@Cap1 - The goal is to have these shocking lines so he hopes to appear in TV spots or whatever. Happens a lot when major stuff is launched ("BEST MARVEL MOVIE EVER" in NWH comes to mind)

@Fogs - twos on the above comment, hadn’t thought of that before. Exemplifies Josh’s complete lack of journalistic morals

@Origame - back at it again with the nonsensical responses! You can’t possibly compare 2 eps of one series to two seasons worth of episodes. U completely missed my point, but what’s new

@Origame - lol man, im not gonna entertain ur argumentative stupidity and understanding deficit of the simplest thing with a proper response. All the best

@Origame - okay I said I wouldn’t respond, but I have to cos now ur just making shit up for the sake of being difficult and (very) weird. Where does he say ‘it’s on par with what you’d expect from an ep of the Mandalorian’? That’s right, nowhere! Where does he say it’s ‘on par as the best series yet’? (based on two episodes i’ll just reiterate). That’s right, twice in the review! Learn to read before going on ur insufferable illogical n blatantly false streaks

@Cap1 - If this whole series was only two episodes, it's easier to argue Wilding's point. But if the whole thing crumbles or wavers in the next four episodes, his statement will seem especially stupid. As I said the same about people calling the first episodes of Ms. Marvel the best MCU show thus far.

@MisterDoctor217 - It’s 6 episodes. Can’t blow the whole load in the first 2. The fact that you mention not being a big SW fan twice is interesting as well. Respect your opinion but I think you misunderstand what bookends this series and the need for context setting.

@Repian - That’s where my thinking went after that scene as well…Unless they plan on retconning the first season of Rebels that is…

I’m going to assume it was a way to remove the Grand Inquisitor from taking the shine off of Reva in this series…Probably have him in a Barca tank for the duration only to show up and kick her butt in the last episode or something…

@Repian - I mean, they did show his body laying on the ground with a dead face and open eyes. No one was taking anything for granted. They definitely made it look like he died.

@vegetaray - Yea they sort of set the stage for her being this obsessive sleuth who just pours through archives but that kind of feels elaborate. I could see the padawan angle and it would add more emotional weight to her knowing. This is really sensitive information though so the "how" and "why" matters.

@vegetaray - her performance is almost unwatchable, I agree.

She would show up and the atmosphere became hokey. It feels like someone trying way too hard. I started to dread her showing up as the episodes moved along.

@vegetaray - See when you have to explain the story that means it was written bad.

@GhostDog - possible that Vader personally dispatched her as a secret backchannel way of tracking Obi Wan in order to end-around The Grand Inquisitor. As she is declared to be the lowest member of the collective, Vader would have complete plausible deniability to anything he is trying to do on the side of the Imperial command structure, and Reeva would be expendable enough to either cut loose, or outright terminate, should she fail. One of those taunts at Obi made it seem like she was there personally at Vader’s behest, which I took as a personal vengeance play on Vader’s part because Reeva quite explicitly stated that Obi Wan was to be brought before Vader ALIVE, which would completely contradict the Inquisitor’s explicit role AND prove incredibly dangerous in allowing a full Jedi Master (to their perception as they are not aware of his fall) to live any longer than absolutely necessary.
Perhaps he recognized something in her power set and/or investigate tenaciousness (possible she deduced his identity through the above mentioned relentless investigative (archive?) ability revealing his identity which lead Vader to personally commission Reeva on the sly, and send her on a secret, parallel side mission to the traditional Inquisitor’s role in order to keep his motivations ‘off-book.’

@GhostDog - Thank You

@BigBoiJoe - really judgy over a baby.
