    It’s not awful, but doubtful I’d watch it again.

    They're trying the spunky Leah angle. Should've casted an older child actress but whatever so far.

    The Grand Inquisitior...

    ...shows up in previous Star Wars cartoons that occur after the events of Obi-Wan, so either he's not dead or there is a major continuity problem that going to make a few hard-core fanboys/girls lose their **** with rage.

    Also, it seems weird they'd hire a big-ish actor to play the role (Rupert Friend), bury him in so much makeup that you can't see him (so he doesnt work as a "expensive vanity cameo"), and then killing him off in the second episode.

    either he’s not dead or that grand inquisitor look isn’t dependent on the actual sith and is just a title

    They are straight up copying the plot of Video game Fallen Order

    brother you play next-gen Jedi Fallen Order on the OLED?
    if you did and finished the game, i'm getting the feeling it's copying the same plot

    I don't know anything about any of those cartoons, but that was a horrible way to go with the multi-million dollar franchise.

    Gran Inquisitior isn't dead, in Rebels (which takes place after Kenobi) his biology explains why he'd survive what happened in this last episode.

    The grand inquisitor said she's one of the strongest of them, but has the least social or inherited standing (race and upbringing, which means a lot to them).

    But yea, hate the character atm and think she's not well-written or acted out so far.

    Disney know damn well if Reva was an all american blue eyed white boy overacting a completely unknown shoe horned in character that starts taking over and were supposed to believe knows so much and has so much personal beef with these legacy characters and predictably gong to challenge the most bad ass villain ever effectively weakening those legacy characters in the process- sure! SW fans would just love that! Who wouldn't want to see Zack Efron beating Vader up until he apologizes for the younglings while Kenobi cowers in the corner because he doesn't know how to fight or use the force anymore. As long as that's not done by a black girl! Amiright? That's Katleen Kennedys SW's creating division. She got blow back for pushing her "Star Wars is Female" agenda too hard on us so she handed everyone race cards to cover it up.

    Those idiots trolling the actress w/ racist messages could just as easily be Star Trek fans doing it posing as SW fans. Even if they're real racist fans, they are few, but where were they to complain about Lando and Vader being voiced by JEJ? Where were they when SLJ was cast as Mace Windu, a jedi master that could rival Yoda as most powerful? Where were racist SW fans then, Disney?
    It's wrong to take things out on the actors. It should never be on the actor and always on the writing. Jake Lloyd, Hayden Christiansen, and Jar Jar actor all got relentlessly harassed too. That's stupid and unnecessary. Critique the performance and leave it at that.

    They should have never harassed JarJar Binks
    Actress should never been harassed. Kathleen Kennedy has messed up all the minority characters. Finn should have hooked up with Rey but they made him some pointless character along with Rose Tico.

    The game is on Xbox game pass . You can use the force and combos with light sabers.
    The whole third sister story line was in the game and the ending is looking the exact same .
    I’m pretty sure these newbs here have played fallen order , they watch that PlayStation 2 looking series clone wars on disney plus

    I thought it was enjoyable...much more than Boba Fett. That being said, I'm still waiting for Kathleen Kennedy to show everyone she's Rudy Gay to Kevin Feige's Kevin Durant.

    They wanted Reva to be like Grace Jones
    But she ain’t Grace Jones
