Spoilers in front of the first five episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+.
There is only one episode left Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series it Bringing movie stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to the small screen An epic untold story in the history of Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Take a look at the detectives’ debut as vital villains, Leia’s young lead role, Reva’s discovery of Luke after he was left to die, the “match of the century” that has yet to happen, and there’s a lot more to come in the final on June 22.
But as it happens, there are many star Wars Canon Group In the years since this series we can infer some of what will happen in the end… and what won’t in the end. Therefore, in light of Star Wars Rebels (starting after four years Obi-Wan Kenobi) and the original trilogy (beginning after nine years Obi-Wan Kenobi), let’s look at what the law actually tells us about how the string ends.
Lots of characters will survive
There are some pretty obvious characters who won’t die in the last episode of the limited series. Star Wars Rebels Features of Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, Leia, Bail and Even Luke for a whileWhile New hope Obviously, it includes Owen and Beru as well. Many of these characters will die before the end New hopebut it’s safe until the end Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Some of the lesser known characters will also survive. Nope Grand Inquisitor (who wasn’t actually killed Obi-Wan Kenobi) And the fifth brother has roles in the first and second seasons of the rebelsrespectively, so they are safe from death for another 4-5 years or so The star Wars timetable.
Some characters can still die
Unfortunately, some characters do not appear in the rebels or OT. As Tala demonstrated in Episode V, anyone who was not confirmed later in the saga could face their own doom. Riva Not one of the investigators in the rebels (Not surprisingly after Episode 5) or part of the Rebellion in the original trilogy; After Vader stabs her and learns she has no allies, her odds of surviving aren’t the greatest.
Survival is also not confirmed She needs Camille Nanjiani (who made a huge mistake in Episode 5 could lead Riva to Luke) and O’Shea’s O’Shea Jackson Jr’s Kulan Rocken, who helped Obi-Wan and Leia. Even LOLA is not guaranteed to reach the end without being permanently destroyed. Not all of these characters may die, but we can’t say with absolute certainty that they won’t.
Obi-Wan returns to Tatooine.
Luke Skywalker may have died early New hope If not to find Old Ben in the desert, my exiled Jedi would definitely return to his hermit life in Tatooine. Expressed by Ewan McGregor Interested in playing his role again? After the end of this series; Assuming there is a real limit to the number of major events that can occur on Tatooine, it may leave the planet again.
But even if he goes on some extraterrestrial adventure, Star Wars Rebels He proves to be holding his spot watching Luke as of the third season of the animated show, set about a year or two ago. New hope. At this point, he even carried his own lightsaber, which would be very useful.
Darth Vader and Obi-Wan need another match
The two former brothers need to meet and clash again. In the show as of Episode 5, Obi-Wan still seems to have some hesitation about wanting Vader to die because he knows he was once Anakin, but the original Obi-Wan trilogy doesn’t show the same hesitation.
In fact, through Return of the JediObi-Wan wanted to kill Luke Vader, calling him “a machine now more than man” and “quirky and evil”, dismissing Locke’s protest that there was still good in him. Sure, there’s plenty of room for maneuver since Kenobi “from a certain point of view” Obi-Wan “from a certain point of view” has been known to bend the facts, but it appears he needs to witness (or test) Vader doing something more brutal than what he’s seen so far access to that place.
Additionally, Vader said “Obi-Wan once believed as I did” in Rutge When Luke tried to insist that there was still good in him, I’m not sure their conversation about Mustafa fully qualified. For their dynamics in the OT era to make perfect sense, they must meet again at least one more time before that The decisive duel in New hope.
Twins won’t recognize each other
We can’t say with any certainty that Luke and Leia won’t cross each other now because several stories seem to converge on Tatooine, but it’s at least safe to say that Leia wouldn’t know her brother by name. After dropping the icon “Aren’t you a little short for Stormtroopers?” line it in New hope When he comes to her rescue in the Death Star, he introduces himself as Luke Skywalker, and she doesn’t recognize the name.
In fact, she doesn’t seem completely convinced that he can save her until he mentions that he’s “here with Ben Kenobi.” it’s a Technically It is possible that the twins will meet Obi-Wan Kenobi Without messing with the law as long as they don’t learn each other’s names, but the safest course is for Luke and Leia not to meet for another nine years.
Vader didn’t discover anything about Luke or Obi-Wan in Tatooine
Darth Vader may be aware of the existence of Leia as Princess of Aldran and daughter of Belle Organa, but the original trilogy rules out Vader’s discovery that Luke ever existed as someone with the last name “Skywalker” until later. New hopeAnd his life on Tatooine seems pretty uneventful until the appearance of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Obi-Wan Kenobi He made it very clear that Vader wanted revenge on Mustafa, and no one on this planet would live in peace if Vader had the idea that his former master was there. If the action returns to Tatooine and Reva after Luke after hearing Bail’s message, Vader should not participate based on the OT. Even Hayden Christensen He thinks Vader will never show up there.
Obi-Wan practice pays off
They speak of enemies with vengeance in their minds, Star Wars Rebels He tells us that Obi-Wan’s return to practice with his lightsaber will pay off massively within a decade. Darth Maul He’ll finally track down Obi-Wan On Tatooine, after deducing he was there to protect “someone,” Obi-Wan drew his saber to fight Maul.
It was a short fight that ended with Maul dying in three moves so fast that Obi-Wan who escaped from Vader in the third episode of his series couldn’t pull off. He was easily outflanked by Vader after that, but he’ll be back in practice enough for Maul after this streak.
Luke may be oblivious
Well, technically we don’t know for sure that Luke will still be completely oblivious to everything that seems to lead him to him in Tatooine, but the climax of Luke’s life is in the beginning New hope Apparently he was chasing a womp rat and a Tosche station. Meanwhile, Leah is a senator and rebel leader at the same point in the timeline. It seems likely that Luke will remain almost completely oblivious to the Obi-Wan Kenobi The epilogue of playing any major role.
