Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

[Flamestrike]

This. We just saw two folks severely wounded in the abdomen get cybernetic repairs in Book of Boba Fett. I think abdomen wounds and lopped-off limbs are like common injuries in the GFFA.

Jedi: What happened to the Inquisitor?

Padawan: He's dead. I cut him in half with a lightsaber, and then severed three of his limbs, before tossing him down a bottomless shaft on the Death Star, where he was finally swallowed by a Sarlacc...

Jedi: You have much to learn my young Padawan...

I think the Reva actress was fine, the writing might need improvement though.

She is playing a character who is so unpleasant even her evil colleagues hate her. It's a bit of a bum wrap for an actor!

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Huh, I wouldn't have called out the Grand Inquisitor as a better example. He came across as "grumpy middle management" to me, nowhere near the screen presence he had in Rebels.

He is played by Rupert Friend, who is a very experienced actor.

 

[Nikosandros]

hehe honestly Sith survive cuts to the abdomen so often I'm survived it hasn't just been made a sith power yet.

Anakin - Gets his legs cut off and lives.
Maul - Gets his lower half cut off and lives.

In context, the Inquisitor just get a stab through the gut is practically a flesh wound!

'Tis but a scratch.

I'm gonna have to hard disagree with you there. I find her an absolute delight.



I'm always surprised how often I need to explain this to Star Wars fans: The Force is "with" her! "May the Force Be With You" is not an empty platitude in Star Wars.

When the force is with you, you get all the good luck, and your opponents get all the bad luck. Leia is a perfect example. She almost never misses her target when she fires a blaster, and Storm Troopers (who, in spite of what we seem to be shown, are supposed to be excellent shots) ALWAYS MISS. It's not that Storm Troopers SUCK, it's that we're constantly watching characters who the Force is WITH.

Those guys chasing her stumble over trees because the force is with HER, not THEM.



THIS, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

In the old SWSE rules heroes and important villains get force points. Mooks don't.

I thought young Leia looked closer to 8 than 10 but she can grow up with the role over next 2-4 years and they can always advance the clock in universe.

She wasn't great but she's 9 years old she did fine lol. Her dialogue to her cousin wasn't a kid talking though. I liked her.

Reva is unpleasant but she's a villain so it's fine. She's not a cool villain like Vader or Thrawn.

The others kept reminding herus that she is impulsive, reckless, obsessed with Obi-wan and willing to ignore chain of command - all the classic traits of Star Wars anti-heroes/memorable villains, but in her case betrayed by one note characterisation

Yeah I don't really care about Reva sooner she falls on a lightsaber the better.

She's just to intense/one dimensional in a vwa ha ha cheese all way.

Chaotic stupid in live action.

They could've done with more "show don't tell" in her relationship with the other inquisitors, but I'd hardly call her stupid. The inquisitors have given up on Kenobi after failing to find him for ten years, and she drew him out in a couple of days - and by using the methods espoused by the Grand Inquisitor too.

I think the clone wars cartoon redeemed the prequels

I don't think the prequels were ever in need of any redemption...

Those kids would still be too young to be that Jedi or Reva. They both look in their 20s and those kids would still be teens, if any survived. Remember that this is 10 years after Order 66.

and ten year old Leia looks like she's five.

Casting hasn't quite figured out age/sizing for child actors...
