Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In today’s video, we will be going over how Reva knew Luke was Anakin’s child in
the Obi-wan Kenobi finale.
The Obi-wan Kenobi series has many intricate parts, and most of them have been wrapped
up and explained by the end of the series.
Such as, having the Grand Inquisitor supposedly killed off, even though he exists in Star
Wars Rebels, which takes place in time after this.
“Really think I’d let you take all the credit?”
Speaking of lightsabers through the chest, at the end of Obi-wan Kenobi Part 5, we see
Reva get a crimson blade through the chest, by none other than Lord Vader himself.
“Did you really believe I did not see it, youngling?”
It is revealed at the end of Part 2 that Reva knew Darth Vader was previously Anakin Skywalker.
“Anakin Skywalker is alive.”
The series keeps us wondering how, until it is revealed in Part 5 that she was a youngling
at the Jedi temple during Order 66.
“The night of Order 66, you were a youngling.”
She has been waiting to exact her revenge on Anakin for killing the only family she
has ever known.
“They were the only family I knew, and he slaughtered them.”
As she is lying on the ground filled with hate, she comes across the message from Bail
Organa that was sent to Kenobi that was accidentally dropped by Haja.
“If he’s found you, if he’s learned of the children.
I’ll head to Tatooine.
Owen will help the boy.”
In the message from Bail, he mentions the children, Tatooine, and Owen.
In Part 1, when Reva was on Tatooine, she has a brief encounter with Owen, one that
she swore she would not forget about.
Okay so even though there are probably hundreds or even thousands of Owens on Tatooine, she
must have sensed something about this specific Owen.
It could just be a hunch at this point, but what other options does she have to pursue
at this point with a hole in her chest and being disenfranchised with the Empire.
In the finale, she returns to Tatooine and begins searching for Owen by asking around.
Even if people are unwilling to talk, Reva has shown she has other ways of finding out
information in the past.
This helps to explain just how she is able to find Owen, the farm, and one of the children
mentioned in the message.
She attacks the Lars family farm in pursuit of Luke, who manages to escape and hit his
head, not ever seeing Reva or a lightsaber in the process.
As far as he’s concerned, it is Tusken Raiders after him.
Reva is getting ready to strike down an unconscious Luke to get her revenge on Anakin, but ultimately
cannot bring herself to do it, as she sees a reflection of herself as a child.
But just how did she know that the child was the offspring of Anakin Skywalker?
While there is no blatant indication that she knows Luke is the offspring of Anakin.
It is quite possible, if not probable, that she could have learned through questioning
people on Tatooine that Owen had a child on his farm by the name of Luke Skywalker.
“There’s something you need to know.”
Considering that the Skywalker name is not too popular, and the fact that Obi-wan has
been watching over this child of importance, it is safe to say that she could make this
connection actually quite easily.
Obviously this is not directly shown, but it would help to explain just how she knows
Luke is the son of Anakin.
“I couldn’t do it.
I failed them.”
And there you have it!
