The character was not great. It nearly killed the show...there was nothing Reva brought to the table that one of the other Inquistors could not have done---Have the show start with the Grand Inquistor in the Jedi Archives, studying Kenobi's history....have him make the connection with Bail Organa and go from there.
Reva's whole motivation is the last episode was shit---I am going to avenge my youngling friends by killing a ****ing child--are you kidding me?
It is pretty clear that Lucasfilm took a look at the characters in this story and realized that they were all already established, and that they had no "representation" in the show...so they scrambled around with rewrites and came up with Reva.
If Reva had died in Chapter 5 like she ****ing should have (apparently getting sliced through by a lightsaber is just a ****ing flesh wound now days)...then I might not be as critical of her story arc....but her reasonings and motivation in Chapter 6 make no sense, and honestly, I wanted Owen to nail her with his blaster like he does when Tusken Raiders come around.
Overall I liked the show, but Reva is right up there with Rose Ticco and those asshats in The Last Jedi--they bring nothing good into the Star Wars universe.
