#and then reva

We finished the Obi-Wan Kenobi Series

There were a lot of things I was/am endlessly frustrated over

But there are also many bits and choices that were made that I have an appreciation for too.

birds of a feather

Jedi Padawans have the classic sitcom bag-of-flour baby assignment to ensure they're prepared to look after young ones in emergency situations

this assessment is not one of the many canceled or postponed during the war

which means that when Ahsoka is abruptly deployed dirtside along with her Master, Grandmaster, and the 501st, she had to scramble to find an appropriate babysitter for her sack of flour

desperate, she tossed it to Commander Cody, who was staying aboard the Negotiator to oversee the campaign, with only a frantic list of the required steps to take care of it while she was gone

when she returns several days later, Cody has painted the sack 212th gold and constructed a sling to carry it around on his front while he keeps his hands free for work

judging by the rank pins attached to the front, the sack of flour is now a lieutenant

once Obi-Wan's heart eyes abate enough, though, it becomes clear to him that Cody and the 212th troopers have not understood that the sack of flour is not, in fact, a literal Jedi tubie

and none of the Jedi or their siblings in the 501st have the heart to correct them, so they let them keep the thing, stomping on the feet of anyone who tries to ask too many questions about their new mascot

once the war ends, Obi-Wan discreetly replaces the sack with a Jedi chrecheling in the middle of the night, having resigned himself to raising another too-young-Padawan

Reva, for her part, is all to happy to gleefully coat herself in flour for the occasion

Is Luke Skywalker the litmus test for force users? Vader was redeemed when Luke asked him nicely. Reva not killing Luke was lowkey her redemption. Ben was only considered fallen after he attacked Luke’s students. Luke is the grocery cart of the galaxy

so true!! below are some real screenshots from star wars (not comics) (real)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

The key to surviving being stabbed with a lightsaber is to be too pissed off to die.

That's why Qui-Gon Jinn croaked. Dude was too damn chill.

Cody: *poking Obi-Wan in the cheek till he wakes up* Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan: *sleepy and confused* What?

Cody: Why is your child in bed with us?

Obi-Wan: *peeks over Cody’s back to see Anakin spooning Cody, and even further back, Reva starfished with one leg thrown over Anakin’s side* Children. They’re both here.

Cody: *growly because being the little spoon gives him cooties* why are they here?

Obi-Wan: Anakin gets cold. Reva is a pack creature.

Cody: I hate this.

Obi-Wan: *cuddles back into Cody’s neck and starting to fall asleep again* It’s okay, it means they trust you.

Cody: …how dare you make me feel this emotion. I’ll kill everyone for this.

Obi-Wan: Okay. Love you.

I will defend Reva until I die. She was such a brilliant antagonist to bring to the Kenobi series.

The Inquisitors have always been known as Force-sensitive beings turned to the dark side. Some of them have been hinted as Jedi before they turned. But to have a youngling who survived Order 66 become an Inquisitor for the sole reason to take revenge on Vader? It’s so much more personal. She deserves a whole series about how she got there.

I’ve seen a lot of people laugh at her for daring to fight Vader, and it baffles me how the parallel from the flashback scene in that very episode went right over their heads. She fights because she’s angry. Because she cannot see past her pain. She wants revenge. That’s exactly who Anakin was back then. That’s who he was when he first fought Dooku and lost an arm.

Reva is a shadow of Anakin’s past following him around. That’s why he took the time to fight her properly. He could’ve discarded her, but he needed to teach her a lesson. And he needed to cut that link to his past.

There are so many parallels, but she got discarded by the fandom because she’s a powerful Black woman who took too much place in a show the fanboys wanted to be only about Kenobi and Vader. And it pisses me off to no end because Moses Ingram did an incredible job and Reva is one of my favourite antagonists in this entire universe.

Jedi Knight Reva as Temple Guard for @persephoneofhades ♥

[calkestis]

“We thought he was there to help us. I tried to help them but I couldn’t. I was too weak. When he left, I played dead. Hid with the bodies. Felt them go cold. They were the only family I knew, and he slaughtered them.”

OBI WAN KENOBI (2022), PART V 

[short-wooloo]

The Dawn of the Rebellion visual guide has confirmed Reva's official age

She is 22 years old at the time of the Kenobi miniseries (set in 9 bby), therefore she was 12 at the time of Revenge of the Sith (19 bby), so she was born in 31 bby, just a year after Phantom Menace

Guys,

When Reva chose to let go of her grief and hate, when she rejected the dark side, she was the same age as Anakin when he became Vader

[snarkspawn]

You’re not serving him, are you? You’re hunting him

[nateofgreat]

Luke Skywalker: I did it, I, the last Jedi, defeated Darth Vader!

Ahsoka Tano: Way to go! I knew nothing could go wrong in me ditching the Rebellion right after I found out Darth Vader was my old master Anakin.

Luke Skywalker: ... Who’re you?

Cal Kestis: Man, I knew that Darth Vader guy was trouble after my first encounter with him. That’s why I laid low the whole time.

Luke Skywalker: ... What?

Quinlan Vos: Yo don’t worry! I’m a full-fledged Jedi Knight and I just said, “pfft, screw that, way above my pay grade!”

Luke Skywalker: You’re a Jedi Knight!?

Cere Junda: Me too actually.

Luke Skywalker: Okay are there any other Jedi who’d like to show themselves?

Ezra Bridger: Don’t look at me! I got carried off by the space whales I summoned to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn!

Reva: After I decided not to kill you and Obi-Wan spared me, convincing me to abandon the dark side... I decided to leave the rest of the galaxy to its fate.

Luke Skywalker: ...

Gungi: *Wookie sound*

Where do you stand on "in AUs where O66 doesn't happen, IDK Palpatine choked on a bagel or something, Reva becomes Obi-Wan’s second padawan" as a concept?

(Well, number 2.5. Ahsoka was half his.)

i've never heard of this but I love it already. in the circumstances of MY fix-it/no o66 au I think Obi-Wan needs that W
