Vader tells her to: “Lock down the facility,” but when the gutsy inquisitor warns him the rebels could survive a siege for days, he reveals that his intention is not to break the defenders but Kenobi.īack on Jabiim and evil red-eyed Lola emerges from Leia’s jacket pocket and sneaks into a vent full of wires before we cut to Obi-Wan gazing at a wall of Aurebesh (opens in new tab) and reading: “The light will fade, but is never forgotten.” He then looks down towards a box of lightsaber hilts, symbolic of the life left behind by those Jedi who outran the Empire and escaped into obscurity.
Happy to pay the weary travelers back, Obi-Wan agrees to help.īack on Vader’s ship we’re treated to a cool shot of the Dark Lord staring into the perpetual blue stream of hyperspace before Reva advises him that they’re nearing Jabiim. Obi-Wan soon turns his attention back to Roken, eager to get Leia on the first ship back to Alderaan, but the rebel leader explains that a backlog of travelers formed when operations were put on hold during Leia’s rescue. Once again, he steals the scene and we can only hope he features in next week’s series finale. It turns out his run-in with Reva left him no choice but to flee his shady operation and head for Jabiim.
As Obi-Wan steps off the ship he spies a familiar face, Haja Estree (Kumail Nanjiani), the fraudster turned good guy who helped him onto the Path back on Daiyu. The transport carrying Obi-Wan, Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair), Tala (Indira Varma) and Roken (O’Shea Jackson Jr) touches down on Jabiim, where a crowd has gathered to see if the infiltration of Fortress Inquisitorius was a success. Pleased with Reva’s efforts, the Dark Lord orders her to kneel and dubs her Grand Inquisitor. An imperial officer announces the arrival of the Third Sister (Moses Ingram) where she reveals that the tracker – placed in Lola in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi’ episode 4' (opens in new tab) – has led them to Jabiim.
