Part 7/10:
One of the most debated aspects among fans is whether a Kenobi series centered on Obi-Wan’s life during the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope is necessary or compelling. Obi-Wan’s quiet vigil over Luke Skywalker has been explored in expanded universe novels, notably the Kenobi novel from the Legends canon, which many fans highly regard.
In Disney canon, however, Obi-Wan's story has been perceived as somewhat limited or redundant—especially with the arrival of the Disney sequel trilogy and the Star Wars TV universe. Critics question what fresh perspective or emotional depth a new series could offer, particularly given what we already know about Obi-Wan’s fate and Luke’s role in the broader saga.
