I don't think Reva is on a redemption arc. I think she is who she is always been. A child Jedi pissed off and wants to kill all those who killed her friends and fellow Jedi during order 66. She is destroying them from the inside. [Reply]

This isn't the greatest thing ever produced but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
I was super surprised to see Obi-Wan totally sacrifice Reva LOL. He knew she was going to get her ass handed to her on a platter (which was awesome BTW) and he threw her ass to the wolves. That's a pretty substantial movement for his character. I didn't expect that.
Of course she lived which is dumb. But it does set up a nice show down with Obi-Wan. Who has grown into a less idealistic archetypal hero type.
:-) That was the most disrespectful duel in any Star Wars media, ever. Just a complete one sided obliteration. Didn't even dignify using their own lightsaber to fight. [Reply]

Yeah, all other fights that are that one sided, they've bailed. Reva was blinded by her rage, which isn't a terrible story telling choice. [Reply]
The flashbacks were done really well. There's always been a bit of a disconnect for me between Anakin and Vader. First time it's really felt like yes, they are one and the same. [Reply]
Wouldn't be Disney Star Wars without a ridiculous contrivance to move the plot along.
