Meanwhile, Reva is on Tatooine, trying to find 10-year-old Luke Skywalker and kill him the way Luke’s father killed her friends.
Vader follows Kenobi down to some planet and we get a brilliant face-off. This is truly Obi-Wan Kenobi coming back to his Jedi ways — and it is beautiful to see. He has callback lines from the prequels and does some of his classic moves and lightsaber twirling that fans will easily recall.
