Re: Speculation : Hot Toys "The Mandalorian" Figures
I've never understood the hype for Kenobi solo adventures because they've focused on him almost as much as they have on Anakin/Vader already. What conclusion of his story is there left to tell? I'm just legit curious about what people want from a Kenobi show so bad because to me, there'll never really be any stakes.
At least Cassian can build on being able to see what the early stages of the Rebellion was like from a "Grand scale" in live-action. The thought of the 20 years of Kenobi on Tattooine just makes me think Tom Hanks in Castaway, minus the ocean
There are great great many things that could be told in Obiwan solo film. As folks here were saying, Ewan McGregor as Obi is a must. Timeline would be something around 7- 9 years after ROTS mostly because of young Luke growing up in Tatooine, or precisely 9 years so Luke would be at the same age as Anakin when Qui Gon first discovered him.

Obiwan is living in exile, hiding from the great Jedi purge of Galatic Empire, while secretly watching over little Luke. Also in Tatooine he will have a chance to meet with his former master, Qui Gon (force ghost), to learn more about the way of The Force and complete his training, previously guided by Yoda at the end of ROTS. This will also explain Obiwan's ability to "become one with the Force" when he was struck down by Vader in EpIV -ANH.
Most importantly, deeply dive into Obiwan's psychological sense. Tremendous amount of guilt haunted him after Mustafar event. Depression, loneliness...Obiwan has trully lost everything, his friends - Jedi order, his family - Anakin, Padme, his belief - Democratic Republic...only the new hope remains, little Luke. Somehow at the nearly end of this movie, he finds out Anakin still survie, now reanimated as ruthless Sith lord Darth Vader......

Galatic Empire at its peak, Palpatine consolidated his power by spreading terrors and destructions to the Galaxy, crushing every rebellions/resistance forces stand on his path.

The great Jedi Purge - Vader hunting down Jedi survivors with his Sith Inquisitors, probably there will be a scence when he confronted with a group of Jedi and slaughter every single one of them. This battle will show off amazing Force skills and LS techniques used from both sides.
