Was talking about this on discord yesterday but could you IMAGINE if the Kenobi show hadn’t decided that yellow contact lenses were too expensive or whatever the fuck and had given Reva the yellow Sith/Dark side eyes??
The POTENTIAL. Having her start off with the yellow eyes would underscore the fact that, for all her good intentions, she has Fallen to the Dark Side and is doing far more harm than good in the name of revenge. But then, throughout the series, as she starts to doubt and feel the pull towards the Light—when she touches the Jedi symbol in the Path tunnel or in her conversation with Leia, maybe her eyes soften for a moment and you can see brown in them. When she tells Obi-Wan about her past, as she begins to relive the memories of the Temple Massacre, the camera zooms into her eyes and they turn brown, and it’s left unclear if that’s actually her eyes turning back for a moment, or the eyes of her younger self from before they turned.
We don’t get another good look at her eyes until after the duel with Vader, as she lies bleeding on the ground. They’re back to yellow as she uses her rage and anger to survive her wound and begins to plan revenge by killing Luke. They stay yellow, not wavering once her entire time on Tatooine, until she corners Luke. It’s too dark to see her eye color as she raises the blade.
And then, when she returns with Luke and looks up at Obi-Wan, crying, we finally see her eyes, fully, unambiguously, naturally brown for the first time. Wouldn’t that be an AMAZING way to end the season? But no. That would have been too cool and interesting
