History Recap / ObiWanKenobiPartIII

* CurbStompCushion: Though Vader wins fairly handily, Obi-Wan does manage to hold him off for a minute, though ten years out of practice and in shock and turmoil over seeing Anakin alive.

** The writing indicates that Quinlan Vos was helped by the Path.

* DropTheHammer: NED-B is ready to start bashing the stormtroopers with a heavy mallet to keep them from finding the safehouse, but one of the stormtroopers accurately points out to the other that NED-B can't respond to them and gives up the search.

--> ''Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker'': I am what you made me!\\
''Second Sister / [[spoiler:Trilla Suduri]]'': I am what [[spoiler:Cere]] made me.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Vader prefers PragmaticVillainy and [[YouHaveFailedMe straightforward murder]]. When dealing with Obi-Wan, he instead toys with him and ''tortures'' him. ItsPersonal; Vader still blames Obi-Wan for [[InsaneTrollLogic turning Padme against him and murdering her]] and for [[CruelMercy crippling him and leaving him to die on Mustafar]].

* FreezeFrameBonus: Some of the details in the Path's safehouse include names carved into the walls in [[ArtificialScript Aurebesh lettering]], presumably of people who have previously stayed there. These include names such as Djinn Altis, a MythologyGag to ''Literature/TheCallistaTrilogy'' (Master Altis ran the ''Chu'unthor'', the starship-based Jedi academy where Callista Ming trained).

* SpottingTheThread: Though he doesn't follow up, Freck notices that Leia's hastily-thought-up cover story is strange, so he assumes there's something hinky and hands them over to the Stormtroopers at the checkpoint.

* AffablyEvil: Freck, an Imperial sympathizer, is genuine in his friendliness to stormtroopers and the outsiders. He's also completely willing to ignore the pain the Empire has put people through because it hasn't inconvenienced him, and is willing to sell out Obi-Wan and Leia at the first sign of trouble.

* BondingOverMissingParents: While on the truck, Obi-Wan and Leia connect over never knowing their birth families and being HappilyAdopted.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When they reach the rendezvous and their contact is absent, Obi-Wan assumes they've been betrayed, leading Leia to flag down a transport hovercraft as an alternate means to reach the spaceport. [[GaveUpTooSoon Had Obi-Wan waited]], Tala would have arrived, picked them up, and likely sent them offworld with no fuss. As it stands, Obi-Wan instead alerts the Inquisitors when he's scanned at a checkpoint, gets manhandled by Vader, and the episode ends with Reva confronting Leia.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Faced with remaining hidden while Vader murders innocent people or revealing himself and suffering the Sith Lord's wrath, Obi-Wan chooses to let Vader find him.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Vader toying with Obi-Wan rather than just killing him outright. It's completely in character, of course, as Vader ''very'' much intends to collect a decade's worth of pain and suffering from his old Master for what he did on Mustafar. Vader needs ''and'' wants Obi-Wan to ''suffer'' before even ''considering'' allowing him to embrace death's sweet release.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Obi-Wan may have defeated his former apprentice [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith a decade ago]], but he's now a decade out of practice as well as mentally shaken at seeing Vader alive and more machine than man. He gets his ass thoroughly whupped.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Obi-Wan may have defeated his former apprentice [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith a decade ago]], but he's now a decade out of practice as well as mentally shaken at seeing Vader. He gets his ass thoroughly whupped.

* YouGotSpunk: Tala seems genuinely amused and slightly impressed by Leia asking the former to teach her to shoot.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Reva (and possibly the other Inquisitors) looks disturbed when Vader casually snaps a boy's neck. This is especially notable for Reva, who herself is the most brutal and ruthless of the Inquisitors. [[FridgeHorror This takes a darker turn once you realize her backstory]].
