Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi Episode 3 brings us the first reunion and subsequent duel between Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen). Obi-Wan’s rescue of a young Princess Leia put the former Jedi Master back on Vader’s radar for the first time in a decade, and the Sith Lord is relentless in tracking Kenobi down before he slips away again. Vader corners Obi-Wan on the mining planet of Mapuzo and commits some ruthless torture and murder of locals until Obi-Wan shows himself.ย

To protect Leia, Obi-Wan leads Vader into the mining grounds for a game of cat-and-mouse dueling, with an opponent he knows outclasses him in power. We, the Star Wars fans, got both a satisfying Star Wars duel that comes as close to nightmare fuel as anything else in the franchise!ย

Even in his worst depictions (Rogue One) Darth Vader is still one of the greatest villains ever.ย

people saying โvader wasnโt aggressive enoughโ acting like he literally didnโt break some kids neck and burn obi wan alive like,,, i donโt know how much more aggressive you want him to be dude
Wow, some people thought the Vader who was snapping necks indiscriminately and dragging Obi-Wan through a fire pit was somehow ‘too tame?’ Uh right…..ย
You’re Ruining The Canon!
WHY THE FUCK DOES VADER MEET OBI WAN anytime between episode 3 and 4??? It destroys the impact of them meeting in A New Hope. The writers just can't help themselves man. Fuck everything that is Disney. They're creative vampires. https://t.co/FpBCJeF7A5

There’s always that guy out there in the fandom. Wonder if he still feels the same AFTER watching Obi-Wan Episode 3?ย

ok but obi wan getting lightheaded the moment vader steps out onto the village???? the way vader can still sense obi wan as well?????? after 10 years???????? AND IT STILL GOES ON IN ANH TOO DONT TALK TO ME!!!
The Obi-Wan series reminds us just how deep the bond between Obi-Wan and Anakin was โ and makes up appreciate the way Alec Guinness’s Obi-Wan handles that connections and rematch duelย moment in A New Hope.ย
