For now, this seems to work better as a movie to me, rather than a series.

Agreed.

I don’t know how this series will develop, but for now, it would make a lot more sense to me if it was Vader leading this hunt for Obi-Wan, instead of Reva. Of course she should have a big motivation to hunt him, as it was implied already, but no one would have a stronger motivation than Vader himself.

Agreed here as well. My thoughts here are that it might be totally plausible later on to explain that Vader was the one initiating the hunt. The Inquisitors are just foot workers anyway.

I don’t know if it could work through AI voice lines, but it could be cool to see Vader ordering the inquisitors to hunt down Obi-Wan rather than Reva doing that by herself.

True. We’ll have to see how competent the Inquisitor storyline is handled first, as this has the danger of screaming fanedit if not done extremely well.

And I agree about the opinion to cut the inquisitors completely, if possible. Reva seems hard to cut, since she is the character that is moving the plot, and cutting her entirely would demand too much effort to make the plot work with editing. But, of course, the more the inquisitors are toned down the better, they are too bad unfortunately.

It is a plausibility, and definitely a solution if the Inquisitor plotline is useless and cringeworthy throughout.

I think to make this edit less fanedit-y and more profound, keeping the Inquisitor storyline might be preferable - but we’ll have to see how competent their story is handled in the upcoming episodes.

AS FOR VADER SENSING OBI CLIP;

The thought is that OBI-Wan has been cut off from the force (like Luke in TLJ) and that when OBI-Wan is using the force this is the very moment Anakin (strong af in the force as he is at this point) senses him and his whereabouts.

This could also work to explain why it is NOT Vader initiating the hunt - if we go that original route.
