Part 6 of this very short series is the best in the entry by far. I have enjoyed every episode of the series so far, but like everyone else, I felt very underwhelmed by it. There were so many missed opportunities here it's almost insulting. From the very limited screen time of Hayden and Joel, to the over use of Reva. (don't blame the actress, it's not her fault). We only got one flashback and not much story. Those are the issues I've had with the series.
On the plus side, Ewan and the little girl who plays Leia did a brilliant job. You cannot fault them. I liked seeing old places and Vader was truly a scary, intimidating 'secondary' villain. He should have been the center of the show along with Kenobi. The show really does have some breathtaking scenes, and if you are a true Star Wars fan, I dare you not to get weepy during a couple of scenes in Part 6. Even if you didn't like the show, you can't deny how emotional that Vader and Kenobi scene was, especially coming off ep2-3 and Clone Wars.
The music in part 6 was also very good, despite it being pretty poor during the previous 5 episodes. It stood out and hearing Williams' themes was the cherry on top.
Overall part 6 was the best of the series, by a large margin, and it's a shame the series isn't doing well among fans, since this is the show we have all wanted. This was more hyped than the previous shows and even the more recent movies, and yet they missed the mark.
Good series, just not a great one.
