What is the Inquisitors’ process of hunting down Force sensitive people? When has there ever been a girl with a midichlorian count like Leia’s? Reva can’t tell?
Another thing we would know all about if Jedi were allowed to breed.Does Leia (and Luke) have abnormally high midi counts? Anakin does sure but that doesn’t necessarily means they do.
I always liked the rationale behind the Rule of Two. How do you control a worldview where backstabbing is rampant, you make it so that backstabbing is one of the single most important tenets, but only to be done when the time is right or else you diminish everything. Palpatine worked out how to do away with that by becoming immortal, and spent his life engineering things so that he'd not only live forever, but rule the galaxy. That's partly why I never liked the cunning schemer version of Maul, he always felt to me like just a weapon that Palpatine had curated, not trained to take his Master's position one day.
Vader was great, he felt much more like himself than he did in Rogue One. He still has Anakin's raw fury, but he's getting towards the more tempered rage that he'll have by the OT. It sounded like Hayden did line readings which James Earl Jones then used when he did his own take, there's a lot of Anakin in Vader's voice, you can picture Hayden saying the lines without the mask.
I guess a spinoff would let them NOT kill her off in the season finale while also explaining why she's not in Rebels.
Unless her series is a prequel, like Andor.
Plus, frankly, I doubt Disney has it in them to do a series that ends with the protagonist being in the place where we see Reva at the beginning of this show. I'd like to be wrong about that too, but I don't think I am.
I don't know if the Disney canon has ever addressed it directly, but Lucas had previously said that Luke and Leia were just as powerful as Anakin. That had been seemingly contradicted in the EU novels that had come out before that point, with characters like Kyp Durron seemingly much more powerful than Luke. That would later get retconned. I remember early in the New Jedi Order, there was a scene where Kyp was musing about how he used to believe he was more powerful than Luke, but had eventually realized that Luke just didn't show off his power. I think it might have been in the first NJO novel, during a dog fight where Luke manages to push a mini black hole enough to make it consume the Vong ship generating it.Does Leia (and Luke) have abnormally high midi counts? Anakin does sure but that doesn’t necessarily means they do.
If it is, they really ought to announce it. As of now, knowing that a Reva spinoff is planned makes me think I know exactly what her story is, and really diminishes any excitement I had for seeing it play out.
