‘The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat – the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who has turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader’
But according to a source, a bunch of details about the upcoming series has leaked.
Potential Spoilers Ahoy!
According to Jason Ward on Making Star Wars, a young Jedi named Nari, who survived the massacre of Order 66, makes his way to Tatooine to find Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Naturally, on his tail are the Sith Inquisitors. Though the boy pleads to Kenobi to help him, Obi-Wan says the only way to live is to hide.
Unfortunately, his neglect only leads to Nari’s death, making Kenobi realise he has failed yet another Jedi.
Following this tragedy, Kenobi realises he must protect Luke and Leia if he is ever to bring balance to the force and stop Emperor Palpatine…
Now is all of this confirmed? Absolutely not. Would it be very awesome? Absolutely.
There is no trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi as of yet. But, with the series only months away and anticipation at a monumental high, it can’t be far away.
