‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Finale Predictions: What Happens to Leia, Reva, and Obi-Wan?
Disney+ gave Star Wars fans more context into what happened after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith with Obi-Wan Kenobi. The miniseries takes fans into the life of Obi-Wan Kenobi 10 years after he defeated Anakin Skywalker in Mustafar. Now, the first season of the series is coming to an end. Here are the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale predictions regarding what will happen to Leia, Reva, Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader.
[Spoiler alert: Possible spoilers ahead for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.]
‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ finale predictions: What will happen to Leia and Reva?
The Obi-Wan Kenobi finale is coming soon, and fans can’t wait to see what happens to finish off the series. The series introduced a young Leia about a decade after she was born, and she’s spent the series with Obi-Wan after he rescued her from getting kidnapped. As for how things will end with Leia, many fans think she’ll head back to Alderaan as Obi-Wan heads for Tattooine. It’s likely the finale will focus on young Luke’s fate, and Leia will safely and soundly make her way back home.
So, why doesn’t Leia remember all of these adventures with Obi-Wan later in life? Some fans on Reddit think her memory gets wiped.
“On a real note though, maybe the reason Leia doesn’t remember Kenobi is that he mind-wipes her after she learns about her brother and father, so to protect her … he wipes all knowledge of their little gallivant throughout a galaxy far, far away,” a Reddit user noted.
As for Reva, it’s presumed she now knows about Luke and his whereabouts. She’ll likely spend the finale searching for Luke — though many fans presume she dies. Many Reddit users guess that Reva heads out to find Luke, but Owen Lars ultimately delivers the final blow against her after Darth Vader allowed her to survive.
“Obi-Wan would spare Reva’s life, but Owen kills her,” a fan on Reddit guessed.
What will happen to Darth Vader and Obi-Wan?
Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi are bound to have one final fight in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. So, what will become of them in the final episode?
Some fans on Reddit believe Obi-Wan and Vader will duel, and Obi-Wan will come out on top. During their duel, fans guess Obi-Wan will break Vader’s helmet, causing Anakin to be revealed beneath. Then, an emotional conversation between the two might ensue.
“I do believe there’ll be an exchange of dialogue where Kenobi tries to reason with Vader and get him to turn back,” a fan guessed. “This ultimately fails, as Vader responds with dialogue along the lines of, ‘you left me when I needed you the most. I looked up to you, Obi-Wan. I trusted you. You didn’t love me, you never did.’”
“After Obi-Wan beats Vader, he’s going to plead with Anakin to come back to the light side, and Vader is going to turn his back on Obi-Wan and walk away in anger and shame at being defeated,” another fan noted.
What happens to Obi-Wan when he dies?
Obi-Wan Kenobi lives through the end of the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. Fans who’ve watched the Star Wars movies know Obi-Wan died in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Dork Side of the Force reminds us Luke, Han, Chewbacca, and Obi-Wan went to rescue Leia on the Death Star. Obi-Wan knows the group needs more time to get away, thus he faces Vader one on one a final time.
Ultimately, Obi-Wan allows Vader to strike him down. He disappears and becomes a force ghost who helps to guide Luke through the rest of the original trilogy.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi finale is available to stream on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, on Disney+.
