According to Entertainment Weekly, Reva is “the franchise’s fearsome new villain.” She takes “the form of a relentless Inquisitor.” According to director Deborah Chow and writer Joby Harold, the character is “ruthlessly ambitious.” Reva is also force-sensitive and on the hunt for Obi-Wan.

Contrastingly, Palpatine’s visage in the sequels is radically different, as he is a partially-resurrected version of himself, housing his consciousness in a cloned body. Palpatine’s changed appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi likely reflects 10 years of aging and further deformity from continued use of the dark side of the Force. Also, the dark Force can physically change its users, as evidenced by Anakin Skywalker’s eyes turning yellow – like Palpatine’s – after his first kills influenced by the dark side. This is reinforced in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, when Luke Skywalker is physically unaltered by Palpatine’s Force lightning. However, there is a theory from the Legends comics, where Palpatine uses Sith alchemy to conceal his true face behind a mask, which the Force lightning breaks, rather than causing disfigurement. In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine is seemingly disfigured in battle when his Force lightning is deflected back towards him by Jedi Mace Windu.
