Star Wars actors are certainly well-versed in navigating fans disappointment or even hatred, but, perhaps, the least liked person in Star Wars fandom right now is Moses Ingram, who stars alongside Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Disney+ limited series as Third Sister Reva. Yet another new character in Star Wars lore is not exactly news, so why is Reva considered that bad and hated by 'Kenobi' fans almost universally?
The very first and perhaps the biggest reason why Reva is getting so much hate is actually the show's writers fault: feels like Reva's very character is just too much of a cardboard cut-out, and not a proper, complex villain with solid motivation and, perhaps, a fascinating backstory (oh hi there, Loki). As the main antagonist of the series Reva should be scary, or at least threatening, but for some reason it just doesn't work at all: there's no depth, her motivation is not believable, there's no emotional investment in Ingram's character at all.
The second reason is poorly-written dialogue; Reva's line are borderline laughable at times, and if you're laughing at the Big Baddie of the show, something must definitely be off. Some fans even believe that a lot of what Reva says is actually "poorly executed nostalgia bait" – that's how much her lines remind Darth Vader's. Due to this in particular Reva comes across not as a scary main antagonist, but as someone plain annoying, which is not helping at all. But then again – it's not Moses Ingram's fault, it's solely writers'.
"The whole show is terrible. Just so poorly written, but what do you expect from Disney when Favreau or Filoni isn't involved," – /CowetaScore.
The third reason is how predictable Reva's character storyline actually is. There's almost no doubt the writers are setting ground for Reva's redemption arc: the whole point of her very existence is – at least according to some Reddit fan theories – to save Kenobi and sacrifice her own life in the process. Almost everyone believes that in the series finale Reva is going to come around and help Kenobi, only to be killed by Darth Vader himself. And this is what makes it even worse, because for Star Wars fans it's like the Second Sister arc all over again.
