The two meet for the first time since their fateful duel on Mustafar in Episode 3 of the series. Eventually, he comes face to face with Darth Vader himself once again. What he doesn’t know, however, is that the whole kidnapping is part of a plan by Inquisitors to draw him out of hiding and take him down.ĭuring his journey across the galaxy to bring Leia home to her parents, Obi-Wan crosses paths with numerous Inquisitors, Empire troopers, fake Jedi, and members of the incipient Rebel Alliance. Initially reluctant, Kenobi eventually agrees to help. It turns out that the senator’s adoptive daughter, and Darth Vader’s biological child, Leia ( Vivien Lyra Blair), has been kidnaped, and the only person that Organa trusts to bring her back safely is Obi-Wan.
Set in the years between the events of Star Wars - Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi has the titular Jedi master briefly taken out of his exile on Tatooine by Senator Bail Organa ( Jimmy Smits). Or, at least, that’s what Vader would believe… How, you ask? Well, he would’ve killed Obi-Wan.
OLD OBI WAN KENOBI TV
The man behind the original script for the planned Obi-Wan Kenobi trilogy that got scrapped in favor of the TV show, Beattie revealed details of his version of the story, including his original ending that would have avoided this late addition of a plot hole completely. In a recent interview with The Decider, writer Stuart Beattie spoke of this plot hole.
More specifically, it created a whole problem for the franchise’s timeline and a plot hole that the most attentive fans were quick to point out: why on Earth (or on Alderaan) was Vader so shocked to meet Obi-Wan again in A New Hope if he knew very well that his old master was alive? However, from a storytelling point of view, pitting Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi against each other one more time proved to be a little too complicated for Star Wars. Not from an entertainment point of view, of course: watching the former master and apprentice fighting each other remains just as great as it has always been. But, as it turns out, a lightsaber battle between Kenobi and Vader isn’t always a good thing.
