Reva was left for dead by Darth Vader and the Grand Inquisitor but she managed to survive while also getting her hands on Obi-Wan’s communicator that contained the message about Luke and Owen. She decided that if she can’t finish Vader, she can take revenge another way.

The hunt for Luke

Reva makes it to Tattooine despite being gravely hurt and she asks around about Owen. One of the villagers informs Owen that Reva is looking for him so he rushes home with Luke.

He tells his wife, Beru, that they need to make a run for it. Beru has other ideas however, she wants to stay and fight. She grabs some weapons from their hiding place and tells Owen that they need to be ready for her.
