What Dreams May Come: An Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Exploring Regret, Redemption and Sith Artifacts

Long have fans clamored for a new Obi-Wan Kenobi film or series that delves into the moments before Obi-Wan's departure to the desert planet of Tatooine. Fans are eagerly awaiting the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, set between events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV A New Hope, but some have proposed an alternative storyline. What if the series depicted Obi-Wan's self-imposed exile with added layers of trauma, hallucinations, and unexpected allies and adversaries?

A Time of Despair and Redefinition

Obi-Wan's self-imposed exile on Tatooine is a critical moment in his life. However, this series could reframe his experience, allowing for a comprehensive look into his post-traumatic stress, depression, and hallucinations. Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit will play a pivotal role, turning this into a miniuture of the Temptation of Christ, with Qui-Gon as a guiding light, Anakin as a fractured reflection, and Darth Vader as the Dark Side looming over everything.

Maul Returns and the Rise of the Warlord

The return of Darth Maul injects a new layer of tension into the story. A warlord named Krayt leads a Tusken Raider tribe, driven by the quest for an ancient Sith artifact believed to be buried deep in the desert. This artifact adds a high stakes element to the narrative, representing power and the potential for corruption.

Recognizing the alliance between Krayt and the empire's notorious crime lord, Jabba the Hutt, you have a blending of narrative elements that span from independent Tusken Raiders to the imperial underworld, all converging on Emperor Palpatine's efforts to control both sides.

A New Hero and an Unexpected Heroic Journey

The story could be further enhanced by a young Jawa named Wittin, a slave brought to Tatooine and given a second chance by the Jawa healing ritual. Reflexive of the transformation from a modern-day hero to a former queen, Wittin's journey from a fugitive to a trusted companion and guide for Obi-Wan adds a layer of compassion and innocence against the backdrop of betrayal and darkness.

Rescuing Slaves and Standing Against Darkness

After recovering, Obi-Wan embarks on a journey to assist the Jawa elders in freeing the slaves and stopping the Tusken Raiders. Owning, Patrick, a character from Star Wars Rebels, could play a crucial role in this quest, aiding in the rescue and offering a mix of traditional wisdom and new perspectives. This multifaceted narrative marks a turning point in Obi-Wan's life, allowing him to find purpose and a new family amidst the chaos of the galaxy.

Conclusion: A Road to Redemption and Future Sequel Potential

The series offers a unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of Obi-Wan's psyche, showcasing not only his struggles but his resilience and growth. It paves the way for a more nuanced and multi-dimensional portrayal of a beloved character and hints at a potential connection to Star Wars Rebels.
