Reva...

Not liking her voice. Doesn't sound menacing enough. Just sounds like some normal angry black woman placed into a Star Wars universe when compared to the Fifth Brother and Grand Inquisitor. I don't know her beef with Kenobi other than wanting to stroke Vader's cawk but she's a renegade that needs to be dealt with, personally. Gungho, rogue, renegade, doesn't really follow orders of senior command, may even piss off Vader later on in the episodes. I'm just glad they brought back James Earl Jones to reprise his Vader voice.

I was REALLY hoping Reva but work but I'm not finding her to be very well written & the actress feels woefully miscast. While they scaled it back somewhat in episode 3, I found myself cringing with secondhand embarrassment whenever she was on screen in the first two episodes. It's the responsibility of the casting director (and other higher ups) to get someone who's right for the part. Casting an unknown actress with limited experience & acting range as your main villain almost feels like Di$ney may not have had a lot of faith about the project & deliberately chose her to be a convenient scapegoat.

More racism in this board. Sad.

Just looks like they plucked an urban 20something from the streets of London and stuck her in a shitty rubber costume.
