Kenobi, Tala, and Leia manage to escape Fortress Inquisitorius with a combination of fast thinking and the abject failure of the Empire to get Stormtroopers who can actually hit a target, and once again Reva is bested by “an old man and a child.” Their escape is not without casualties, as Wade, one of Roken’s pilots is killed by Reva as they attempt to flee from the fortress. The final act of the fourth episode is fairly straightforward. Reva sends Tala to be interrogated, but she doesn’t get much further than that before censors start going off, alerting her to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s arrival. It’s a convincing lie because her words are filled with half-truths, but Reva isn’t entirely convinced by the potential turncoat. Thinking on her feet, Tala requests an audience with Reva and provides her with false information about the network’s operations. Reva tries a handful of tactics on the child, from intimidating her to attempting to sympathize with her and her droid Lola, but nothing works, prompting her to take things to the next level. Reva questions Leia about the operation, assuming that a child would have been made privy to the intimate details of an underground network of Jedi sympathizers and, as expected, she doesn’t have any information to provide her with. During her hunt for the duo, she located the hideaway on Mapuzo that bore the markings of the Jedi, indicating that there was some secret network operating to whisk them out of the clutches of the Inquisitors. With Kenobi seemingly incapacitated, Reva has set her sights on a new means of earning favor with Darth Vader. It’s no wonder that in a few years she’s entirely unfazed by being held in Imperial custody or undeterred by Darth Vader’s intimidating presence-she’s been holding her own ground against them since she was knee-high. Reva attempts to convince Leia that Ben Kenobi is dead and that no one is coming to rescue her, Leia’s precocious attitude carries her through the unnerving situation. While Reva seemed to flinch last week when Darth Vader mercilessly slaughtered townspeople on Mapuzo, this week she seems to have no qualms about interrogating a ten-year-old so long as it gets her that promotion she’s angling for. Undeterred by his pain, Obi-Wan is insistent that they must rescue Leia at any cost. The flashes force Obi-Wan to retreat from the tank before he is fully healed, much to the chagrin of Tala ( Indira Varma) who tries to convince him to stay in the bacta tank longer to properly heal. As Obi-Wan is immersed in the rejuvenating liquid, his healing process is intercut with jarring sequences of Anakin Skywalker soaking in his own bacta tank, heavily scarred, limbless, and tormented. While fans (myself included) may have been hoping for Obi-Wan to relive his greatest hits from the Clone Wars era while he was submerged in the bacta tank, Obi-Wan Kenobi opted to make it hurt in a different way. The fourth episode is no different, as last week, Reva ( Moses Ingram) had absconded with the child while Ben was being dragged through the flames by his former friend Darth Vader ( Hayden Christensen), whisking her away to the heavily armored Fortress Inquisitorius.

Since the premiere, Obi-Wan Kenobihas been largely focused around rescuing young Princess Leia ( Vivien Lyra Blair) from the clutches of the Empire that wants to use her as a pawn to root Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor) out of hiding.
