**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

[Prime Clone]

Rewatched Episode 5. I initially couldn't put my finger on why Anakin felt off for the Order 66 flashback where he approaches young Reva in the Temple but this time it hit me--they forgot to give him his iconic ROTS facial scar!

One Disney retcon I can get behind is that he never slipped in the bathtub!

I guess it's supposed to be how Reva remembered him but still. Why not just make the scene match?

Here we go. Subscribers have almost doubled since the end of 2020 (Mando S2 finale).

Yup, and Disney's share prices have halved in the same amount of time.

Yup, and Disney's share prices have halved in the same amount of time.

Probably less to do with Disney+ though and more to do with how the pandemic affected the business. I'm sure they lost a ton of revenue from park closures around the world.

Watched Eps 3 and 4 again. Something that I noticed this time is that the T-47 that picks up Kenobi, Tala, and Leia has a different cockpit configuration than the ones on Hoth. Instead of a single canopy that opens front to back the pilot's canopy stays closed while two additional canopies open horizontally to let in additional passengers.

Hopefully you didn't also notice my hands in-shot holding up those toy snowspeeders.

As if some kitchen droid would be programmed to know about has-been bounty hunters. He should have answered "The new sous-chef?"

I wonder if Owen ever thought of you know…

renaming Luke SKYWALKER!

It's ''problematic'' as they say.

How about Jake?

Yep. The same Reva.

The show was very clear that despite being driven to kill Vader through any means necessary, when push comes to shove she isn't always able to follow through if something triggers her childhood PTSD. Obviously she had no trouble staying in character when an angry Karen started mouthing off to her in public but she couldn't kill Luke and she was obviously all talk with Leia as well.

"Okay kid I'm gonna torture you now so you better talk! I'm pushing the button now...!" *Leia still doesn't talk*
"Okay I'm really gonna turn this thing on!" *pauses* "I'm serious! Not bluffing at all! Here it comes!" *Leia still doesn't talk...*
"Son of a...you're bringing this on yourself kid! I'm warning you...! *still won't push the button*

"My lord someone is calling you, she says it's urgent."
"Oh thank God okay I'll be right there." To Leia: "You got so lucky because I was totally about to do it..." lol

You know, you’ve totally convinced me that Reva’s stalling and care for Leia means she’s a great person. All that child murder was just an unfortunate lapse in character. Thanks for educating me.

Plus, if you killed hoards of people ‘not being happy about it’ is a great defence. They should use it in court more. And ‘but an angry white woman triggered her my Lord’ is another good one. Are you a lawyer?

Yep, they chickened out of the one thing that would have been surprising about her arc.

And for a season 2 that can probably only wreck what little good came out of the first.

Yep.
So lets get it straight:

1. She wasn't even redeemed. Not killing one child after being responsible for the deaths of countless others does not redeem you.
2. Vader would not allow her to live with the information that he was Anakin Skywalker, only a select few are privy to this information, everyone else is instantly killed by Vader himself.
3. Obi-wan, and even Owen, would not allow her to live with what she knows about Luke and Lei. In Rebels the moment that Maul even hints that he knows that Obi-Wan is protecting someone he ignites his lightsaber and gets ready to take him out. Reva is not trustworthy enough to have that info.#

There is absolutely no reason for her to still be alive.

Does anyone care for a second season at this point?

How does that character make Disney any money?

I really don't know what they could do with a season 2 at this point that would be a worthwhile addition to Obi-Wan's story, especially if it were to once again prominently feature Reva. The only intrigue for me is if they could actually make her interesting/appealing as a heroine; they certainly failed to do so when she was a villainess. Nothing against the actress, but if we have to see Reva again let her pop up in a random Andor episode rather than feature her in an Obi-Wan season 2.

They had a couple of highlights in this "limited series," if they do S2 (and they will), they will stumble beautifully and make a joke of the entire thing. We all know it's not about quality, its about continuing the content for D+ and more $$$$$$.

Would rather have a season 2 of Boba than Obi-Wan...
