It’s perfectly safe to eat the olives in your martini, or the pickled onions or the cherries or the muddled fruit or the fruit slices in cocktails. Re: “Those garnishes were likely peeled, sliced, and dumped into a glass hours earlier...” At every bar I’ve been to that doesn’t serve cocktails as an afterthought, you…

Or you could just check to see if the TP is empty before you sit down.

the whole point of the game is about the discovery of every clue that will lead you to understand what’s happening and it’s fantastic all the way through. Unfortunately that feeling can only be experienced once :(

I didn’t see any mention of the worst plot hole in the episode — the fact that the full resources available to the Empire couldn’t track down and interdict an automated cargo vessel with a predetermined schedule and destination before it lands anywhere.

I loved how Obi Wan had to disabled the laser gate. Dude, it’s for cars, just... you know, walk around it.

Then it’s your lucky day, because this was our first-ever glimpse of a chapparal planet!

So many of the action scenes are missing any sense of urgency. The bad guys just walk around and the good guys often sit and chat even when danger is imminent. It’s a prequel so we know that Vader isn’t going to kill Obi Wan, but the show makes it seem like Vader knows that too and just decides not to try all that…

Vader can’t go aroung the same flames he EXTINGUISHED seconds earlier with the Force.

I did enjoy that final scene of Rogue One where his arrival on the Tantive IV was shot like a horror movie, rebel soldiers cowering like Leatherface was breaking down their cabin door with a chainsaw.

Or at that red laser gate. I get that his Jedi powers are a little rusty, but he couldn’t “force” the guards “we are not who you are looking for” or something?

As others have pointed out, Reva is smart enough to know they’re going to a “port” for a ship and get there the fast way.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader kills children more than anyone else

And don’t forget the laser gate that Obi Wan struggled with, when it looked like they could have easily walk around it. 

Exactly. It’s absolute shit writing, because it all is motivated by what they want to happen in the plot, rather than what actual, sentient beings would do in the situation.

... and just snapping necks of innocent townies just to try and draw Kenobi out of hiding.

That wasn’t even the most brutal thing! When he’s choking out that dad for no reason, the son runs out, and he snaps his fucking neck! WOW. ON A DISNEY SHOW TOO. Vader is literally just walking around town randomly killing people.

Ok, Vader let Obi-Wan get away. Why?

Same reason he told the stormtrooper to “Bring him to me”, instead of just Force-pulling Obi-Wan over like he’d been doing all the rest of the episode.

Because the plot needed him to.  It’s the worst reason for characters to do anything.

Seriously. Darth Vader was presented as a scary, relentless, ruthless, unstoppable engine of malice, while Obi-Wan was pretty much pissing himself in fear. A hell of a sequence. And then the whole flaming glass Force drag torture moment really reinforced the darkness between the former friends/master & Padawan...

One thing I’ve definitely liked about the Disney era is that they make sure Darth Vader is the scariest, most brutal motherfucker in the room every time he shows up.

When he dragged Obi-Wan through the fire using the Force, I was like “JESUS!!!”
