Could we all stop commenting on the appearance of a 9 year old child, please? Whether you think she looks her age or not, I don’t think this is a good look for us.

that's my assumption. some kind of young jedi-person during order 66.
For her to spend 10 years hunting Kenobi, she has to have a reason, especially as a young-ish character (20s)
sorry, I was on page 2 and not caught up.

I was surprised that the story touched so directly on the main plot line of the films. I have a few thoughts on this:
Obi-Wan takes an almost identical position to Luke's when he first appears in the sequel trilogy. I.e. "the time of the jedi is over". I was a bit surprised to hear this coming out of Obi-Wan's mouth. Clearly he'll need to reverse this by the end of the series, so he can be the person we see in episode IV that trains and passes the tradition on to Luke.
The thing that pulls him back into the action, i.e. "save Princess Leia", is the same call he answered in episode IV. He also pulls a similar move, "sacrificing" himself to allow the princess to escape.
The revelation that Vader survived their last meeting makes Obi-Wan aware of his own culpability not only in the failure of the jedi but in the deaths of those who have been hunted down by the inquisitors. What he does with this knowledge will be critical to the next episode. Does he seek to finish the job he left incomplete, or does he find some other synthesis having to do with the prophecy of the One? I expect this will be resolved with the understanding that it's Luke who must confront Vader.

The important word being "almost" in that he's not advocating for the Jedi to end, since he makes it clear to Owen that he still wants to train Luke once he's old enough. Obi-Wan is very much in survival mode when we first see him, but he's not interested in burning it all to the ground like old Luke is. He's just trying to hang in there until the time is right for him to come out of hiding again ...
I am anticipating another showdown between Obi-Wan and Vader, which will put a new spin on Vader's EP 4 comment about sensing a presence he hasn't felt since conveniently whenever.

On the other hand, that may have been voluntary on his part, a method to achieve transcendence.
Or maybe I'm just stirring the pot again.

Evil always seems harder to kill. Look at all the Jedi who died just from some blaster fire during Order 66.
Troopers can only hit during the turn Order 66 is given, clearly.

It's hard to overcome the power of plot.
