Obi-Wan Kenobi Part V Review: 7 Ups & 3 Downs
7. The EPIC Action Sequences
The main focus of Part V is the Path base being overrun by an enraged Reva and her stormtrooper forces, who about halfway through the episode charge into battle in hopes of capturing Obi-Wan and his new friends.
Taking place in claustrophobic hallways, the rebels heavily outnumbered, the battle sequences soar to life with intensity and genuinely high stakes.
Many redshirts predictably die in the fight, but so does fan favourite rebel Tala and her droid NED-B, who are gunned-down in a particularly wrenching sequence that allows both characters to go out on their own heroic turns.
Later in the episode, Vader barrels into the action and unleashes the full force of his colossal power, using the momentum of the crushing battle to serve up on of the most terrifying portrayals of the Sith icon to date.
The previous episode's all featured some strong action sequences - especially Part III - but Part V has pushed the series to another level.
