Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Tofali]

Obi-Wan knew Anakin new name as Lord Vader but he thought he left him to burn and die. He didn't know Palpatine came to rescue his little frankenstein monster.

Also, Reva is such a lame villain.

To be fair she was never really seen as a villain. Everyone called the redemption angle the second they saw her LOL. We know Kenobi and Vader will stalemate and the rest of the Inquisitors are lame and we are all just waiting around for Reva to switch sides.

All this adds up to a lack of tension.

that whole Leia chase scenes in Alderaan and Daiyu were cringefest. It shouldn't have taken them that long to capture her. It could have been directed better if they wanted to showcase her speed and resourcefulness by just not showing the viewers her legs or her running lol!

I didn't get the feeling they were trying to tell us that she was particularly fast or resourceful.

Has no one seriously ever tried to catch a kid with out hurting them or causing them to be hurt? That's what that scene was.

I'd rather think that it was directed badly than thinking that those goons were so incompetent that they couldn't catch a child whose 4 strides equals one of theirs. If I start thinking about that then the fault is with the writing because the pattern is the same with Reva too - where every Inquisitor was incompetent except for her.

I was under the assumption she was unknowingly using the Force to out maneuver them and make them into bumbling idiots. I mean it clearly shows that Leia is adept at reading people because of her Force sensitivity.

Again, it's pretty hard to catch a kid who doesn't actually want to be caught if you don't want to hurt them or cause them to hurt themselves.

I don't think that can be stressed enough.

So after finally gotten to see it, I have to say it's better than the sequels and prequels though that's a low bar to clear, I know. Leia outrunning every adult around her was kind of ridiculous. It had it's flaws, as most things Star Wars does but I would say no more so than the first movie. The second episode was better as it had a darker, more Rogue One feel to it. You really got to see the class system in Star Wars and what a problem crime is there. Between that and the panhandling clone trooper, it really does give you the impression that you wouldn't want to live in the Star Wars universe. I never thought I'd get to see a drug dealer in a Disney show. Or references to human trafficking. They really are letting them go dark when they need to. Though I'm surprised there's any scenery left after that Rena chewed it all.

Let us agree to disagree then

McGregor is good, Reva is a bad villain and Leia is annoying.
At least we know how Leia knows Obi-Wan, and why he is their only hope.

Revas character would've been received better if she wasn't angry the entire time she's on screen. They're obviously going for a redemption later on so it'll be interesting to see how the fandom reacts to that. I gotta say though I was not expecting near Skyler White levels of hate for this character but yet here we are.

Although to be fair SW fans have always been pretty vocal about things they don't like so I should've expected it.

Loved the first two episodes, off to a great start. Don't like Reva for most of the reasons people have already mentioned. I like that young Leia's playing a part in this, but it kind of retroactively makes the "Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire." message she'll send much later in life a somewhat frigid way of addressing him. And yeah, her chase scenes were brutal.

Think about it this way. The message is actually two parts. The first is the formal summons, from her father the Senator to General Kenobi. Formality. The second, more impactful, is the personal appeal. "Help me Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."

If she'd said or will say that (first, chronologically) in this series, it would help resolve that minor quibble for me by making it a retro-callback.

While I can see them giving Reva a redemption, I’m actually thinking her job might be merely to be the “bloodhound” Starter Villain of the Inquisitors acting as a catalyst and lower ranking villain before Vader himself gets involved… and I think there might be a bit too much faith in LFL being egalitarian with its moody villains. Don’t get me wrong - a part of me hopes they don’t treat a black female villain more ruthlessly than one played by Adam Driver… but I’m not holding my breath for it.

She’s probably a dead woman walking either way.

How does Reva last a week in a military that is as big on punishing insubordination as the Empire?
