Original ObiWan writer Stuart Beattie reveals his initial plan was to have Reva die at the end. 'Yeah, killed by Vader at the end of it.'
The original script for Obi-Wan Kenobi included Reva dying in the end at Darth Vader's hand. Ewan McGregor's return to Star Wars came with plenty of new revelations about the franchise's established canon. Not only did the Disney+ series feature two rematches between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, but it also showed Kenobi help save a young Leia Organa and encounter the Inquisitors.
Reva's role in Obi-Wan Kenobi was substantial, as she was the mastermind behind kidnapping Leia to draw Kenobi out of hiding. Viewers watched her hunt down the legendary Jedi in an attempt to prove herself to Darth Vader, who she secretly hated since she was a Jedi youngling during Order 66. Heading into the series, though, many expected Reva to die in Obi-Wan Kenobi since she is not mentioned in any other canon materials that come after these events.
Yeah, killed by Vader at the end of it. Yeah, I wanted this story, I wanted her story to end. I wanted Reva to play her part in the Kenobi-Vader story, which was, essentially, at the end, she was the one that allowed Vader, basically told Vader to stop hunting Kenobi. You know, she ended the obsession Vader had with Kenobi. She claimed it was over, it's done. So that was, that was her role to play. And she'd done so many terrible things, I felt she had to die [laughs].
Lucasfilm may have changed Obi-Wan Kenobi from a potential movie trilogy to a limited series on Disney+, but Beattie's script was still used as the basis for this adventure. While many of his ideas were used in the final product, killing Reva was not one of them. It is not known if Lucasfilm ever intended to have the Obi-Wan Kenobi show include Reva's death. Rumors suggested that the show's ending was altered to leave her alive.
Reva's ambiguous fate in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale is one of the show's biggest lingering questions. It does seem that it would have made more sense for Darth Vader and the Grand Inquisitor's combined ruthlessness to end with Reva's death. However, Moses Ingram dealt with severe harassment after Reva's debut. Most Obi-Wan Kenobi viewers enjoyed the character and her arc.
