How Powerful Reva Is Compared To Other Inquisitors
Warning: Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3!
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series introduces a new villain, Reva (a.k.a. the Third Sister), who is a powerful Inquisitor, even among her colleagues. Reva, as with all Inquisitors, is a powerful Force-sensitive and former member of the Jedi Order who fell to the dark side (either by choice or after extensive torture) and became a servant of the Sith Order and the Galactic Empire. As a Jedi hunter whose training is overseen by Emperor Palpatine and conducted by Darth Vader, Reva exhibits skill in various dark side powers that are comparable to her fellow Inquisitors but ultimately inferior to those of a Dark Lord of the Sith.
Imperial Inquisitors originate from the Star Wars Legends continuity, which, since 2014, has become an alternate timeline and a frequent source of inspiration for the ongoing Star Wars canon continuity. Similar to their canon counterpart, the Legends-era Inquisitors were dark side agents of the Empire who assisted Darth Vader in hunting down the Jedi during the Jedi Purge. Unlike canon, however, Legends-era Inquisitors were an official part of the Imperial hierarchy, serving as a branch of Imperial Intelligence. Moreover, Legends-era Inquisitors were not nearly as limited in their dark side training. Perhaps the most famous Legends-era Inquisitor, Jerec, was of comparable dark side power to Mara Jade (Emperor Palpatine’s adopted daughter and personal assassin) and the eventual Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya, who was trained by Darth Vader and became a worthy successor to Emperor Palpatine.
