Moving on.
It's not not nitpicking to highlight that the the writing, directing or editing for this show is terrible, or there's a mixture of the three. There's hardly anything that makes sense. Just looking at the last episode alone...
The rebel ship escaping the battleship was almost as silly as Leia running around in the woods. Why didn't Vader send TIE fighters to blast it? Why didn't he go after Obi-Wan in his own ship and let the battleship carry on after the escape ship?
In a few days Obi-Wan has gone from no powers, which was already silly, to being able to move mountains. He becomes Obi-Wanda Kenobi.
Last week Vader let Reva live - because reasons. This week Vader lets Obi-Wan live - because reasons.
The action for the Obi-Wan and Vader fight was good but let down by the edit that kept switching away from it.
Obi-Wan lets Vader live - again, even though he now knows there's no Anakin in there. And after earlier in the episode he says "whether he dies or I do, this ends today". And "my friend is truly dead. Goodbye Darth". He could have at least light-sabred the s**t out of Vader's ship.
Reva fixes the gaping holes in her body with no explanation then teleports to Tatooine.
How does Reva know Luke is Anakin's son? Or where he is?
Luke's adoptive parents find out one of the most dangerous assassins in the universe is looking for Luke. Their cunning plan is to stay exactly where she can find him. Why did Reva wait until dark to go after Luke? She's got Jedi powers and has a lightsaber - against a couple of farmers.
Why would she want to kill Luke? Luckily for him her motivation flips yet again.
We know none of the main characters die. So any jeopardy towards them loses impact. And the show doesn't develop any of them in a meaningful way in relation to the movies - in some cases it is inconsistent. It appears to be just a vehicle to set up Reva for a spin-off of the spin-off.
The dialog. "You're ten years old. But you won't always be". FMD.
Luke is chased by a crazy lady with a red lightsaber then meets Ben Kenobi. It doesn't reconcile with his experience in A New Hope.
Leia - when Obi-Wan comes to see her after saving her life multiple times, and saving the rebels on the escape ship - runs past him to play with her droid toy. Also Leia (according to Obi-Wan) "You are wise, discerning, kind hearted". "And passionate, and fearless, forthright". FMD.
Obi-Wan tells Owen the only protection Luke needs "is you". From what we've just seen that is nonsense.
Obi-Wan tells Bail Organa that if Leia ever needs help again "You know where to find me". The very next scene he wanders off on a camel with whereabouts unknown.
