Yeah Obi Wan got washed by Dooku, but even Sidious wouldn't have been quick to run the Dooku fade either, so that oughta tell you what you need to know about Dooku.

Obi Wan isn't a weak jedi by any means though let's not act like he's fukking Jeremy Lin or Kirk Cousins status now he's definitely elite if not damn near close to it.
Yeah don't get me wrong! Obi-wan is my favorite Star Wars character! But whole time I was thinking how are they going to write their way out of him facing Darth Vader and surviving. The answer? He washes him and walks off leaving him gasping for air. Lol

What would you want to see in a season 2 if they made one?

What I believe the end of Solo was hinting towards: Obi Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul aka the rematch. I hope they do make it honestly, Darth Maul in the comics and books and movie always gave Obi Wan a way better fight than Vader did.

If they make a season(not sure they should)

It probably should be something to do with the Old Jedi Temples and the Path.

Bring in that Dr Aphra chick as a tomb Raider kind of story. Since we know he doesn’t have any effect on the Empire going forward, they probably should make this something about protecting force sensitive children going forward. A way to hide them.

Some of this makes so much sense. This script was butchered from the original movie version of Obi-Wan to fill out a series. And it definitely answered some of my plot hole questions. But hey, some of yall think this was the greatest thing ever 🥴


In an exclusive interview with The Direct's Nathan Johnson, Obi-Wan Kenobi writer Stuart Beattie discussed the original plans for Reva's character arc in the draft for his Obi-Wan Kenobi film.

When asked if Reva was in the early drafts of the movie script, Beattie said "She was my creation... I created Reva all the way through." He continued by discussing Reva's view on the Jedi as villains and how the character originally had no knowledge of Anakin being Darth Vader:

"Yeah, except the only little difference in mine was she didn't know Darth Vader was Anakin. Cause I was like, 'How'd she know that?' All she saw was Anakin as Anakin because he hadn't changed in the suit yet, right? So Anakin killed her friends, put the scar on her, almost killed her, left her for dead, basically. So, in her mind, the Jedi Council were the biggest villains in the galaxy. She believed the lies that they were plotting a coup to overtake and get power and all that, but they were stopped by the Clones. So she believed that's why she's hunting Jedi, because she believed the Jedi are the worst, basically."

Beattie went on to talk about Reva's original fate, with the story ending with her dying at the hands of Vader in order to save Obi-Wan:

"Because I figured, 'How would she know that this thing in a mechanical suit that everyone calls Darth Vader is the guy who killed her, or tried to kill her?' So, it was Obi-Wan kind of letting her in on that secret and that revelation that makes her kind of go, 'Oh my god, I've been wrong this whole time.' And so she goes and basically saved Kenobi by sacrificing herself, telling Vader, 'I killed Kenobi.' And then Vader killed her, [with her] knowing that Vader would kill her. So, that kind of completed her arc. So just a little bit different that she was, yeah, absolutely, the Inquisitor hunting Kenobi all the way through and driven by her own personal demons."

Beattie also mentioned that while he thought the Third Sister had a vital role to play in the story, he "felt she had to die:"

"Yeah, killed by Vader at the end of it. Yeah, I wanted this story, I wanted her story to end. I wanted Reva to play her part in the Kenobi-Vader story, which was, essentially, at the end, she was the one that allowed Vader, basically told Vader to stop hunting Kenobi. You know, she ended the obsession Vader had with Kenobi. She claimed it was over, it's done. So that was, that was her role to play. And she'd done so many terrible things, I felt she had to die [laughs]. You can only redeem so much."

The writer also confirmed that the original plans for Obi-Wan Kenobi didn't include the other Inquisitors, just Reva:

"So no other plans to include any other Inquisitors... I knew I wanted Darth Vader, obviously, as the big overall villain in this story, and I see him as an antagonist who was going to be more one-on-one with Obi-Wan throughout the show. So Reva really was the result of that, I knew I needed that character."

Beattie continued by describing how exploring the fallout of Order 66 helped to inform Reva's character and "take her to a place of understanding:"

"And, of course, there are so many great characters from The Purge, the Great Purge of the Temple and everything, it just was like, 'Okay, let's see what she was doing at the Purge. What if she saw everything that went down? What if... Anakin/Vader killed her, left her for dead and sent her on this path? So all that kind of stuff just kind of made sense and allowed me to create a very confused, conflicted, blinded character filled with hate and rage and all the stuff that makes people want to be Sith and Sith Acolytes. And take her to a place of understanding. Understanding truth, understanding who Obi-Wan is, who Vader really is, and what her path is in the galaxy."

The Obi-Wan Kenobi writer also touched on the struggle of bringing stakes to a prequel project involving Darth Vader and Obi-Wan, and how Reva could allow for McGregor's character to have "someone to defeat or someone to save:"

"... We were always faced with the fact that Obi-Wan could never kill Darth Vader. So he needed to defeat someone. And so Reva was my attempt to give him someone to defeat or someone to save, because he's not going to save Darth. The Darth Vader storyline is going to end in a downer, so I wanted to save someone, and that's why I created Reva."

Some fans have drawn the comparison between the Third Sister with one of her fellow Inquisitors, Second Sister, from Jedi: Fallen Order, who has a similar backstory and arc to Reva.

When asked about Reva's potential connection to Trilla Suduri, Beattie revealed that the Third Sister was created before the video game was even released:

"So I hadn't played Fallen Order. I wrote this initially in 2017, so that was before I played Fallen Order. I then played Fallen Order and was like, 'Oh, wow, this is Reva!' No, look, it's just coincidence. I wanted to create a new character because I didn't want to be bound by any canon with any of the others that have already been discussed. And I wanted freedom to take her where I wanted to take her. So that's why I created her, for this story. And that's the other thing too, we're already using so many characters in established canon with Obi, Darth, Owen, Beru... So I was looking to create someone new. I even had Cody in mind. You know, so I was looking to create someone new."

Now that it has been revealed that Reva was originally going to sacrifice herself for Obi-Wan and be killed by Darth Vader, the change to keep her alive could possibly be hinting that there will be a Season 2.

Many fans expected her to be killed at the hands of Vader or the Grand Inquisitor in the show's final episode. But since she didn't even have another interaction with either character and was instead let go by Obi-Wan, it is clear that she has more to her story.

If there is a Season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Reva will likely be along for the ride. She has now built a relationship with Obi-Wan and would probably come to his aid if he needed help, providing an opportunity for her to prove herself to him.

The fact that Beattie also briefly mentions that Commander Cody was in consideration potentially adds credence to previous rumors that the Clone trooper was set to appear in the show. Perhaps these thoughts will be taken into consideration if Lucasfilm decides to bring the show back for a second round.

For now, Obi-Wan Kenobi is streaming now on Disney+.

Its like Disney doesn't have rights to the Star Wars movie. They barely used it. I mentioned this when the first trailer dropped, the score is most of the charm of this series. There are fan edits of this final Obi Wan fight that shyt on the original by simply using the original scor. Hell there fan edits of New Hope's Vader/obi wan's fight that shyt on the original.

Lucasart is no longer trying and I don't blame them....they don't have to. The brand prints money, even when ppl hate the final product.

Agreed and merchandise has a big part to play in why they can do that. when it comes to these Big Legacy IPs star wars is making a killing off the OT merch to this day even when the ST toys were sitting for yrs.
