"You have just got to love Emporer Palpatine putting Vader in his place yet again after another loss to Obi-Wan Kenobi aka If your past cannot be overcome... haha #Kenobi #StarWars #ObiWan #LucasFilm #Disney #Cartoon #Comics," one of the fans wrote. "spoilersss Vader and Palpatine talking in #obiwan and all i could thinking about is... your grandchildren are gonna fall in love in a couple of years," a fan wrote.

For some, it was just the sheer amount of surprises. "#Kenobi Spoilers - - - - - - - - - So we got: Damaged mask Vader, we got palpatine, we got qui-gon, we got the final battle that lived up to all the hype, holy shit.

"No one killed Anakin Skywalker, Anakin. What are you gonna do, turn Obi-Wan to the dark side? Also did Obi-Wan, my precious, sweet idiot, seriously just refer to Vader as Darth? That’s like calling palpatine sheev. Is this how people feel when I do that? #ObiWan #Kenobi," a fan said.

Prior to the episode's release, one of the fans predicted a Palpatine appearance. "Alright Obi Wan Kenobi. Surprise me. I think we are about to witness something incredible. Fingers crossed for Qui-Gon. Maybe a sneaky Palpatine makes an appearance. Not sure what to expect tbh outside of the obvious #ObiWan."

Another Jedi makes an appearance 4.) #vader let’s Obiwan escape". "#Kenobi SPOILERS! . . . . Palpatine on #ObiWan VS Mr. Ian McDiarmid after remembering he said he wouldn’t appear on the show. Well played emperor, well played…" a fan exclaimed.
