Plot

Life on Tatooine is terrible. But it’s better than dying. Obi-Wan works, spends the accumulated money on electrical appliances and constantly monitors Luke Skywalker, who is attached to the family of Owen Lars, Skywalker Sr.’s adoptive brother. Luke’s sister, Leia, is brought up in the family of a close friend of Obi-Wan – everyone knows Leia as the wayward daughter of Bail Organa, who rules on another planet.

One day, the Grand Inquisitor arrives on Tatooine with his subjects. His goal is to destroy all Jedi, as well as children who have power. There are legends about the Jedi nowadays, but no one has seen them for a long time. Considering the desire of the Jedi to help people as a weakness, the Grand Inquisitor attempts to lure the Jedi out by harming innocent people. And soon it works.

The Grand Inquisitor is on the trail of a little-known man who has power, but he manages to escape. Trying to save himself, the man goes to Obi-Wan and asks for help to avoid the pursuit of the Grand Inquisitor. Obi-Wan advises to hide more carefully and refuses. But after a while, he learns that trouble has happened in the Organa family. Unknown people kidnapped Leia, do not want a ransom and do not say where the girl is.

Having lost hope of the return of the only child, Bail comes for help to Obi-Wan, who several years ago brought this little girl to his house. The Organa family had no children of their own, and he and his wife were ready to raise the young Leia Skywalker in their home as if they were their own child. Meanwhile, her brother Luke came under the care of his uncle and spent time violating all kinds of prohibitions from the elders.

At first, Obi-Wan wanted to refuse Bail’s request, but the new details of the case forced him to take a different look at the situation. Everything is overshadowed by the Third Sister, who arrived on Tatooine along with the Grand Inquisitor. With her desire to find and kill Obi-Wan, she makes things worse for everyone. Third Sister is cruel to those around her and wants to punish anyone who hides her enemy, against whom she has personal grievances.

For so long, the Jedi in hiding will have to show up and become a target not only for the Third Sister, but also for the Imperial soldiers. The story promises to be unpredictable, and fans of the franchise will see many more familiar faces that will continue to appear in Season 2…
