The Mel Brooks spoofSpaceballsis not an especially exacting parody ofStar Wars.
Obi-Wan never explicitly states finding Anakin as his goal in confronting Vader again.
Its supposed to be more practical.
He then intuits that Obi-Wan isntreallydoing this to save everyone (even though it probably will?)
but because he wants to.
(Doesnt he also … want to save everyone?)
Reva as a desperate, wounded (emotionally and physically!)
outlaw gives Moses Ingram more interesting notes to play than her more strained attempts at intimidation.
(The weakness still remains … which is why you will always lose!
isnt worlds away from Darth Helmets Evil will always triumph over good … because good is dumb.)
Vader buries Obi-Wan in rocks, sarcastically calls him master (classic Anakin!
), and stalks off.
For all of it.
You didnt kill Anakin Skywalker.
In some ways, this confrontation is a continuity loop-closer.
(He restrains himself from saying, You want to go home and rethink your life.)
So Reva is freed from her maniacal quest.
Vader is dissuaded from a relentless pursuit of Obi-Wan by the Emperor.
Leia returns home and no longer feels shackled to royal traditions.
So even more than OShea Jackson Jr., Maya Erskine really didnt have a character to play.
(Enjoy that peek through the window to my madness.)
When I awoke and watched the episode, there was no Watto.
Was this a bold stance against fan-service pandering?
