am i imagining that hayden christensen has been confirmed as returning to the DV role? i cant imagine we'll see him on tattoine as surely he'd sense his child, surely if he went back he'd go to his family
He's been cast, yes. I'm hoping we get a bacta tank scene and in that black pod thing getting his helmet put on.
And Rebels had that great scene where Vader's facemak got broken and you could see Anakin's sith eyes and hear his voice. That would be great to see in live action.

My guess is the series will be the start of the exile, an adventure or two (even off planet) then will end with the realisation that Vader is still alive, perhaps another confrontation (to explain the "Obi Wan once thought as you did line"), then a broken Obi Wan wanders out to the sunset to live out his days on Tattoine a shell of his former self.
100%
i can imagine a whole episode with no dialogue, one big montage of a broken man trying to learn this new life in exile, showing how hard life is, maybe afraid to use the force incase someone senses it, also explaining how much he aged
@MN5 can you remember where you might have heard that, never leaving tattoine?
Ha, coulda been one of those fan theories but it does fit don’t you think ? When we met him in ANH he didn’t even have a speeder bike or other vehicle much less a spaceship so I don’t see him doing much travel. He needed a ride with Luke to Mos Easley !
I agree about him being afraid to use the force too, even those scumbags on tattooine might rat him out to the Empire if they saw him doing Jedi shit. Even given how crap Storm Troopers had become by the original trilogy enough of them storming his hut would be able to wipe him out.

the last vader saw of obi he was a live and not with any troopers, so quite possible vader believes obi is alive and so we might get some vader trying to hunt him down, maybe obi has to fake his death to shake vader before properly going into exile

As far as Anakin was concerned his mum was his family. But yeah he would sense Luke so no DV on Tat

Moff Tarkin ( one of the most shrewd non force users in the series history ) also said that Obi Wan must have died years ago but I’m not sure if that was Tarkin trying to outsmart Vader ( unlikely ) or him underestimating Obi Wan ( who was still not even 60 years old by that stage )

maybe ultimately, like for several years but my "desperate man hunts for any last thread of the world he let be destroyed" works for immediately after we saw him last

No reason why they can't focus on a life before his exile as a hermit. Maybe he dropped the kid off and left for a while

that what im thinking and what @Kirwan kind of said, we might get this series spread over the full 20 years, a few episodes out looking, maybe a run in with DV, fake death, back to tattoine and a few episodes carving out a life growing old before his time

that might just be him assuming seeing as so many of the jedi were caught in order 66 or in the years immediately after, if you havent heard trace of one of the more prominent jedi for years then you might assume they had been caught

Don't forget that Obi Wan was also tracked down on Tatooine by Maul.

Yeah. I don't even see a major need to see DV a lot. Like other shows in the universe, there's plenty of space to explore

Agree normally, but it's a crucial part of Obi Wan's character arc.

As KW said, often, but just not every episode

I think we may see Yoda as well. There could well be a lot of gap filling done to show that there was a 'plan' all along and the force would see that Luke/ Leia were brought forward when the time was right.
Obi Wan would also be studying how to move on to being a force ghost, possibly with guidance from Qui-Gon (who has a 'very particular set of skills') -

He didn't seem to have a problem whipping out his light saber in Ep4. But maybe non Jedi used them at that stage? It is a farking cool weapon.

But it was only in the cantina when they were leaving. And as soon as he used it that gonzo looking spy informed the imperials
