Let’s not forget what happened when Darth Maul found Obi-Wan on Tatooine. As soon as he realize that Obi-Wan was protecting someone, Obi-Wan ignited his light saber. He didn’t even know

The mistake was giving Reva that much importance. As a secondary villain she would do fine, a competent Jedi hunter and someone who could give Obi-Wan a good fight before he got his mind back in track. As it was, Reva basically shared Obi-Wan's spot as protagonist and she had no business doing that in this series. We wanted Obi-Wan and Darth Vader, not someone we never heard about getting in the middle of this.

i actually like that idea for Reva MUCH better. Makes more sense as to why she goes around killing jedi instead of just because the plot needs her to do.

I think this makes way WAY more sense at least for Reva’s motivations. It still has issues though. The reasoning behind Vader killing Reva is still dubious, though having him kill her makes a lot more sense then him killing her and still magically surviving. At least Kenobi had some part in it instead of her being a narcissist and only sparing Luke because she saw… herself, or whatever that was, but I also agree it wouldn’t make sense for Kenobi to let her go.

I keep hearing all of the plots that were originally created for this show, and they sound so much better than what we got. I really wish we were able to experience Ewan’s return on the big screen in a movie theater with a fully fleshed out story. Sad to think that Solo’s flop led to all of these mediocre tv shows and other media.

"You can only redeem so much", the voice of reason, no wonder LucasFilm did not do that.

"Somehow Reva knows" 21st century writing skills.

Even this very vague description of the original plan for Reva is MILES and MILES better than what we got

This is the fundamental problem with Disney Star Wars: it isn't the characters they have, it's what they choose to do with them. Creation by committee just doesn't work. Reva's function for the series existed OUTSIDE the story's core narrative and so could only fall flat. Her character had potential but was wasted, being shoehorned into a function that did not fit.

"You can only redeem so much. People bring up Vader"

Had no business being introduced in the Kenobi series. Show could've been lot better if they freed her screentime for more Obi Wan and Vader.

Reva’s backstory is compelling and interesting.

after

Ever since Disney plus started I’ve wanted a Quinlan Vos show, I think he’s such an intricate character that you could do so much with. But since I’ve seen Obi Wan, I take it back.

I would have had GREAT respect for Disney if they had portrayed Reva as a very villianous character and then have her STAY that way. Similar to how they used Grand Moff Tarkin or Valin Hess in the Mandalorian. That would have made her far more interesting since the expectation is that she would eventually become good. And, no matter how Obi-Wan tries to reason with her, she refuses to turn away from the darkness and he is forced to kill her.

Reva could have work.

I gotta say I can’t imagine anything being good about this character I have no problem with the actress but I have a problem with the writing not a good character I blame KK. Pretty sure that it was not called the Rava show.

Reva surviving Order 66 doesn’t work because she survived getting stabbed by a lightsaber(twice), not get executed by the clones while playing dead, doesn’t excuse her joining the inquisitors, and if she survived then what’s stopping more younglings from popping up

Reva gives a chance for something interesting: We've yet (in the new canon) to see someone come back from the dark side and struggle with repenting and making amends. Every time someone turns back to the light, they die immediately after lol. Could be an interesting story.

Leave it to KK to turn Obi-Wan into a complete farce in his own show. I understand he needs to struggle because he's in exile, but his complete lack of intelligence, leadership, and competence is insulting to the character.
