WMG / Obi-Wan Kenobi

Go To

Chalmun's Cantina will appear or be mentioned.

  • Jossed.

The Millennium Falcon will get a background cameo, but Han and Chewie will stay offscreen
  • Jossed.
Natalie Portman will reprise her role as Padmé.
  • Padmé would be seen in the Vader flashbacks back when he was Anakin. Alternatively, she could be seen in present time if Vader is haunted by guilt.
    • Semi-confirmed. In episode 1, she appears via archival footage during Obi-Wan's nightmare.

Jabba the Hutt will assist the Inquisitors.
  • Jossed.
There will be a feud between the Inquisitors and some bounty hunters.
  • The bounty hunters can't be too happy about Inquisitors robbing them of a source of income by hunting rich targets.
    • Sister Reva makes use of bounty hunters to force Obi-Wan into the open in the second episode, but she has no feud with them. Her fellow Inquisitors, on the other hand, do not approve of her plan or the bounty hunters' interference, and it's implied that they tortured or possibly killed at least one of them.

Other surviving Jedi will appear or be mentioned.
The previews heavily indicate their presence based on a conversation Obi-Wan is having with someone offscreen, and the Inquisitors seemingly questioning a prisoner in private, plus the experience they show in hunting Jedi. Whether or not any will survive is the question.

Almost all Jossed. Quinlan Vos gets mentioned, A new character named Nari gets a Sacrificial Lamb treatment, and at one point we see the corpse of Tera Sinube as a trophy in the Fortress Inquisitorius.

  • Oppo Rancsiss and/or Colman Kcaj might allow for a good Worf Effect scene or carry some gravitas due to their roles as surviving councilors.
  • Bariss Offee would be pretty recognizable, although she could also appear as a surprise Inquisitor.
  • Jay making a cameo, hopefully Beneath Notice, could be a Star Wars: Visions nod, and he has been on Tatooine.
    • It doesn’t seem that Jay and Star Waver have been to Tatooine yet in the timeframe the series takes place in. Obi-Wan is shown living in a cave rather than his hut, which appears in Tatooine Rhapsody. Not to mention Star Waver would want to be as far away from Jabba’s territory as possible considering the bounty on Gee’s head.
  • Quinlan Vos has also visited Tatooine in the Legends world, and he may have some recognition status.
    • Confirmed. While he doesn't appear in the flesh, he is explicitly referenced in Part III by Obi-Wan and Tala.
  • Some fans think Cal Kestis was set up in his video game for a live-action debut.
  • Master Uvell showing up could tie in interestingly with the sequel trilogy.
  • There are lots of Star Wars Legends Order 66 survivors who haven't even been confirmed to exist in this continuity who could be re-canonized, maybe in a Sacrificial Lamb way and maybe for something better, to throw a bone to Legends fans. Master Zao, Kai Hudorra, Kazdan Paratus, A'Sharad Hett, Roan Shyrne, Olee Starstone, Beyghor Sahdett, Larath Tarak, Obi-Wan's old friend Garen Muln, T'ra Saa, Ikrit, the Dark Woman, K'Kruhk, Dass Jennir, Jax Pavan, Zonder, Ephaan Kenzon, Halagad Ventor, Tsui Choi, Maris Brood, Scout, Ma'kiss'shaalas, Rahm Kota, Hylon, Cho'na Bene, Fy-Tor-Ana, Drake Lo'gaan, Ry-Gaul, Bardan Jusik, Ekria, Aqinos, Kina Ha, Empatojayos Brand, Glovan Thule, Sha Koon, Joc Sah, Djin Altis, Thracia Cho Leem, Arligan Zey, Siadem Forte, Nam Poorf, Vergere, Ferus Olin, Tsui Choi, Roblio Darté, Iwo Kulka, Jambe Lu, Deran Nulal, Sia-Lan Wezz, Koffi Arana, Antaria Wellos, Shadday Potkin, Klossi Anno, Beldorion the Hutt, Ylenic It'kla, Kento and Mallie Marek, Chase Piru, the Soaring Hawkbat Clan, Bon, Nia, Dorin Se'ol, the warden of the Ghost Prism, Echuu Shen-Jon, Jerec, Celeste Morne, Lora Nadad, Dray, Bre'ano Umakk, Fable Astin's mother, Elaiza, Jimbo Kinnison, Tao, Pann, and Jastus Farr are all interesting and unique Jedi who could be good for this story under certain circumstances.
    • The names Zonder, Ekria, Djinn Altis, and Rahm Kota appear on the wall of the Path's safe house (written in Aurebesh), as do several other Legends Jedi not mentioned above, although their statuses as Order 66 survivors are not yet confirmed.
  • The four Jedi from Star Wars: Uprising. Obi-Wan could be ret-conned into seeing the last of them get killed.
  • Rael Aveross and/or Lene Kostana (who are both currently unaccounted for after Order 66) could show up and have some interesting interactions with Obi-Wan or Vader due to their history with Dooku and Qui-Gon respectively.
  • Legends Jedi who don't survive Order 66 (or even the Clone Wars or earlier conflicts) will show up with a Spared by the Adaptation treatment. It already happened to Oppo Rancisis, after all. Etain Tur-Mukan, Knol Ven'nari, Xian Ameersu, Ronhar Kim, Sharad Hett, Foul Moudama, B'dard Tone, Serra Keto, Fay, Siri Tachi, Darra Thel-Tanis, Tru Veld, Jon Antilles, Nico and Tae Diath, Zule Xiss, Glaive, Elora Sund, Kass Tod, Vaabesh, Aubrie Wyn, Wendo Nend, Sian Jiesel, Tyvokka, Rhad Tarn, Micah Giett, Mak Lotor, Bhat Jul, Mira, Obs Kaj, Perce, J'Mikel, Rii'ke En, Shon Kon Ray, Leska, and Tohno are all possibilities, albeit slim ones.
  • One of the main Jedi from Star Wars: The High Republic, given how Jedi tend to be Long-Lived.
    • Semi-confirmed. Tera Sinube, who was created for The Clone Wars but appears in The High Republic is seen as a frozen corpse in the Fortress Inquisitorius.

The events of Star Wars: Kenobi will be referenced by locals who like Obi-Wan.

Darth Maul may meet an Inquisitor and either pick a fight or offer to make the Inquisitor his apprentice.
  • Not super likely, considering that Rebels implied Obi-Wan and Maul hadn't seen each other in a long time.
  • Jossed.

Masana Tide will appear and have a Heel–Face Turn.
Jossed.

Commander Cody will appear
It's still unknown what happened to Cody post-Order 66 in canon, and he has a preexisting relationship with Obi-Wan. He would be interesting either as a villain if he still serves the empire or a hero if he defected. And we already know Temuera Morrison is available.
  • Possible as Morrison has shown up in the second episode as a clone trooper beggar.
    • While that guy's a 501st Trooper, it's still possible that Cody could show up somehow.
  • Jossed, he will be back for the second season of The Bad Batch Season Two however.
Obi-Wan will fight an Inquisitor over the Sarlaac pit, and that scene will also be where the Sarlacc eats the stormtrooper from The Book of Boba Fett.
  • Jossed.
 
Alderaan will appear, and its surface will be seen in detail.
  • Confirmed. There's even big time elaboration on Leia's childhood.

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina characters not featured in From a Certain Point of View (Reegesk, Ariq etc.) will appear.
Jossed.

Korkie will appear, having become a refuge after the destruction of his homeworld (if that's happened yet), and providing an outlet for Obi-Wan to talk about his relationship with Satine.

  • Jossed.

R2-D2 and C-3PO will briefly appear along with one of their owners from Star Wars: Droids (like Thall Joben or Mungo Baobob), while talking about how they need to get back to Captain Antilles.
  • C-3PO is seen as a cameo in the first episode.

There will be a Flock of Wolves scene when several people gathered or traveling together all turn out to be either Jedi or Imperial agents but none of them knew it.
Jossed.

One Order 66 survivor will publicly flaunt their past and Force skills and have fallen to the Dark Side while still opposing and rejecting the Empire, such as a mercenary, warlord, or pirate.
  • Barris Offee would be excellent in that role, having fallen to the Dark Side before the end of the war and become a Defector from Decadence, claiming the Jedi have betrayed their principles.
Jossed

Dr. Cylo will appear and have some dealings with the Inquisitors.
  • Jossed.

Obi-Wan and Owen will try to learn more about Anakin through each other's knowledge and insight and if Owen doesn't already know Anakin is Vader, there will be a strong Internal Reveal.
  • Not quite confirmed, somewhat Jossed. Obi-Wan and Owen both thought Anakin was dead, and Obi-Wan learns in the second episode that he's alive.

One Order 66 survivor will be powerful enough to make an Inquisitor flee as soon as the two see each other.
Jossed

One or more Order 66 survivor is/are training a new generation of Jedi who weren't tied to the order but ends/end up attracting the attention of the Inquisitors.
  • Several Legends Jedi from video games or roleplaying games could fill that role, and watching such efforts fail can make Obi-Wan contemplative about whether he'll ever train Luke.
  • This is a strong candidate; the prologue of the first episode shows some Younglings running from Order 66 and the second episode gives us Haja Estree, who smuggles a child (implied to be force sensitive) and his mother to safety and tells Obi-Wan "There are those who can help you" when he smuggles him to safety. It's been ten years, so Haja could be working with those Younglings, now old enough to be Padawan learners, albeit without knights or masters to guide them.
    • This is partly confirmed in Episode 2, partly Jossed in Episode 5. Haja is working with The Path, who smuggle force sensitives to safety with the help of at least one Jedi, Quinlon Vos. However, Episode 5 reveals the younglings we saw in the first episode did not escape the Temple, but ran straight into Lord Vader, who promptly killed them, except for Reva, who survived and played dead.

A major theme will be Obi-Wan observing how many people believe the Empire's lies about Jedi and what people who are too you young to remember the Jedi think.
  • Not a major theme thus far, but in the third episode Obi Wan and Leia do meet a character who is supportive of the Empire, citing "order" as the main reason.
  • Beyond that, no, the rest of the series focuses on the effort to rescue Leia, Obi-Wan's conflict with Vader, and Reva's search for revenge.

At least one Jedi will remain true to the Light Side but prefer civilian life to being a Jedi and refuse to return to being a Jedi under any circumstances.
  • Obi-Wan himself does this, at least initially until he's forced back into action to save a 10 year old Leia.

Obi-Wan will be invited to something like the Conclave on Kessel from Legends and may have to tell other Jedi about Anakin's identity.
Jossed

The reference book confirming Shaak Ti's death will be retconned.
  • There could be a great Bait-and-Switch moment with a Togruta Jedi who initially looks like Ahsoka Tano but turns out to be Shaak Ti.
Jossed

Vader has somehow managed to temporarily restore his body
Vader's appearance has not been seen in the trailers, which suggests they might be hiding something about this. Hayden Christensen's Role Reprise suggests we might see his face, so maybe he's somehow restored his body. Of course, the show will undo this and he will have to go back in the suit, but it would be a neat twist that would confront Obi-Wan with the corruption of his Padawan in a whole new way.
  • Jossed: The end of the second episode showed his disfigured form in a bacta tank.

Galen Marek / Starkiller will appear as an Inquisitor.

Dave Filoni wanted to include him in the second season of Star Wars Rebels but couldn’t find a place for him in the story. He may be teased as being more valued by Vader than the other Inquisitors, echoing his role in Legends.

Jossed

Biggs and Luke's other friends will appear.
Jossed, the only one of the group we see is Luke.

The Empire will recruit or consider recruiting Force users who aren't ex-Jedi to join or assist the Inquisitors.
  • Adalric Brandl, his son, Ladinnare Torbin and other Legends characters could show up this way. Maybe even with Emperor's Hands like Mara Jade, Shira Brie, and Sai Cuis thrown in.
    • This may be how Naare gets involved in Imperial service.
  • This is confirmed in the second episode. The Grand Inquisitor despises Reva/Third Sister for her origin "from the gutters". She has a role in the Inquisitors due to her strength in the Force, but will never be allowed to advance because of her background.
    • That doesn't confirm it as Reva could have been one of the younglings that escaped from the temple and lived on the streets for a time before joining the Inquisitors.
    • Turns out it's a bit of both. in Episode 5, Reva reveals that she was a youngling that barely survived being stabbed by Vader, faked her death, and lived on the streets for a time before being recruited as an Inquisitor due to her strength. But then subverted, because Vader knew she was a former youngling out for revenge.

There will be a small gag where Owen and Beru both get mildly burned by something, like a hot cooking vessel or bit of machinery. Alternatively/additionally, after hearing what happened to Anakin, they'll react with expressions like "Can't imagine," or "I'd hate to go through that."
Jossed

One of the younglings in the opening episode was Reva.
  • One of the kids is played by an African American with braided hair. Which is kind of sad, her speech on Tatooine about how jedi wouldn't help any of the people there and yet a jedi died protecting her.
  • Confirmed. Not only was she one of those younglings, they didn't escape the Temple. Vader left her for dead and she barely survived, escaping to the streets and seeking revenge.

The reason why Reva is so hellbent on hunting Obi-Wan cause he did something that cause her to despises him
When it comes to other Jedi, she views them as minor obstacle but when it comes to Obi-Wan, she want to kill him once and for all and I bet either he did something that cause her to lose something that was important to her or what.
  • Possible reason? Obi Wan had promised that he would take her as his Padawan learner when the war was ended and hates him for not fulfilling his promise, leaving her to be tortured by the Empire.
  • It appears she's doing it for ambition; she wants to hand him over to Vader in order to advance in the Inqutisitorius, where she's despised for her lower-class background.
    • Turned out she did hate him because Anakin was his padawan, but she hates Anakin more.

Haja was telling the truth and he actually is helping people
While willing to take money from people Haja wasn't selling them off into slavery or passing them to the Empire. He honestly was working to help people, possibly for the Rebellion.

Hell, he may have been telling the truth. That kid did have force powers and Haja was sending him to people who could help, maybe even the younglings we saw running from Order 66 at the beginning of the first episode. He certainly appears to be a huge fan of the Jedi and risked his life facing an Inquisitor on Obi-Wan's behalf.

  • Confirmed in the third episode.

The Younglings survived Order 66 and are gathering force-sensitive children
They employ people like Haja Estree, people who remember and revere the Jedi, and they're the people waiting for Obi-Wan on Mapuzo.
  • Confirmed and Jossed. Chapter V confirms that Reva was one of the younglings, and she played dead to avoid being killed by Vader. The rest are dead.

Reva’s backstabbing will cause the decline of the Inquisitorius and their eventual extinction.
Tarkin says Vader is the last of the Jedi in A New Hope, so that must mean the Inquisitors had died out by then. Reva’s ambition and willingness to in-fight with and seriously harm her fellow Inquisitors is the beginning of the end for the organization, with the four seen in Rebels being the last four left alive before eventually being killed by Maul.Jossed. Vader always knew who and what she was, and she was never a threat to the Inquisitorius.

Vader will kill Reva.
Pretty much Jossed. He's so contemptuous of her he stabs her but leaves her alive on Jabiim.

After her motivations are explained, Reva will have a last moment change of heart before being killed by Vader.
  • Jossed: Her plan the entire time was to kill Vader.

Kenobi will defeat Vader eventually
While Kenobi is indeed rusty after years of inaction, Vader has stated that the last time they met, Vader was the learner, except we learn here that it's not Mustafar when they last met before Vader kills him. It's here and it's all but confirmed there will be a fight between them here, so it's quite possible Kenobi will eventually return back to shape by dueling Vader and possibly the Inquisitors... Perhaps he may be pressured to retreat in the first fight, since he's rusty, but after defeating the Inquisitors, he would have regained back his bearings and thus be able to match and beat Vader. After all, we do see that he can curb-stomp Maul, so i think he'll have to engage in duels to regain that much shape.
  • We also don't know if Vader at this point is the same Vader that killed Kenobi. He could have still been adjusting to his cybernatics, so he may not be in such a great condition as well and thus possible to be beaten even if Kenobi remains rusty, and if his former master is back at full strength, then the fight may even be a Curb Stomp Cushion as Kenobi beats Vader rather decisively because he is fit and leaves him raging and motivated into developing his skills for their last rematch that ends in Vader winning.
  • A rematch between Kenobi and Vader would almost certainly have Kenobi getting the best of the match, but we know both survive for the final match in A New Hope. Intensity wise, it's going to be somewhere in-between their two previous fights (the epic battle in Revenge of the Sith and careful defensive duel in A New Hope). Kenobi seems to have cut himself off from the force while on Tatooine (though he reconnected to save Leia), while Vader is still the learner... of the dark side.
  • Confirmed. Although he doesn't fight the Inquisitors at all, he still loses to Vader in their first fight but afterwards, finally actively wielding his lightsaber allowed him to indeed return to his full shape after he single-handedly infiltrates Fortress Inquisitorius, killing many Stormtroopers, and defends the Patch, culminating in a decisive win against Vader in their second duel but leaves him behind after seeing just how far Anakin has fallen.

When Obi-Wan does defeat Vader, it will involve the front of Vader's helmet getting slashed off in a shower of sparks, visually reminiscent of Luke beheading the Dark Spirit construct of Vader in The Empire Strikes Back.
This leads to Vader's defeat due to his oxygen system being heavily damaged, but it would also allow the characters to have a meaningful face-to-face moment, perhaps as a parallel to the end of ROTJ as well.

  • Confirmed!

More of order 66 will be revealed including how Grogu got away.
Jossed

Anakin will appear as portrayed by a de-aged Hayden Christensen in a flashback
  • Sort of, in the third episode he appears as a hooded Anakin, but as a hallucination seen by Obi Wan rather than a flashback. The shot is too distant to see whether Hayden has been digitally de-aged.
  • Confirmed in the fifth episode, in which we get a full sparring session flashback between Obi Wan and an Attack of the Clones era Anakin. However, they didn't bother de-aging either of them, instead cleaning up their appearances somewhat with makeup.

Vader will actually encounter Leia but will not recognize her as his daughter.
Jossed, they never get screen time together

Darth Sidious will appear either as a hologram or in a scene with Vader .

  • Confirmed.

Yoda will appear and somehow assist Obi Wan

  • Jossed.

Obi Wan will try to turn Anakin back to the light, as evidenced by Vader saying "Obi wan once thought as you do" to Luke in Return of the Jedi.

  • Confirmed. He tries to reach him, but Vader despite appearing briefly vulnerable ultimately rejects him, explaining why he believed Vader was unredeemable.

We will see Tarkin at some point.
  • Jossed
Leia's robot Lola will play an important role later on.
  • Confirmed, as the Third Sister uses Lola as a tracking device.

Obi Wan will fight Vader with Anakin's old saber instead of/besides his own.
  • Jossed

We will see Vader having painful flashbacks or memories of his past and of Padme.
  • Jossed

Mon Mothma will appear.
  • Jossed

Black Krrssntan will appear and try to capture Obi Wan.
  • Jossed

Obi Wan will recognize signs of force sensitivity in Leia and tell Bail that she too should be trained as. Jedi but Bail will refuse.
  • Jossed

We will See Obi Wan and Luke interact at some point.
  • Confirmed! Owen and he reconcile, as Obi-Wan recognizes Luke needs Owen more than himself at this moment, and Owen finally lets them meet. Obi-Wan even gets to give Luke his toy directly!

By the end of the series we will see or at least hear Qui Gon Jinn as Obi Wan finally manages to commune with him

  • Confirmed.

We will see Vader choke at least one underling.

  • Confirmed, he chokes Reva in Episode 4.

The Grand Inquisitor is dead, and has been dead throughout all of his appearances after this point.
In Star Wars Rebels, the Grand Inquisitor states there are fates worse than death before letting himself drop into the burning wreckage of the Star Destroyer. In Star Wars (Marvel 2015), he appears as a Dark Side Ghost and is defeated by Luke Skywalker. His cursed afterlife is tied to his servitude to Vader. It’s possible that the Grand Inquisitor seen in Rebels is something of a “Dark Side Zombie,” resurrected by Vader in exchange for eternal service to his Lord.
  • Alternatively, he was alive but died when Reva stabbed him...when Reva inevitably fails to bring in Obi-Wan and dies for her failure, Vader will clone and revive the Grand Inquisitor and reinstate him to his post. Thus setting him up as the Canon equivalent of Bevel Lemelisk from Legends, doomed to be repeatedly killed, cloned, and RE-killed in service of Vader. His death in Rebels was the last straw for a very frustrated Vader— rather than giving him a new body, he instead bound his spirit to the Jedi Temple on Tempes for all eternity.

Jossed: He survived his injury.

The Inquisitors are the younglings who appeared to escape in the cold open
  • Only Reva can possibly be one of them among the Inquisitors as those younglings were all human and she is currently the only human among the current Inquisitors. The only other known human Inquisitor was Trilla, who was a padawan before being captured and turned and she was killed five years prior to this series.
  • It appears this isn't the case, at least not for Reva, as the Grand Inquisitor scorns her gutter origins and says she'll never advance in the Inquisitorius as a result.
    • Unless she escaped from the temple and lived on the streets for a time.
      • Confirmed: She was one of the younglings, barely surviving a blow from Vader and escaping to live on the streets before joining the Inquisitors.

The kid named Corran in "Part II" is the canon version of Corran Horn
He has the same name and his mother is trying to smuggle him off Daiyu because he is Force-sensitive, much like the Legends version who discovered he was Force-sensitive (being descended from a Jedi) and eventually became a Jedi Knight himself. Haja might have been lying about the boy's affinity for the Force, but he was otherwise sincere in trying to help the pair as much as he could, so that detail seems unlikely to be untrue. With the events of the episode happening in about 9 BBY, that squares relatively well with the Legends version of Corran Horn who was born in 18 BBY; perhaps this version is simply native to Daiyu rather than Corellia.
  • The evidence is mounting as of "Part III", with the name of Corran Horn's Legends father being seen in Aurebesh on the walls of the Path's hideout.

At least one member of The Ghost Crew will make an appearance
The show takes place roughly 4 years before Rebels starts, so it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. Possibly only as a brief cameo, but who knows?

  • Jossed

Hoss Kerin/Don-Wan Kihotay will appear as an associate of Haja
  • Kerin is another Jedi fanboy who has some skills and pretends to be a Jedi during the Empire's reign in Legends. If he doesn't appear, maybe Haja is an Expy of him.
    • For that matter, maybe Baze and Chirrut will show up in that way, as they're also non-Jedi protectors of Jedi traditions.

Jossed

Obi-Wan will have another talk with Owen and either tell him that Anakin is Vader or refrain from telling him at the last moment.

Jossed. He neither tells him nor decides not to. They just have a heart to heart about Luke.

Despite his dislike for sand, Vader will actually show up in Tatooine and come very close to finding Like. The experience will make Owen even more scared of Luke ever leaving and/or having anything to do with Obi Wan
  • Jossed

A young Boba Fett will appear portrayed by Daniel Logan.
  • Jossed.

Watto will make an appearance.
  • Jossed.

Sebulba will make an appearance.
  • Jossed.

Anakin's childhood friend Kitster will make an appearance.
  • Jossed.

At one point, Obi Want will fight Vader using both his and Anakin's lightsabers.
  • Jossed.

We will meet Obi Wan's brother
The show has Obi Wan mention that he has a younger brother out there. While this might have just been an easter egg considering Obi Wan is hoping from planet to planet as well as the theme of family running through the show it is possible that his brother will appear.

  • Jossed

The Path works for the Empire
Them claiming to have smuggled many Jedi to safety yet them not being around later on makes it possible for them to be a front, leading Jedi survivors to their deaths or new recruits for the Inquisitors.
  • This seems very unlikely as Tala kept Vader from capturing Kenobi. Then there is Reva having to look for the secret doors and killing the pilot. If this was a front none of that would be necessary. More likely is that they were active just never seen or the Empire found them and dismantled their operation.

Jossed

Reva's ultimate goal is to kill Vader
The whole reason Reva is so hell-bent on becoming Vader's right hand is that she wants to be close enough to him (and trusted enough) to have a shot at killing him. She is probably one of the Padawans who survived the attack on the Temple, which might be why she knows he is Anakin Skywalker; because she saw his face when he was slaughtering younglings. She is eager to avenge her old padawan friends and teachers, and hopefully bring down the Emperor's right hand in one strike. This is why she is fixated on Obi Wan (the only trophy Vader will appreciate enough to give Reva whatever she wants in return), and also why she expresses that she wishes they (the other Inquisitors and herself) will get what they deserve, as she knows she has done terrible things in her relentless pursuing of this goal. Ultimately, she will probably fail and die heroically trying to protect Obi Wan or Leia.
  • Confirmed for the most part, except for her dying heroically as of the fifth episode.

Reva will find out Leia is Anakin's daughter
By mind probing either Kenobi or Leia herself, she will reach this conclusion, but die before she is able to tell Vader.

  • Jossed. It's ambiguous, but she probably doesn't know any of that by the end of the series, and would only have been able to find out through the message Bail left on Obi-Wan's damaged communicator.

The Grand Inquisitor will kill Reva
Due to Rebels we know the Inquisitor is still alive. He will return at the very end of the series and kill Reva for her failure, also bringing the Inquisitors back in line.Jossed. Vader and the Grand Inquisitor don't even bother. Now that she's useless, they leave her badly injured, but alive, on Jabiim.

Obi-wan's biological brother is Rey's maternal grandfather
Obi-wan establishes in Part III that he had a biological baby brother who he barely remembers, because he was taken in by the Jedi when he was a toddler. The Rise of Skywalker established that Rey's father was the clone-son of Emperor Palpatine...but who were her mother's family? Could her mother's father have been Obi-wan's younger brother?

This leads to two possibilities: 1 - it was "the will of the Force" that Kenobi's niece would fall in love with Palpatine's escaped clone-son, or 2 - Palpatine actively sought out Kenobi's relatives, arranging the union of his niece with Palpatine's clone, breeding them like cattle to try to make a powerful vessel for his spirit to transfer into.

Obi-Wan will run into Vos on Jabiim
And Vos, the sarcastic maverick that he is, will give Obi-Wan the kick in the pants needed to get over himself, pull his shit together, find his peace, and give Anakin another smack down.
  • Jossed.

If/when Obi-Wan and Anakin go to Jabiim, the events of the comic book arc about the Battle of Jabiim will get Broad Strokes mentions.
  • The Padawan pack (Zule, Tae, Vaabesh etc.), the Jabiim Nationalists and Loyalists, Obi-Wan being MIA before Anakin's knighthood (meaning before the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Anakin abandoning local soldiers to save clones could all be interesting worldbuilding.

Jossed

The Path is taking people to hide out in the Unknown Regions
  • This would be a convenient way to make Tarkin's claim that Vader is "all that's left of their religion" accurate while also letting plenty of Jedi still be alive outside of the Empire's domain. This could also set up a large, organized remans of the Jedi to appear in the upcoming Ashoka spinoff, given implications that show will feature her looking for Thrawn and Ezra in uncharted space.

Leia's other relatives besides Celly (who were first mentioned in The Callista Trilogy) will either appear as relatives of hers on Bail's side of the family or be Composite Characters with Celly and her son.
  • The idea of Leia having an adoptive cousin with a Jedi parent has a lot of potential (Duke Kayo not being Niano's biological father could make his "Well Done, Son" Guy feelings a clever bit of Foreshadowing). More importantly, though, watching Vivien Lyra Blair's Leia naming her aunt's cuddly new pet All-Terrain Attack Vehicle has the potential for great hilarity and cuteness.

Jossed. We don't meet any more relatives after she gets kidnapped.

The Fifth Brother will lose his eyes to Reva.
  • While the Grand Inquisitor's eyes were digitally editted post-production, the Fifth Brother's appear perfectly in contact in contrast to his cataracts in Rebels. While Fifth's survival is Foregone Conclusion in his rivalry with Reva, nothing says she can't do any permanent damage to him.

Jossed.

Obi-Wan will see a vision of his final duel with Vader aboard the Death Star.
In A New Hope Obi-Wan is incredibly calm and almost cocky at times during their duel, taunting Vader with his new title (see the wry smile when he says, "you can't win, Darth.") This is despite the fact that he is moments away from death. He may have learned how to become a force ghost, but he was still going to die.

Towards the end of the series, Obi-wan will finally make contact with Qui-Gon Jinn's force ghost, and part of this will involve a vision of the fated duel. This means Obi-Wan will be going into this fight knowing the outcome, hence why he is so confident battling Vader for the last time.

  • Jossed. They fight again and Obi-Wan leaves him to die. (and once again it doesn't happen)

Reva will survive to be an antagonist in future installments
  • The series seems to be clearly setting her up for a duel with Obi-Wan or a You Have Failed Me execution, so subverting those expectations could be quite clever.
    • She and Obi-Wan part on, apparently, good terms at the end of Part VI after she finds herself unable to kill Luke. Obi-Wan reassures her that You Are Better Than You Think You Are and that by not following in Vader's footsteps, she has brought her fellow younglings to peace. It would be a shame to see her not complete her Redemption Arc, but not entirely unsurprising to see her return to the Dark Side.

Reva will now head for Tatooine to try and kill Luke.
  • Having failed to kill Vader she will now see the only way to get revenge on him is to kill his son.
    • She doesn't necessarily know Luke is Vader's son, she just heard about "the children", "the boy", and "Owen", so might just assume he's a force sensitive child and will hunt him for revenge on Obi-Wan now that she knows she's wildly outclassed by Vader.
    • Confirmed.

Most of Part VI will take place on Tatooine
  • Vader will show up early in the last episode, Obi-Wan will defeat him and escape (showing he's returned to tranquility), and allowing a nice bookend with their first duels, the one in A New Hope and the one in Part III. He gets away only to get a message from Reva demanding he face her on Tatooine and he'll have to race there. Now that she knows she can't go against Vader, she'll settle for the man who failed as his teacher.

50/50. The action is divided between Kenobi dueling Vader on some rocky planet and Reva fighting Beru and Owen in her hunt for Luke.

Was that Cere Junda in the Fortress Inquisitorius?
One of the Jedi in the trophy room is a dark skinned woman wearing a parka. As a show of affection for Cal, she could have adopted his habit of wearing them before getting captured some time after Fallen Order.

Obi Wan briefly managed to get through to Anakin in their duel
Note that despite claiming that "Anakin is gone. I am all that remains" Vader immediately follows this up (in response to Obi Wan's apology for his state) that "I am not your failure, Obi Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did." And during all of this, he's bathed in the blue light of Obi Wan's lightsaber. Perhaps in that brief moment, Anakin managed to briefly turn back to the light, but believing he was past redemption he offered redemption to Obi Wan by absolving him of his part in his turn to the darkside.

The Grand Inquisitor's relationship with Darth Vader doesn't seem to be of mutual respect—not just because of the general lack of camaraderie among Dark-siders, but more because of their history as Jedi.
The little we know of the Grand Inquisitor when he was still the Sentinel suggested he was a very status-conscious Jedi (hence his own contempt against erstwhile Padawan Reva), similarly resentful of not getting to advance beyond his desires (as shown in Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith. Being subjected to the command/oversight of Vader, formerly the "bad boy poster child" of the Order, probably still grates on him (especially when Vader shows himself to be as impulsive as he was when he was still a Jedi, as he did in Part VI). Hell, it might even inform his subsequent fear and choice of Better to Die than Be Killed too: beyond his fear of Vader's proficiency in the Sith arts and what he'd do to him, he resented not going on his own terms as prideful Force-user. Alas, it was not to be.
Reva is Finn's mother
Force sensitivity is sometimes hereditary. The Imperial Remnant were probably pissed at Reva for possibly leaving the Inquistors and defecting from the Empire. Or maybe they didn't know and it was a total coincidence.
Vader intentionally let Reva live
In the series, there's no real reason given as to why Vader didn't make sure Reva was dead, especially when he's killed people for far less. While he would NEVER admit it, it's possible that Vader actually does feel a bit bad about killing the younglings, and so decided to spare the one survivor. Most likely by intentionally missing her vitals, knowing she would probably survive.
