Reva is a better character than Shin Hati

by Richard Schertzer November 18, 2023
written by Richard Schertzer

For some reason beyond me, the character Reva seems to get some unnecessary hate during her screen time on the series Obi-Wan Kenobi while Shin Hati gets praised by fans for some reason. 

The Ahsoka series was praised highly by fans while Obi-Wan Kenobi received more of a mixed response from fans, with the audiences claiming that the latter was more woke and unnecessary in the lore of Star Wars. As a result, the character Reva was derided and Shin Hati was more beloved by fans. I’m here to explain why the Star Wars fans are, once again, wrong in their assessment of these characters. 

 

Reva’s arch is more drawn out

Reva’s arch stretches out all the way from Revenge of the Sith, as she was one of the younglings in the Jedi Temple when Darth Vader came waltzing in with an army of clones murdering almost everyone in their path. This history cements her arch broader into the lore of the series and gives her a proper motivation as to why she joined the darker side of the force. 

With all of that being said, her trauma is detailed and her anger seems more justified and why she joined forces with the Grand Inquisitor. 

 

Reva is a more passionate character

Reva is a much more passionate character in the miniseries than Hati and while both women want the approval of their superiors, Hati seems more shallow in her attempts at trying to earn that respect and her motivations seem a lot weaker than Reva’s. 

Hati seems like a very hollow character in the Star Wars universe as she is living in the shadow of another villain by the name of Baylan Skoll, who is a character that nobody really cares about in the universe. Reva lives in the shadow of Darth Vader which is more than enough to raise a few eyebrows as she is working for a villain who is already well-known in the universe.

To be fair, I don’t even remember any memorable moments from Hati either.

Creator of “Kenan and Kel”, Kim Bass breaks down his career and newest film

by Richard Schertzer November 11, 2023
written by Richard Schertzer

I was able to sit down with the creator of “Kenan and Kel” Kim Bass as he went over his fantastic career in the television sitcom world.

He got the bug to be in the television and film industry very young. He was seven years old when his grandfather took him to his first movie and he thought that he would find a way to figure it all out. Moreover, “Kenan and Kel” was based on Bass’ relationship with his best friend Tyrone and his other show “Sister, Sister” was based on his twin sisters. He was also involved with a sketch comedy show called “In Living Color”.

 

In 2022, Bass had a film called “Tyson’s Run” and it began streaming on Netflix outside of the U.S. and it will begin streaming in the U.S. on Netflix on February 28, 2024 and has performed well globally, becoming the top 8 film on Netflix. 

His other film “A Snowy Day in Oakland” began streaming recently on Starz, as well. 

Obviously, Bass has been very busy with his work and doesn’t seem to be showing signs of slowing down as he will be shooting his next film entitled  “A Lawyer, The Devil, Three Priests and a Nun” next spring.
