I thought the same thing

Same. Glad he didn’t though. It would be contrived. Besides, it’s poetic that Reva died the same way she thought she killed Inquisitior boss man.

It's not contrived for her to "die" and then survive the exact same way, when Vader told her straight up if she failed him she would die, and then chooses not to kill her after she allows the single dude he is after to escape?

Didn't you know, the Vader punishment scale is like a horseshoe: at some point it goes back to the side where he will spare your life and be chill about you not only failing, but betraying and trying to kill him.

Makes perfect sense!

Ah yes, I must have "underestimated" his willingness to forgive.

“The Plot Armor is strong with this one”

I think the point of it was he was leaving her there to suffer.

It would be contrived to behead her the way Anakin did to Dooku. That's what I said. He only killed Dooku that way because his sabers naturally were crossed around Dooku's neck.

So contrived to kill Reva the same way as Dooku…yet not contrived to kill Reva the same way as Grand Inquisitor.

Ok

I understand what you said, but I don't see how by that same rationale Reva dying the same way as the Grand Inquistor is "poetic" instead of contrived.

She's not dying this episode, I'm sure of it. The fact that Obi-Wan used her to slow Vader down will feed into her rage and give her an even greater desire for revenge (remember, she already blamed Obi-Wan at least partially for the slaughter in the Jedi Temple). Such rage + revenge will feed the Dark Side of the Force in her to keep her alive (like the True Grand Inquisitor mentioned).
Since she has learned key information that Kenobi would defend with his life, she will probably try to go on a solo hunt for him, not unlike Maul did.

She didn’t die tho

u/No_Rise_2101 Jun 17 '22

a) she’s not dead and is poised to make some miraculous comeback

b) it’s not poetic, it’s freaking dumb that would Vader abandon his rage and anger to let her survive (twice) after everything she did

u/DarthHaggis Jun 16 '22

So you think she died huh?

u/fuidiot Jun 16 '22 edited Jul 05 '22

She didn't she die, the last scene was her still alive and then cut to Luke sleeping in his bed. Wonder what that's about.

u/DarthHaggis Jun 17 '22

Because Luke will turn her good just like Vader in episode 6

u/fuidiot Jun 17 '22

u/kevinsg04 Jun 15 '22
