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.

This was my biggest problem with it as well. Made no sense at all.

Just like Vader leaving her alive made no sense at all. And of course Kenobi leaving Vader alive made no sense at all, except for the fact that he couldn't be killed without ruining the continuity of the show. But killing her off would have been fine. Would have made more sense if another inquisitor found the hologram and went to Tatooine, and Kenobi had greased him just as he was about to kill Luke.

Oh well. It had some stinky plot holes, but still I liked it.
