During the episode, Obi-Wan bares a striking resemblance to the Kenobi that fans first loved back in 1977, but that Obi-Wan looks far more aged than the Kenobi that we've seen in the trailers for the upcoming series.
There haven't been many other confirmed characters for the show, but what we've seen from the trailers has reassured us that some Inquisitors will be making appearances. The first piece of information is that both projects take place eight years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, allowing fans and audiences to understand where the galaxy stands regarding the Galactic Empire taking over.
After the events of Revenge of the Sith, where will the six-episode series leave off?
The standalone film from the Star Wars franchise might not have been a fan favorite, but it does have two key pieces of information that help determine where the Obi-Wan Kenobi series will take place in the Star Wars timeline. It seems safe to say that the series won't cover the years necessary to reach the point that we saw Obi-Wan in Rebels, and that his story will conclude far before those events.
While Obi-Wan will be the star of his own series, it would be irresponsible to forget about the other confirmed characters in the show and where their futures could potentially lead them. It doesn't mean that Obi-Wan can make himself look older by the end of the series to make himself look like he's older. It's hopeful that the creators will do justice to the show and make Star Wars fans happy to see some of their favorite characters back in action. The problem is that Obi-Wan is one of the most well-known characters in the entire universe of Star Wars.
The trailers have given fans a glimpse into what they can expect from the new series, which has been kept under wraps. For quite some time, fans have wanted a stand-alone Kenobi project, and their wishes have finally been granted, with the series set to premiere at the end of this month. One of the most anticipated aspects of the show is that Darth Vader will face off against his former master, and that is where the hype comes from. We know that Vader will survive the series, but what about the time in between? The second trailer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ dropped last week, and hype for the series shot high. It's safe to assume that the series will conclude prior to the events of Star Wars: Rebels.
There hasn't been a confirmed second season for the Kenobi series, so the six upcoming episodes might be all that fans are getting. The rule that the Inquisitors didn't apply to was the reason why Maul was thrown aside.
It would be like putting the cart before the horse for any other franchise. We know what happens to those characters in the future, but we don't know what happens in between.
Fans are hoping for a cameo appearance from the one and only Maul, as the second piece of information is more dramatic. If he helps Obi-Wan against Vader and the Inquisitors, his character could be explored even further. Fans know where he's going to end up, but there's also a lot of history that audiences still don't know. Vader has some gaps in his story, the same way that a lot of Kenobi's history hasn't been explored. The former Sith makes an appearance via hologram in the film and is set up for a sequel appearance.
