That's not really Yoda as a baby. Just a member of the same race.

But based on the babies age (50 some odd years old) e could still be a Yoda clone

Hubris must be punished. Severely.

They are making an Obi-Wan series, so there will probably be more Skywalker stuff, at least to some degree.

There are also persistent rumors about some kind of Old Republic project.

Eh, quite sure there's plenty Obi Wan did without those Skywalker twats.

He was not yet a full Jedi when he met Anakin.  So unless this is going to be about the time he spent living as a hermit there isn't going to be much to tell that is not related to the Skywalker clan.

Well the idea is to use Ewan McGregor, so it certainly won't be about Kenobi's time as a Padawan, and rather his time on Tattoine,

But while we know young Luke perceived Kenobi as being something of a hermit, he made have had more going on his his life than we think.

But that being said, I'm pretty negative on prequels of existing characters, so unless they have just some really compelling story to be told I'd rather they just leave it alone.

After episode 9, I am no longer interested in Star Wars content.

 @BB They are going to have to break with the established story then.  At the end of III Obi Wan takes baby Luke to Tattooine and stays there as his protector.

your potential loss.  You take the good with the bad, really.

Apparently there's going to be a final season of CLone Wars, the animated show, which I'm interested in.  I'm interested in season 2 of Mandalorian.

I've still never watched Solo though.

If it looks like it's going to be good, I'll watch.  If it looks like it'll be bad, I won't.

I am aware of this.

Luke hardly knew Kenobi, so Kenobi had lots of time to be doing something.  He was there for 18-20 years.

Now, maybe it's just adventure among the jawas and sand people.  Really more of a western theme (though Mandalorian is leaning pretty hard in that direction).  Or of course maybe he leaves from time to time.

You will recall that Obi Wan did not even have a ship - that is why they met Han Solo.  He was not checking in on Luke in between adventures.  He was there for the duration.

1. Perhaps he still had his Jedi Starfighter - which is a single seater.

2. Perhaps he didn't have a shp when Luke met him, but he did earlier (and lost it somehow).


Finally, it's not like some inconsistencies haven't slipped in at this point anyways.  Remember Obi-wan saying to R2 "I don't remember ever owning a droid before"?  Well he had a droid in his aforementioned Jedi Starfighter, but of course he's known R2 for years and years in the prequels!

Perhaps that means not aged fast like the clone troopers but aged naturally a la Boba Fett.
