'KENOBI': DUELLING NATURES!


We all knew that Hayden Christensen would be returning to the Star Wars saga in Obi-Wan Kenobi to play the post Episode III malevolent form of Darth Vader, and perhaps also for some specific scenes as Anakin Skywalker linked to Order 66, but who wasn't surprised by this excellent additional new flashback sequence of Obi-Wan and his Padawan learner sparring in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It was both wonderfully nostalgic to see the iconic pair again in action/banter but was also fine storytelling linked to the soon ongoing hatred Darth Vader would show towards his former friend and master, and how Obi-Wan could always beat his young friend thanks to his life experience, balance with the Force, and temperament in conflict.

Will there be more scenes like this should a second season be announced shortly? Let's hope so...
