Eh, there's a bunch of history/time between the end of Ep3 and beginning of Ep4, if they do it right, they can entertain without shitting on continuity and Ewan was a wonderful Obi. So I'm looking forward to it.
Kenobis development on Tattooine and protecting Luke interests me way more than anything he did in TCW

I'm looking forward to the episode where he forgets all about R2-D2. And the one where he forgets about Qui-Gon. Perhaps that'll be in the same episode.

He literally just needed to flick his wrist so he went into the lava. He could have done it while running.

And where Qui Gon explains why he learned the secret to immortality and never told him.

Hes a great Obi. I just dont think theres a need for this show. Theres lots of other characters to explore, lots more interesting stories to tell.
And was always going to be difficult making an entertaining show with him just hanging out on Tatooine. So screwing up continuity kind of came with the territory here methinks.
Im looking forward to how no one will be able to call him Obi-Wan.
Han Solo was always kind of an a-hole to ol' Ben Kenobi.
So of course he named his evil kid after him.
"He's evil"
"I know"

They don't really have to keep him on Tatooine all the time, there's nothing to stop him going off to prevent Imperial forces getting back to the Emperor with info on Luke's existence, taking him away from Tatooine for what could be whole story arcs on their own.
My God yes, I forgot about his genius decision to change his name to Ben, they should explain that too, along with how it was enough to evade Imperial detection for 19 years.

who even gave ben his obi wan name why wasn't his original name good enough?

That was an off hand example, just saying that it's not too difficult to come up with reasons for OB1 leaving Tatooine. It's not a challenging hurdle IMO.

Point is Its risking messing with canon for no reason.
Theres simply no real need for this show IMHO. Its attempted fan service because people like Ewans Obi. Vader being in this is all the proof we need its intent is fan service.
And its not like we dont already have plenty of Obi-Wan in canon.
It feels like they are overloading us with Star Wars shows and movies. Which shows that no matter what too much of a good thing can be bad.
In addition to these tv shows I have no doubt Disney is scheming up another trilogy because why wouldn't they? They're more or less guaranteed to make at least a billion on each movie.

Don't disagree with anything you are saying, nor did I, literally just making the point that it won't take a team of Shakespeare clones to come up with a reason to leave Tatooine for an episode here or an episode there.
