Think about how this compares to Obi-Wan vs Maul in Rebels. Obi ends Maul quickly, and despite Maul having taken so much from him, still comforts him during his last moments. Vader simply toys with Reva, humiliates her efforts, reminds her of her greatest fear and in the end leaves her to die alone. Perfectly showcasing the difference between the Light and Dark side of the Force.

yep, came here to say just this too, it's literally the point of the lesson with Kenobi, he's moved past his need to win, that blinds him to opportunity. There's potential that Reva will have a breakthrough moment here, harness force rage abilities... he's giving her every opportunity to discover that and...strike him down... it doesn't happen, for all her anger, she won't give into the moment of unleashed rage that is a fundamental transition on the path to dark side mastery.

Vader will ignite his own lightsaber in a fight against someone he respects/deems a worthy opponent, like on Mapuzo against Obi-Wan. This was Vader's way of telling Reva that he couldn't be bothered to put in the effort, she was that low on the totem pole to him. Edit: Obi-Wan has always meant more to Vader than Sidious. We see an example of one of Obi-Wan's lessons running through Vader's mind years after they've parted. Sidious was a selfish, terrible teacher--the kind who withholds information from you because they feel threatened. He didn't have the traits to be a good teacher due to his hunger for power, greed, and immense need to retain the locus of control. Sidious withheld knowledge from Vader for fear that the latter would figure out his machinations, and didn't teach Vader anything that would make him stronger in the Force or with a lightsaber for fear that Vader would strike him down. Sidious offered to teach Anakin as a way of seducing him, then ended up giving Vader crumbs.

When he caught the starship with the force, I don't think I breathed for 2 minutes.

[@swistedfilms]

I'm going to disagree slightly here and say that in this series they've nailed Anakin: this is a younger Vader, closer to the impetuous and impatient Anakin than the measured, calculating, patient Darth Vader of the OT. You can hear it in the dialog and even the order of the dialog. Example: when Vader is informed of Obi Wan's location he didn't immediately order setting a course for the planet. Instead, he congratulated Reva and then ordered the destination change. It's subtle but it's there.

[@Geminias]

When Rebels came out - some of the info we were given on the Inquisitors was that they were trained in hunting, tracking, and lightsaber combat. Vader withheld deeper knowledge of the force from the inquisitors so that he would never have to worry about a rival. The only real exception was the grand inquisitor since he was established at the Jedi Temple. I took this scene strictly as a show of dominance.

A Vader solo series? I second that emotion! If this were to happen, there is so much material to draw from. I myself am torn between two possibilities. One option, could be to use a Vader series to finally begin addressing, in live action, who I consider to be the greatest character in Star Wars. Thrawn. Using the material from the epic team ups of Anakin and Thrawn as well as Vader and Thrawn. The second option could be to use the series to introduce Aphra. Seeing as how the decided to include Black Krrsantan in Boba Fett, it’s only a matter of time until they bring Dr. Aphra into the fold. It would also be highly entertaining, considering that she is one of the few characters who are dangerous and resourceful enough to momentarily disable Vader. Anyone who is not familiar with the endlessly entertaining dynamic between Vader and Dr. Aphra, needs to rectify this grievous oversight post haste. Vader has immense respect for the character of Aphra. Though he can obviously sense her fear of him, her use of humor, as well as her vast and invaluable knowledge of weapons and tactics is most likely perceived as a refreshing change which diffuses his otherwise crippling presence. An added bonus, would be the fact that any live action rendition of Dr. Aphra, must needs include Triple-Zero and I personally think that having Anthony Daniels provide the voice of the black mirror reflection of Threepio would be great. The sadistic and misanthropic nature of the ancient Triple-Zero personality matrix in a shiny, jet-black torture-protocol droid body would be my idea of a Kamino-wet dream come true!

[@tradeka4206]

The Vader stuff in this episode was fantastic. The fight with Reva, pulling the transport out of the sky and ripping it open. That was badass.

I also like that in this episode and the last episode they’ve shown some good scenes of action with Obi Wan and he seems more comfortable using the force and his lightsaber now. I really thought he would finally commune with Qui gon in this episode but maybe they’re saving it for the final one. If that doesn’t happen I’ll be pretty pissed

[@ralphw530]

Makes me think of the fight scene between Yoda and Count Dooku in Attack of the clones. They trade force knowledge in battle until Dooku says, "It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the force, but by our skills with a lightsaber." I never thought about that line much until watching this video. It seems like a lightsaber battle is seen as sophomoric by older experienced force users. It's almost like the lightsaber is a training tool for the force. Once you have mastered your knowledge of the force, the lightsaber is more like a fun toy or a support tool. Great video!

[@zoraster3749]

Wrong conclusion. It means that it’s easier to come to a stalemate with the force alone and that the additional layer of a physical and skill based contest in addition to the force will decide the outcome. In the Darth Bane novels force users are constantly probing each other for weaknesses within the force (like a mental chess game) which is easy to defend as long as you can maintain focus unless one force user is extremely more powerful and can just overwhelm them. The lightsaber combat adds complexity to the challenge. How much of their mental energy is being put into the duel vs focusing on the force. The better duelist can begin to wear down their opponent’s concentration and allow them to penetrate with the force (stunning them, distracting them) to land a fatal blow. The movies portray it simply as a martial contest with the occasional force push landing against a distracted opponent but the battle is occurring within the force at the same time.

[@mewtationnation3554]

This is the same reason why you almost never see Palpatine draw his blade. He and other Sith Lords felt that lightsabers were beneath them and that their prowess with the force meant that they never needed to use them. For the most part, he was right. Palpatine was so overwhelmingly powerful in his force abilities that he only ever drew it for the likes of Mace Windo and Grandmaster Yoda.

Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.

5th episode was really good. Seeing everything build to this point has been great and if I had to guess, I think Reva is going to challenge Obi-Wan on Tattoine alone since she can't possibly get her revenge on Vader. It would make the most sense as now, she has absolutely no reason to return to the empire but she is likely still full of hate for what happened during Order 66.

@@sciencexl true, but the thing is they effectively wrapped up her arc *without* Vader taking her out. So I have to wonder why. Her and Obi-Wan are cool-ish now so that doesn’t really make much sense to have a confrontation there especially because the finale should really culminate in Obi VS Vader. And it would be awkward to keep her all super evil and kill her off anyway after surviving Vader and what we know about her tragic backstory.

[@PWNHUB]

The whole "force barrier" is completely subjective plot armor only used when needed to explain away the force not being used directly against targets. The same is used when they explain away the force being tiring to use like Vader couldn't have just ripped the second ship down like he did the first. However Count Dooku literally force chokes Obi Wan into the air in a fight effortlessly and sends Anakin across the room. There is no "force" barrier passively active, at best they can actively defend themselves through focus hence the dangerousness of Mace Windu and Form VII. Another good example is Sidious taking down Jedi masters behind Windu like they are nothing with a force scream. Vader does not actually believe lightsabers are unnecessary he strongly believed in the blade like Dooku, however his power level as you said is insanely above Reva and all the Inquisitorius. She couldn't break his focus if she tried her hardest which is what it requires to really fight 1 on 1 with any educated force user. There is more to the sequence that's really overlooked, like how he uses 0 extra moves at any point, and he is somewhat nimble for wearing the suit. This gives us a great idea of how far he has come since actually being nearly killed by Obi wan. It also gives an idea of how much stronger the chosen ones really are even when severely injured.

[@dylanbeal7016]

Force barrier ITSELF is definitely NOT plot armor 💀 it’s a logical explanation. It’s simply used similar to plot armor in movies. Pick up a comic.

[@ArcaneCowboy]

Using the Force makes people tired throughout the series.

[@dextergray1670]

Came here to say something similar. Even when a comic is canon the subtle thing like that are not guaranteed crossover as theses showriteres are quick to tell you. They decide almost case by case what exist in their shows and unless they establish it it isn't there. I read all the novels and in the new canon that kind of thing is not fleshed out well like it used to be in Legends. My proof example from this particular show would be when she stabs the Inquisitor. Based of the workings of the force we know and how dark side users operate she should have never been able to get that that attack off on him like he didn't have any idea it was coming. So yea in the comics or not it wasn't in this show.

[@aceneto9386]

He can’t pull the second one out for two reasons he probably exhausted his power by the time it came out and two he was ready for it it moved before he had a chance to grab it

[@jtnachos16]

The force barrier is a 'passive' thing. But like any sort of 'enhancement' it does need to be somewhat maintained. Which requires energy and focus. The way I view it is that without focus on it, it is less a 'barrier' and more a tactile sense, letting them known when someone is attempting to use the force on them. The example from Dooku vs Obi and Ani makes sense as Obiwan and Anakin having not actively dialed up theirs, leaving it at a 'low' level, planning to dial it up and down as need, so as to conserve energy. Dooku yanked Obi faster than he could react, and by the time he started raising his shields, he was already losing blood flow, and thus couldn't muster the focus to throw it off. Anakin, in his haste to get Obi-wan free, was focused on the wrong thing, and thus got launched. Sidious vs the masters: Force scream is, canonically speaking, a rare thing to be able to control on demand (it's actually usually seen mostly in self-taught adepts, both dark and light, iirc), and an exceedingly taboo thing for jedi. Put simply, the Jedi weren't expecting a force power that required no real buildup first. Mace, being one of the most conlict-minded of the council, and more competent in combat in general, had his guard up from the get-go, and thus wasn't overwhelmed by the same Force scream that staggered the others and left them open long enough for Palps to start culling numbers.

I view it as, he let her have a taste of the revenge she so desperately wanted, he didn’t want to just kill her, he wanted to let her have a go at him, even though he knew full well she was no match for him and basically he just toyed with her, I believe he knew the entire time exactly who she was and that he was playing it off letting her believe she fooled him into thinking she was his loyal servant like the others. To me it sounds very much like an Anakin move, letting her fight him fairly, seeing what she’s got, and most likely was waiting for it to happen all those years of her serving him. Watching the duel i was kind of imagining the same kind of thing happening between him and Ahsoka, he enjoyed toying with her, enjoyed watching her get frustrated and angry that she couldn’t beat him. And he also used what he had learned from Obi Wan too, i could imagine him quietly smiling or smirking behind that mask.

Not to mention, a bunch of these angry piss babies are just using Star Wars criticism as an outlet to push their political views and are acting in bad faith. The hate the prequel trilogy got also harmed the sequel trilogy and made Lucasfilm too scared to acknowledge episodes 1-3 in it. It made them play it safe with episode 7 and gave us a rehash. Then when people complained about that, they took a hard left turn with episode 8. And then when people went absolutely apesh*t over 8 made episode 9 into a sloppy mess that's made by committee. Not saying vitriolic critics are the only reason the sequels failed, far from it. Lucasfilm having no plan and no balls is ultimately what damaged it.

I also have a theory about Vader specifically using Reva's weapon, due to the way it was done. It's fairly clear that an Inquisitor Saberstaff is designed to come apart, but no Inquisitor had been seen doing this before to my knowledge, despite the Jedi training its members in Jar'kai Dual Blade Fencing.Given the motions we observe, my theory is that the separation of an Inquisitor's weapon is ceremonial, representative of (and done only while) challenging a superior in the Inquisitorius for dominance. It would be in keeping with the Rule of Two (after a fashion) while limiting the Inquisitor during the bout. Not only did Vader not need his own weapon for the fight, using Reva's upholds the doctrin of the Inquisitorius while also furthering his dun moch victory over Reva.

[@TrueSighted]

Not as ruthless all the time. You could see her discomfort when it came to leah. When she was about to torture Leah, she was suffering as well. Yelling out to leah to "say something!" And then "you've brought this on yourself." Clearly she was fighting against her own good nature. She wanted revenge, and was willing to go against her own nature to get it. But she was always suffering in silence. And she was not able to draw out the darkness and use it as effectively as those who had lost all hope, and embraced the dark side completely. What she really wanted, was to understand, and seek justice for her slain family. She just convinced herself that revenge would suffice, and that as long as she was able to kill him, that it just might be enough so that she could forgive herself for being so weak, and not dieing along with the others. Or being somehow stronger, and able to stop the slaughter. Or save her friends. Rationally, she knows that was impossible, but emotions are rarely rational. She has survivor's guilt, and a crisis of self, that she is dealing with. Its no wonder that her access to the force, and its strength, is suffering.
