Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part II

In a twist from the Jedi looking after one twin to instead go save the other, “Part II” begins Obi-Wan‘s (Ewan McGregor) mission to save young Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from her kidnappers. The second episode of the series hits some highs and lows before settling on the big reveal where Obi-Wan discovers his former apprentice is still alive. Before that we’ll get some random alien market backdrop, Kumail Nanjiani having some fun as a fake Jedi (yes, he’s fun, but can we agree he would been killed in three-seconds or less by any competent Inquisitor?), and several supposedly smart characters continuing to make bonehead decisions against their own self-interest. Oh, and we get the dumbest smart kid ever introduced to the Star Wars universe who continues to make her rescue far more difficult than it needs to be. I know they are working from a basic formula at this point, but not every Star Wars property needs a cute kid.
