Warning: Spoilers
This was a great episode. We finally see Vader and he is brutal as ever. Obi Wan has clearly lost his touch and is very disconnected with the force.

After mustafar 10 years ago, Obi Wan has lost hope, he doesn't believe that there is much good in people these days and it is very understandable. Obi wan is rattled learning his former apprentice is alive and also has a hallucination of Anakin in a distance (first appearance of Hayden in his true form).

Obi wan and leia have engaging conversations. Leia is a whole hearted child and always believes that there is good in people as a child should.

Obi wan also reveals some aspects about his origins such as his parents and also mentions he may have had a brother...? Not much was told but enough to make it intriguing. We also see "uncivilized kenobi" holding a blaster and shooting stormtroopers.

But the main gem of this episode was Vader. He is hell bent on getting revenge on obi wan, but not by a simple kill, he wants to spook him and make him feel all the pain Vader felt on Mustafar. Obi wan escapes with the help of a friend but is badly injured.

One thing that caught my eye was the brutality of Vader in this episode. Just before facing against obi wan we see him committing some terrible acts without much commotion and that's the part which set the tone. This is how Vader is should be portrayed.

But when obi wan escaped, I was a bit concerned with the plot armor involved in it. But ,nevertheless, it doesn't ruin the episode.

Overall:9/10

Can't wait to see what happens next week!
