Yeah, Vader has spent ten years wanting revenge on Obi-Wan and then he finds him and the dude puts up less of a fight than some random Jedi have. It makes sense to me

I wish they gave more development to Reva, I want to understand her character. If it's really just wanting to get Obi Wan for Vader so she can be Grand Inquisitor, then it feels uninteresting especially when Vader can just go after Obi Wan himself.

I do feel there's more to her, maybe they're waiting on that information so it'll be an interesting reveal.

I think there's more coming.

There's no narrative reason for the Order 66 intro so far. That's definitely going to tie to Reva.

I also wasn't sure if she recognized a name in that smuggling operation. There's not really any reason for her to care about Leia at this point.

First of all, where have I said I hate the show? I just don't like how it fucks the continuity up.

If I am interpreting your commentary well, you're trying to say I dislike the show because of Moses Ingram in a thinly veiled attempt to accuse me of being a racist. Sorry to disappoint you but no, I have problem at all with her character and not once I have even mentioned her in this thread.
He's just a race bater, ignore him and move on. That's his schtick.

Seems like she trying to be Grand Inquisitor to be closer to Vader to try to take out Vader in some childhood revenge plot.

While I do not like them messing with continuity I can get over it if it's done well. However this is just lazy.

Reva finds out Kenobi had a connection to Leia through kept records? Wtf? The entire point of splitting them up and hiding them was for them to be kept secret and away from Vader. They never took records of their birth. Let alone that Kenobi has some kind of connection to the twins. That would defeat the entire purpose of keeping both of the children's very existence away from Vader or anyone. Why does he have a record of having a connection to Leia but not Luke then? Why is there a recorded connection at all? None of it makes any sense.

Like huh.....?

The connection is between Bail and Obi-Wan. The plan was to kidnap Bail's daughter hoping that he'd go to Obi-Wan for help. Leia being important is just a coincidence.

Obi Wan in particular was bad about his own attachments in TCW, which played a part in him turning a blind eye to Anakin's attachments. The way the current Canon is, his emphasis on letting go of attachments is more of what he took away from his greatest failure than the way he lived in the height of the Jedi.

Beyond attachment, it's the simple moral principle/Jedi code as outlined in the first episode. It would be difficult for Obi Wan to reject a direct call for help, and there was a chance Bail had a way to contact him. Don't take this as the only plan to find Obi Wan. This is just the shot in the dark that happened to work after 10 years of trying.

If Obi Wan didn't show up, they probably would have killed or trained Leia in the dark side and tried the next idea on the list.

Is Leia going to meet Vader in this series? Its clear in ANH that Senator Organa and Darth Vader knew each other, presumably from their time in the Senate. They had some sort of a professional relationship with each other.

Bail was an important ally of Padme in the Senate, and he worked with Obi Wan for at least one operation depicted in the Clone Wars.

As stated, this was after 10 years of chasing other leads. If it sounds like a stretch, that's because it literally is a stretch. Bail was 10 years down a list of people that knew Obi Wan before he disappeared.

Edit: It's also worth saying that Bail has power and connections in his own right. He isn't some random in the slums.

Majority of Inquisitors were former Jedi so of course they'd know about the order's hypocrisy.

Like someone else said, I think going after Bail was like a last ditch attempt after 10 years. Maybe someone saw him saving Yoda at the Senate building. The Clones definitely saw him run away from the Jedi Temple.

- Being trained to have attachments doesn't mean they don't. Besides there are several examples of Jedi being lured out by forcing them to do the right thing. Several times in this show in fact.

- Leia says in A New Hope that her father and Obi-Wan served in the wars together. It would be in the records Reva was looking at. It doesn't need to be more than that because Reva quite simply got lucky by kidnapping one of two people in the entire galaxy he'd come out of exile for.

- If she kidnapped Jar Jar who is contacting Obi-Wan?

The other inquisitors thought it was a bad idea as well. It's solely Reva who did it. Everyone else did think it was a stretch.

Star Wars canon has been royally fucked for ages.

Yeah, I feel like the people who are bothered by this grew up with the prequels and didn't live through them as teens / young adults:

Kenobi is different and there are moments so far. Excited to see how the series ends and making the mental gymnastics to place it in star wars content (movies, shows, games, comics)

However, Kinda wondering how filoni and favreau wouldve told this part of the kenobi's story. Like dave filoni, john favreau, ewan mcgregor, hayden christensen focused on telling the best kenobi series starwars story... hmm.

Im thinking at the very least we wouldve had Reva introduced with her inquisitor helmet on. Wouldve been cool to see live action full inquisitor armor. Maybe even have all the inquisitors together for a meeting while focusing on the ones in this kenobi series. Like the 2nd sister and ninth sister should be around...

Given that Filoni is responsible for half the shit people hated in TLJ and TRoS I'm sure fans would've flipped out twice as much and blamed mean ladies for it.

1.) Actually bridging the "prequels" with Star Wars is impossible
2.) whatever

It either looks like the real McCoy, or it doesn't. Ewan was never really Alec, etc. Alec really played it like a traditional Knight, because that's actually what he brought to the table as an actor. Ewan is just much more older brother, and he doesn't exactly have the face for it. Like, Keira Knightly is not Natalie Portman, you know? She never will be. A movie with Keira playing Natalie would be just that. Not really Natalie. So, Ewan is never really gonna be able to do Obi Wan. It's not like playing Romeo.

Which is why I am all for the digital fakes

Obi-Wan will visit Yoda on Dagobah where he will reconnect with the Force

Or maybe just communicate with him and Qui-Gon via the Force

But anyway hell get his groove back and have a rematch where he smacks the shit out of Vader again.

when I left you I was but the learner

Vader was still learning the ways of the dark side and not fully embracing them so he got his ass kicked once again

now I am the master

and now hes mastered it, to the point where he secretly is trying to overthrow his master

Them meeting like this actually makes sense when you consider the hes more machine now than man line in ANH. How would he know Vader is a cyborg?
