What You Need To Know:
PART IV is one of the two best of the six Season One episodes of OBI-WAN KENOBI. It has an exhilarating, stirring, suspense-filled rescue plot, with wonderful moments of narrow escapes, heroism, sacrifice, and courage. For the first time ever in a STAR WARS property, there’s an appeal to God instead of “The Force.” However, PART IV of OBI-WAN KENOBI does have scenes of a child, Princess Leia, in jeopardy. Also, the title character uses the mystical “Force” in one scene. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for younger children.

The plan goes well at first, but complications ensue.
PART IV has an exhilarating, stirring rescue plot. There are wonderful moments of narrow escapes, heroism, sacrifice, and courage. All the performances are spot on. The episode has a morally uplifting, conservative worldview about a group of freedom fighters fighting back against an evil, tyrannical empire trying to rule the galaxy. Also, for the first time ever in a STAR WARS property, there’s an appeal to God instead of “The Force.” However, the episode does have scenes of a child, Princess Leia, in jeopardy. For example, [Spoilers Follow] Inquisitor Reva tries to entice Leia to tell her about the people in the previous episode who helped her and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then, when Leia refuses, Reva decides to force Leia to talk, but Tala creates a diversion that makes Reva leave the room and allows Obi-Wan to rescue Leia while dispatching the two stormtroopers guarding her. The following escape attempt endangers Leia, Obi-Wan and Tala. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for younger children.
