First look as Disney unveil their Obi-Wan Kenobi Limited Series

I get what you're saying but Obi-Wan wasn't that active. He stayed in Tatooene a length of time, just doing not much at all, other than making sure that the boy was safe. Making him more active would rewrite some of that history. It's better that this is only a limited series.

Perhaps he was keeping a low profile, apart from only changing half of his name. What would his Star Wars name be? Let’s see, his first initials plus the first letter of the last thing he ate (lettuce, maybe?) so instead of keeping “Kenobi” where any aimless stormtrooper might easily find him, he could be OWL - the wise old bird who advises Pooh in the ways of The Force before meeting his old nemesis Darth Heffalump.

I like to imagine that "Kenobi" is the Star Wars equivalent of "Smith." So everyone gets "mock-up" credit cards in the mail that say BEN KENOBI on them.
 
"It takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, in a time of darkness in the galaxy," Harold explained. "The Empire is in the ascendancy. And all the horrors that come with the Empire are being made manifest throughout the galaxy. And the Jedi Order as we know them are being all but wiped out. So everything that was in the prequels has crumbled."

At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Order 66 wiped out the majority of all living Jedi. Obi-Wan is one of the few who survived, and it's up to those like him to redefine what being a Jedi actually means.

"Those surviving Jedi, those that do survive, are on the run and they're in hiding. And Vader and his Inquisitors are chasing them to the end of the galaxy," the writer continued "Within that hopeless fatalistic world, we find possibly the most famous of all our surviving Jedi in hiding struggling with that faith that defines the Jedi, and wanting to hold onto it and hoping to regain that faith within that sort of hopeless world."

Harold went on to say that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series helps transform the iconic character into the version played by Alec Guinness, who fans were first introduced to in A New Hope.

"Within that environment and that galaxy, his faith is tested," Harold said. "And he goes on a journey that allows him to travel from that character that we saw in the last of the prequels, where [McGregor] really felt like he was embodying Obi-Wan Kenobi to a pretty extraordinary degree, and ends with him as the more finished article that Sir Alec Guinness gave to the world in A New Hope. And so in this very specific time in the history of Star Wars, when the Jedi are on run, we get to sort of stand next to and watch Obi-Wan as he runs the gauntlet and has to survive a pretty extraordinary experience."
 
Well, it's no longer just a "Limited" series...

And as for him keeping a "low profile" in season one... ;)
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to hear that season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi finally has a release date! As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I've been eagerly anticipating this series ever since it was announced. I absolutely loved Ewan McGregor's portrayal of Obi-Wan in the prequel films, and I can't wait to see him reprise the role in this series.

I'm also curious to see where the story goes in season 2. The first season left us with a lot of questions, such as what Darth Vader's role will be in the series and how Obi-Wan will navigate his relationship with Luke Skywalker. I'm hoping that season 2 will give us some answers and also expand on some of the new characters introduced in the first season.

Overall, I'm thrilled to have a release date for season 2 and can't wait to see what's in store for Obi-Wan Kenobi and the rest of the characters in this series! :love::love::love:
 
It looks to me as if there is more smoke then fire. Quoted from above article:

The Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 release date has not been confirmed as of April 2023, because a new season of the show hasn’t been greenlit yet.
