Storyline

- TriviaAt the beginning of the episode, Vader's Star Destroyer is chasing the ship where Obi-Wan and the refugees escape Jabiim, just like the beginning of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) where it is chasing the Tantive IV where Leia and the Rebels are carrying the stolen blueprints of the Death Star. Also the music that plays during the scene is very similar to the John Williams track Hyperspace, which played in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) during the Millennium Falcon's escape from pursuing Imperial ships after departing Cloud City.
- GoofsVader orders the Star Destroyer to change course to pursue Obi-Wan in the drop ship, then says he will take his personal ship down to the planet and face Kenobi himself. If he had a personal ship, he could have deployed that earlier and kept the Star Destroyer pursuing the escaping Rebels. There would have been no need to abandon the pursuit of the Rebels.

After watching the entire season, I think I understand why this derailment of the character happened - the original writers were not brought on board.
This is not saying the writers of Obi-Wan Kenobi don't have merit in their own right. They are all very accomplished writers with the films they've penned so far, and some of their movies are my favorites.
But it seems to me these writers, or the top executives in charge, were NOT familiar with the franchise, the world or these characters.
Dave Filoni was an influential force behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, and yet I only see him mentioned as a "Thanks" in the credits, and I think that was a huge mistake. But maybe he's on other projects right now and couldn't do this project. Too bad. The success of The Mandalorian, I believe, is partially because of Mr. Filoni.
These animated series were the very backstory and foundation for the setting of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which it seems Disney did not take advantage of. It's almost as if the entire Rebel storyline was blasted with a pallet of thermal detonators regarding the Inquisitors, which were introduced in Rebels.
It's too bad. As another reviewer mentioned, this series seemed very rushed, and I agree. I was really looking forward to this storyline, as I'm sure many Star Wars fans were.
