Star Wars BEWARE SPOILER ALERTS NOW AHEAD

Did they have storm troopers manning the cannons on the star destroyer?
Could have done without the cheesy speech from Kenobi to Leia & the pointless Qui-Gon apparition.
There's also a deleted scene

The objective of the fight was there, from two perspectives. 

1) It was used to clarify the line Vader said when he met Old Ben in Ep IV about how he was the learner before, but now is the master. That was a real head-scratcher, until Ep III when we saw him go all crispy, but nay, Ol' Georgie Boy and The HouseofMouse had more stories to tell... 

2) From the storyline perspective, Obi-Wan said two things that led to the duel. Firstly, he was using himself as bait to give the ship full time to get away (surely though they could have dispatched a couple of TIEs or other ships to get the escapees back, but you know, plot-hole!), and secondly he was trying to speak to Qui-Gon saying how he had to end the thing between the two of them. 

I doubt one rock would have done the trick, he was pummeling the hell outta Vader. 

Bummer you didn't enjoy it as much though. I know how annoying it is when you get some SW content and it's just MEH.. I'm looking at you Book of Boba Fett!!

It was ok, just could have been more - I would put Filoni in charge of everything, he gets it 100%.

Besides, it's not just tv - it's Star Wars! The 5 year old me still demands a higher standard

This looks like it's going to be really good

Three episode debut! wowowowowow I'm getting to bed late that night!

Did you not enjoy Obi-Wan at all?
