Why are people still taking about Vader and the fire? It is so obvious he decided to let Obi-Wan go. The question is why did he (other than for story)?
They are going to track him and hope he leads Vader to more Jedi.
it's exactly like what happens after he kills Obi-Wan on the Death Star. It's Vader's plan to let the Falcon escape, Moff Tarkin says so. They could have deployed 5 million stormtroopers and 500 TIEs and turned on all of the Death Star's defensive cannons to shoot the Falcon down, but they let them get away to see where the Rebel base was.
Vader's personal vendetta is with Obi-Wan, but if people are actively resisting the Empire, firing on stomtroopers and Vader, and helping Obi-Wan escape, his mandate has to be to track them down as well and eradicate them.
I'm more curious on how Vader and Leia don't interact here. I'm assuming Reva will take Leia back to the Inquisitor base since we've seen shots of her wielding her lightsaber in their hangar. Does she not tell Vader about the girl, or does Vader not care? Or does she stand up to him which leads to ANH "Darth Vader, only you could be so bold."
Also was Leia around when they talked about going to Jabiim? Because if so maybe Reva goes there and Vader follows?
