Ewan McGregor is stellar as the fallen Jedi Master, broken after his failure to save Anakin Skywalker (via toofab)
Now, we've seen plenty of characters survive worse lightsaber injuries, like Darth Maul, but it's certainly possible the Grand Inquisitor died here. Regardless, it definitely establishes that Reva has gone fully rogue. That said, it may not hurt her.
Much like Darth Vader toyed with Luke's emotions to try and draw him out , Reva tries the same tactic on Obi-Wan, revealing to him that Anakin didn't die after all; that he is in fact, Darth Vader. But we're still laughing a little at how long a ten-year-old girl had Flea and his fellow mercenaries chasing her through the woods when their legs were twice as long as hers. No fancy editing could hide that this was completely implausible and ridiculous. Thankfully, they at least finally caught her, because we'd have never bought it otherwise.
By putting the focus of those three films more on Obi-Wan's arc in them rather than Anakin's, we get a story of ambition, confidence, friendship, betrayal and failure. The prequel trilogy is a story of tragedy, and"Obi-Wan Kenobi" is the aftermath, as well as a chance at redemption.
