Old Ben Kenobi is back with his very own Disney Plus show about his adventures in the post-Jedi galaxy following 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan Kenobi’s first two episodes dropped on Friday, and while they give Obi-Wan a mission worthy of its own series, they also left us with quite a few questions along the way. Thankfully, the show still has four episodes left to sort out our confusion, and to continue its already entertaining story.
But before a new episode arrives next week, here are some of our burning curiosities coming out of the show’s first two episodes.

The Empire’s Inquisitorius Program has been the antagonists of a few different post-Disney Star Wars series at this point. They play a massive role in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and they’re an important part of the Star Wars: Rebels animated series as well. As Obi-Wan himself explains, the Inquisitors are essentially Imperial Jedi hunters, and were often ex-Jedi themselves.
It seems pretty likely that that’s the case with Obi-Wan’s seeming prime antagonist, the Third Sister, also known as Rava. In fact, it looks like we might get a look at a young version of her in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s opening scene, as the Clone Troopers invade the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
But how does this all relate to her obsession with Obi-Wan? This seems like a central question that the show plans on answering, but it certainly seems to have something to do with Darth Vader — considering that she knows his secret identity as Anakin. Perhaps she wants to double-cross Vader and needs Obi-Wan to help her get close for her revenge? Or maybe Vader spared her, and now she’s his personal assassin.
