Originally, Obi-Wan Kenobi was set to have the titular character come out of hiding to protect Luke Skywalker, which would have been a terrible premise. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, the show will follow Obi-Wan, one of the few surviving Jedi during the reign of the Empire as he is thrust into a mission he cannot ignore. The series went through hefty revisions in order to help differentiate it from some of its predecessors, like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, otherwise it could have ended up being all too familiar. While it has been long understood that Obi-Wan’s primary responsibility was to watch over and protect Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, it’s exciting to think his purpose could be even more than this, shedding further insight into what the “crazy old man” as Uncle Owen calls him in A New Hope, was really up to all those years. If the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is any indication of what is in store, it is sure to delight fans of the first Jedi ever seen on the silver screen.
