Actually this is headline grabbing nonsense.
At the end of the prequels Obi wan left aniline for dead.. he did not know he had been rescued and made into Vader…
By the original Star Wars he knew who he was…
This story happens between the two… so it is the moment he learned Anakin is not dead which he thinks he is, but is alive and now Vader.
That's simply incorrect. Anakin was also not "made into Vader" - he already was Vader and Obi-Wan knew he had become a Sith and had been that given that Sith name prior to their confrontation at Mustafar.
Correct. Obi Wan is much younger in this series than the events of SW, and takes place only what - 8 years after Mustafar. How old is Lea? 8 of 9? I read a short interview of one of the directors and she made it clear that Vader was “still becoming Vader.” The scene where Obi Wan first SEES Vader as Vader is played perfectly by Ewan McGregor, IMHO. He genuinely looks shocked and scared shitless.
Exactly.
He went into DEEP hiding, keeping an eye on the boy as directed by Yoda.
If all he did was cut up giant sand fish out in the desert and go to Mos Eisly to get the occasional supplies, how would he know?
I like the story so far with Obi Wan. Do not like Reva at all, terrible actress and storyline. The Princess Leia rescue comes very close to breaking canon... I just rewatched A New Hope and Leia doesn’t really react to Vader “killing” Obi Wan. She just puts a blanket on Luke’s shoulderes and says “There’s nothing you could have done...” Not a thing about knowing Kenobi as her previous rescuer and companion.
