Reva's entire arc was made disposable though. Such a forced, disneyfied character plot. Which was disappointing after episode 5 when she finally got interesting. "You get to choose who you want to be now" ...eyeroll... Stop Disney, just stop.
Should've cut out the Reva nonsense and had it as episodes 1, 3 and 6 with strictly Obi Wan/Vader stuff.
Lucas wasn't perfect but he wouldn't have had that garbage in any live action series.

I loved the Vader Obi-Wan stuff, its weird because I flash back to a lot of Clone Wars stuff. When Vader buried Obi, I flashed back to the episode when Ashoka and Bariss get buried under a bunch of rocks, and Anakin is told to let her go and he refuses to. Again the end dialogue between Obi and Leia mirrors the Phantom Menace dialogue between Anakin and his mother.
Also the conversation between the Grand Inquisitor and Vader, where the Inquisitor made the point that the refugees were the mission, and Vader ignored him to gain his revenge on Obi, was very much like Anakin's obsession with Dooku in TCW series.
But in the end I didn't mind the Reva stuff to much and in the end, while Obi knew that he couldn't redeem Vader. That he had a bit of a hand redeeming her.
