Category: Season 1

Obi-Wan arrives on Daiyu, searching for the kidnapped young Princess Leia Organa. He learns on the street of a Jedi who helps those in need, but, following that lead, finds a con man named Haja posing as a Jedi, his help to the downtrodden costing his marks everything they have. Obi-Wan turns the tables on Haja to get his help at a substantial discount. This leads him to a building where illegal substances are prepared for sale on the street – and, in a secluded room within, he finds two things: the missing Princess, and bounty hunter Vect Nokru and his thugs. Leia doesn’t know or trust Obi-Wan, and runs from him – and runs face-first into trouble, until Obi-Wan proves that he truly is a Jedi Knight. But this only brings more attention to him, and reveals to the Grand Inquisitor that Reva is pulling the strings to draw Kenobi out for reasons of her own. With an entire city of stormtroopers bearing down on them, Obi-Wan and Leia are unexpectedly given a new escape route by Haja, but Reva is waiting to try to cut off their escape – and reveals to Obi-Wan that Anakin Skywalker still lives, though not in a form that his old teacher would recognize.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Fleeing from Daiyu aboard an automated cargo freighter, Obi-Wan finds himself on the receiving end of questions from Leia about the Force. They arrive on a planet in the Mapuzo system, heavily mined by the Empire, where Haja said help would be waiting, though the exact coordinates are behind an Imperial checkpoint, and Obi-Wan’s furtive behavior is enough to raise suspicion and start a firefight. When a second contingent of stormtroopers arrives, they are cut down by blaster fire from their own commanding officer, Tala, who is the contact Obi-Wan and Leia have been looking for. Tala introduces them to the Path, a clandestine network of waypoints and safe houses that have been used to conceal surviving members of the Jedi order. But before they can leave, a new Imperial presence arrives – the Inquisitors and Darth Vader himself, making a spectacle of tormenting to locals in order to draw Obi-Wan out. He tells Leia to go to the next transport on her own, and charges Tala with ensuring the girl’s safety. Obi-Wan sets out to distract Vader from the girl, but even with that as his only goal, the confrontation does not go well for the out-of-practice Jedi. Reva, in the meantime, having engineered her ascension within the ranks of the Inquisitors, finds that her “sisters” and “brothers” are not as accepting of her tactics.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Smuggled away from Mapuzo by Tala and her reprogrammed mining droid, Obi-Wan awakens in a bacta tank on Jabiim, at one of the safehouses on the Path. But Leia has been taken to an Imperial complex on Nur, an ocean moon of Mustafar, where Reva shows little restraint in interrogating her, despite the fact that her prisoner is a ten-year-old girl. Obi-Wan tries to convince Tala and a pilot named Roken to assist him in recovering Leia, with Tala noting that Leia knows enough about the Path to destroy the entire underground operation keeping the last few Jedi alive. A small rescue mission is approved, but the entire plan depends on Tala’s cover as an Imperial officer still being intact, and Obi-Wan being able to muster enough of his former prowess with the Force to keep both of them, and Leia, alive long enough to escape.

Obi-Wan Theme by John Williams / adapted by William Ross

Cast: Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Indira Varma (Tala Durith), Vivien Lyra Blair (Princess Leia Organa), Moses Ingram (Reva), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Roken), Maya Erskine (Sully), Sung Kang (Fifth Brother), Rya Kihlstedt (Fourth Sister), James Earl Jones (voice of Darth Vader), Hayden Christensen (Darth Vader), Ryder McLaughlin (Wade Resselian), Joss Glennie-Smith (Fortress Inquisitorius Security Guard), David Will No (Fortress Inquisitorius Terminal Officer), Jonathan Ho (Jedi Youngling), Oliver Ho (Jedi Youngling), Helen Day (Fortress Inquisitorius Officer), Dimitrious Bistrevsky (Darth Vader performance artist)

Notes: The disturbing sight of various captured Jedi – including younglings – being kept in the bowels of Fortress Inquisitorius like biological specimens may hint at the Empire’s secret project to harvest midichlorians, which continues as far in the future as The Mandalorian and Moff Gideon’s repeated attempts to capture Grogu, and possibly as far forward as the creation of Snoke and the rebirth of Emperor Palpatine in the sequel trilogy. The vehicles that have been known for over 40 years as Rebel snowspeeders may have been incorrectly identified, as we see them operating in a decidedly non-winter-weather environment here.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Obi-Wan, Tala, and Roken arrive back on Jabiim with Leia, unaware that Reva has planted a tracking device on Leia’s droid, L0-LA. Vader and Reva are already en route to Jabiim, and this particular safehouse on the Path will need to be evacuated in short order…except that Obi-Wan’s pursuers have already anticipated that. L0-LA, under Reva’s control, seals the launch doors, leaving the transports unable to lift off, and trapping countless civilian refugees in the middle of what seems like an ensuing battle between Vader and Kenobi. Leia works to undo L0-LA’s damage, while Obi-Wan finally realizes that Reva herself was a Jedi padawan who survived Order 66; her grudge is not just with him, but with Vader. In order to use Vader’s impatience against him, Obi-Wan plans to give everyone time to escape, while also evading a confrontation with Vader himself. But the cost of this plan, for many, will be very high.

Notes: Apparently, surviving being run through with a lightsaber, without any apparent immediate medical attention, is a thing that can be done now. It may or may not depend on damage done to major organs. This episode contains flashbacks both to Vader’s assault on the Jedi Temple in Revenge Of The Sith as well as sparring matches between Anakin and Obi-Wan that most likely happen shortly before Attack Of The Clones.
