious body, ready to strike. I understand that the funky-alien-diner vibe was ultimately not the goal of this relatively somber character piece, but if Obi-Wan pulls a classic prestige TV and does follow up its “limited series” with a second season, I dearly hope it will leave room for some more Lucas-style whimsy. • The petty question that always lingers with me when a cinematic event or character makes the jump to TV is this: Did this need to be a series? (It seems like Vader would have the resources to pursue Obi-Wan while sending the rest of the Empire after the others, but never mind.) Here is the actual lightsaber battle, that “rematch of the century” that can’t really hope to live up to the operatic intensity of characters battling it out on an erupting lava planet. Obi-Wan Kenobi started out feeling like a sequel to a prequel; it ended up feeling like a prequel to itself. That’s doubly true of Obi-Wan’s crushing rejection of Vader’s vow for revenge: “Good-bye,” he says, before adding an uneasy “Darth.” Obi-Wan has never really talked about attempting to bring Anakin back from the dark side; the futile hope and subsequent sad reality of the situation are all allowed to live in McGregor’s performance. (“The weakness still remains … which is why you will always lose!” isn’t worlds away from Darth Helmet’s “Evil will always triumph over good … because good is dumb.”) As directed by Deborah Chow, the fight feels like it has its own visual identity, using her favored (and, let’s be frank, probably cost-effective) lightsabers-as-lanterns technique and the landscape’s roughness to stage something scrappier and less elegant than the Revenge of the Sith face-off. For a few minutes, the show, too, gets to pierce through all of that heavy helmet iconography and look for a human who might be able to meet Obi-Wan’s gaze. As the entertaining and satisfying “Part VI” opens, the Empire is hot on the heels of the transport carrying various Force-adjacent refugees, and while Roken (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) tries to keep hope alive among his passengers, he quietly confides to Obi-Wan that they’re basically screwed. (Doesn’t he also … want to save everyone?) Okay, fine, you want to make it clear that Obi-Wan is actually ready to stop avoiding the big Darth, but boy, it would have been cool if Roken felt like an actual character and not just the person who spouts off contradictory assertions to gin up nominal conflict. Gleaming, menacing helmets have become a major part of the Star Wars iconography, to the point where they’ve come to symbolize a kind of originalist traditionalism in the series. Yet the movie is prescient about one aspect of Star Wars movies that had not yet been produced back in 1987: Underneath the gleaming, menacing dark helmet is a whiny, insecure human being — whether it’s Rick Moranis or Hayden Christensen.
