OBI-WAN KENOBI EPISODE 3 EASTER EGGS and BREAKDOWN
The episode opens with Obi-Wan Kenobi meditating, once again calling out for Qui-Gon.
We hear Reva’s voice telling Obi-Wan that Anakin is alive. Yoda is heard telling him, “Only pain you will find,” as a machine helps Vader out of his Bacta Tank. We hear Qui-Gon say, “Obi-Wan, promise me you will train the boy.” And finally, we hear Anakin say, “If you’re not with me, then you are my enemy. Don’t make me kill you. I do not fear the Dark Side. I see through the lies of the Jedi. ”

In Mustafar, Vader’s iconic breathing is heard as the machines finish suiting up Darth Vader. James Earl Jones is back as the voice of Darth Vader.
Vader sits on his throne demanding to know where Obi-Wan has gone. Reva tells him she is looking for him and blames Kenobi for the Grand Inquisitor’s “death.” Vader is not concerned with him and promises Reva the position of Grand Inquisitor if she succeeds in finding Obi-Wan, and death if she fails.
With the same look as Part Two, Leia’s green cloak top and braided hair is a nod to her look on Endor in The Return of the Jedi.
Kids and their questions. Leia asks Obi-Wan all about The Force:
- How does it work?
- What does it feel like?
Obi-Wan fixes her droid LOLA.
The cargo plane lands on Mapuzo, a mining system, and Obi-Wan and Leia sneak away before the droids spot them. They also avoid Stormtroopers as they find their way around.
Obi-Wan feels a disturbance in the Force. He looks off into the distance of the desert and sees Anakin. It’s only a hallucination, but it’s a warning that something isn’t right.
Reva returns to Mustafar and tells the other Inquisitors she knows where Obi-Wan is hiding. The Fifth Brother uses the Force. She tells him Vader spoke to her personally and they need to send out the probe droids to find Kenobi.

Lost in the desert of Mapuzo, Leia flags down a transport vehicle. She introduces herself as Luma and Ben as Orden. The mole-like creature driver responds that his name is Freck. Freck is voiced by Zack Braff. As the pair climb into the vehicle, Obi-Wan notices the Empire symbol on the tailgate. They stop and pick up some Stormtroopers out looking for a Jedi.

At an Imperial checkpoint, Freck stops and tells the Stormtroopers they might be interested in the wanderers he picked up. A probe droid spots Obi-Wan before he can shoot it. Another transport vehicle arrives with Stormtroopers and an Imperial officer, who turns out to be Haja’s contact in disguise, Tala (played by Indira Varma).
She takes them to a droid maintenance shop where NED-B is working. Leia introduces him to her droid, L0-LA59 aka LOLA. NED-B doesn’t communicate, it only operates commands. The name is possibly a nerd nod to the NeDB, a lightweight database written entirely in Javascript, and that implements MongoDB API, which can’t support transactions.
Tala tells Obi-Wan there are safe houses all over the galaxy and that he is not the first Jedi to come through here. They lead to Jabiim where the Jedi are given new identities. Jabiim was first seen in “Republic 55,” a Star Wars Republic comic. Tala is possibly a nod to Tala-Reh from the Star Wars The Old Republic game.
Obi-Wan notices a phrase on the wall, “Only when the eyes are closed can you truly see.” Quinlan, Jedi master and friend of Kenobi’s who first appeared in The Phantom Menace, is the originator of this quote.

As they are getting ready to enter the escape tunnel, Obi-Wan senses something the Force, much stronger than before. He sees Darth Vader at the spaceport looking for Kenobi.
Vader uses the Force Choke on a father and then uses the Force to break the neck of his son to try to draw Kenobi out, which works. Obi-Wan asks Tala to take Leia to Alderaan while he leads Vader away.

Obi-Wan runs toward an abandoned area, where Vader is waiting for him. Vader ignites his saber. “You cannot run Obi-Wan.” Kenobi ignites his lightsaber. Kenobi asks him, “What have you become?”
“I am what you have made me,” Vader responds.
In an attempt to lead Vader as far away from Leia as possible, Kenobi continues to run. Reva is also looking for him and enters the droid maintenance bay. Tala goes back to help Kenobi and sends Leia ahead to the pilot.
