Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 5 Recap
The episode begins with a flashback lightsaber sparring lesson between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Here, the Jedi Master teaches his padawan the value of patience in opposition to rushing. Then, we smash cut to the present. Darth Vader promotes Reva to Grand Inquisitor for tracking down Leia and Obi-Wan to Dabiim.
In Dabiim, the rebel outpost must evacuate the people living there. But they must take some time. So they barricade themselves shut. Meanwhile, they need to repair the spaceport, and Leia’s Skywalker genes kick in, So she volunteers to do some wrench work and fix the spaceport gate. After that, Teva tells Obi-Wan why she defected from the Empire. Teva chose to join the Rebel Alliance because she didn’t want to see more kids dying at the hands of the Empire.
Reva Lands in Dabiim
With a massive detail of stormtroopers, Grand Inquisitor Reva lands in Dabiim and begins sieging the Rebel Outpost. She breaches in, and Obi-Wan faces her. An interesting dialogue ensues between the two, and we learn that Reva used to be a Jedi padawan youngling. That’s how she knows that Vader is Anakin. But Obi-Wan uses that information to turn Reva around and gain some time.
Vader orders a massive onslaught as he lands in Dabiim, and Reva acquiesces to Obi-Wan’s plead for mercy. So the two create a distraction. Meanwhile, the stormtroopers continue the breach of the outpost. In an intense blaster battle, Teva is fatally shot. To buy some time, she sacrifices herself with a grenade to barricade a door and give Obi-Wan and the rebels time to escape.
Darth Vader Lands In Dabiim
When Vader enters Dabiim, he makes his way through the tunnels and to the outpost and sees a spaceship about to take off. Then, he employs his force powers to crash-land the ship and tear it apart, only to find no one there. We then smash cut to another sparring session between Anakin and Obi-Wan, where Anakin disarms Obi-Wan and tells him it’s over because he has no weapon. But Obi-Wan uses the force to take away his lightsaber. Then, we smash cut to the present. Just as Vader finds no one in the spaceship, another spaceship takes off with everybody on board.
Reva’s Comeuppance
When Vader sees that Leia and Obi-Wan escaped again, Reva comes up behind him with her lightsaber and tries to take a swing at him. But Darth Vader employs the force to overpower her. A nasty battle begins where Vader tries to give Reva a chance, only to subdue her and leave her badly wounded. He asks her if she thinks he can’t see through her ruse. Then, the former Grand Inquisitor pops up, takes a signet from Reva’s lapel, and Vader leaves Reva to die.
In agony, she notices that Obi-Wan left his communicator gadget on the ground and opens it. And sees a message about Tatooine. Immediately, we smash cut to Obi-Wan in the spaceship talking to the rebels and Leia, and he’s shocked because Reva’s using the force to contact him. Once more, we smash cut to Tatooine, zoom in to Uncle Owen’s farm, and see young Luke sleeping in his bed. And then Obi-Wan is scared as he fears something might come his way. And the episode ends with that cliffhanger.
