It’s just one of many times that the padawan’s hubris - his need for victory, as Obi-Wan puts it - will blind him to the true nature of a face off with his master. “It’s over,” he says with a maniacal grin. In the training, Anakin finally knocks away Obi-Wan’s lightsaber. “What makes you think he won’t see me coming?” she asks Obi-Wan. In the present, Obi-Wan surrenders - to save innocent lives, but also to use Reva against Vader. “Admit you are beaten,” Anakin says in the flashback, his eyes alight both from the lightsaber and his menacing yet juvenile hunger to win. She has spent 10 years getting to a position where she can kill Darth Vader, and his former master is the winning card in her hand against him. Ingram’s performance has been consistently brilliant all season, but this adds new depth to Reva’s fervent fixation on capturing Obi-Wan. As a child, she witnessed Anakin and Obi-Wan’s closeness firsthand, and as an adult she knows their weakness for each other can be an asset in her quest for vengeance.
She’s not serving Darth Vader, but stalking him for revenge. “They were the only family I knew, and he slaughtered them,” Reva says through gritted teeth. She’s much younger than he is - young enough to have been a youngling at the Jedi Temple the day Anakin turned to the Dark Side and murdered every child in the temple. When she gets Obi-Wan alone, he asks how she knew Darth Vader’s true identity. There is another flashback that needs mentioning, which is Reva’s (Moses Ingram). Defeating the enemy - especially after assassination attempts on Padme (Natalie Portman) - is at the top of Anakin’s mind. At the time of their session, the Clone Wars are just starting, which means both Jedi will enter the fray soon on behalf of the Republic, dealing far more with daily enemies and deadly weapons than the more meditative, peaceful aspects of the Force. It feels a bit weighty for combat training, but there’s contextual urgency to this practice between Obi-Wan and Anakin.
