OBI-WAN KENOBI: 5 Predictions For Next Week's Season Finale Following The Penultimate Episode - SPOILERS

The penultimate episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi delivered a lot of big surprises, and we're now taking a closer look at those to bring your our predictions for next Wednesday's sure-to-be epic series finale...

Filed Under: Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a project fans spent a very long time waiting to see become a reality, and while it was originally set to be a movie, the decision to turn it into a TV series has definitely paid off thus far.

Over the past five episodes, we've seen Ewan McGregor's iconic Jedi Master overcome the traumas of his past to confront the mistakes he made during Revenge of the Sith head-on. While his first battle with Darth Vader obviously didn't go Ben's way, reconnecting with the Force has increased his powers and set the stage for what promises to be an epic finale next Wednesday.

We've taken a quick look at some of the biggest moments in yesterday's fifth chapter, but it's now time to better explore the episode and everything that's happened over the past few weeks to figure out where the finale could take us. From where certain characters might be heading next to how this story will end, we think you'll find this breakdown pretty compelling.

To take a look through our Obi-Wan Kenobi finale predictions, click the "Next" button below!

5. Reva's New Mission

We suspected there might be more to Reva than meets the eye, and that's now been confirmed. While it's still unclear how she fell into the hands of the Sith Inquisitors, the villain was, in fact, one of the Jedi Younglings attacked by Anakin Skywalker on the night of Order 66. All this time, she's been waiting for the chance to take her revenge on Darth Vader.

Alas, she tried and failed on Jabiim to defeat the Sith Lord. In fact, she was stabbed for her troubles, but survived that wound and found Ben's message from Bail Organa revealing that Luke Skywalker is hidden on Tatooine. With that, Reva now appears to know that Anakin's children were taken from him.

While she may have infiltrated the Sith Inquisitors to kill Vader, Reva is by no means a hero. We're guessing she either intends to kill Luke as a way of taking revenge on Anakin or because she hopes to train the boy and use him as a weapon against his father. This flies in the face of recent plot leaks, and something tells us the character's story won't end with this series.

4. Birth Of The Rebellion

There had been rumblings that the group helping Obi-Wan rescue Princess Leia in this series might meet a grisly end at Darth Vader's hands. That's still possible, but it feels like the Sith Lord's focus is going to be on his former Master and not people he doesn't realise the importance of quite yet.

O'Shea Jackson has done a great job playing Kawlan Roken, and we believe there's a strong chance the character could be a founding member of the Rebellion. This group is clearly going to play a pivotal role in returning Princess Leia to her parents, and that might just be the moment Bail Organa realises the best way to fight back against the Empire is to rebel against its control.

With that in mind, don't be surprised if a few familiar faces end up finding their way into upcoming Star Wars projects like Andor or Jedi: Survivor. The fact that Force-sensitive beings are involved suggests the latter is more likely, but it would be a wasted opportunity to end their story here.

3. A Deadly New Foe

At the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi's second episode, Reva stabbed The Grand Inquisitor through the stomach and left the villain for dead. Subsequent episodes seemed to confirm that he'd died, which greatly confused fans who know how his story ends in the Star Wars Rebels animated series.

Was that version a clone? Could he be a different Grand Inquisitor or had Lucasfilm just made a major continuity error? The truth is that the villain simply survived his wound, and hiding that fact appeared to be part of Darth Vader's plan to use Reva's hatred for him as a means of finding Obi-Wan. As we head into the finale, now is the perfect time to give The Grand Inquisitor the chance to shine.

While Ben's battle with Vader should be a priority (we'll get to that), it would be a blast to see Obi-Wan also go toe-to-toe with the Sith Lord's subordinate. Failing that, there's always a chance he's sent after Reva again, but it would be shocking for The Grand Inquisitor to continue taking a back seat even after rising from the dead!

2. Rematch Time

Obi-Wan appears to have sensed that Reva has learned of Luke's existence, and while you have to imagine that will lead to him rushing back to Tatooine, there has to be at least one more duel with Darth Vader on the cards. After being entirely overpowered by his former friend in the show's third episode, we've seen Ben's connection to the Force increase, surely putting him on a par with Vader again.

Seeing a more evenly balanced fight between the two promises to be nothing short of amazing, and while we can't even begin to guess how it will end (well, we know neither of them dies), it has to be a big moment for Obi-Wan. Tala Durith repeatedly told Ben that he needs to move on from the past, so perhaps Obi-Wan will forgive Anakin and refuse to strike the villain down as he once did on Mustafar?

The Jedi Master leaving Vader to continue his reign of terror throughout the Galaxy would be divisive. However, if it's a crucial part of one day bringing Anakin back to the light, it could be worth it.

1. Master Qui-Gon?

On multiple occasions in this series, Obi-Wan has attempted to reach out through the Force to Qui-Gon Jinn. He was the one responsible for bringing Anakin Skywalker into the Jedi Order once upon a time, though we don't anticipate Ben looking to call out his Master to answer for past mistakes!

Instead, it's Qui-Gon who is likely going to be responsible for helping Obi-Wan become the wiser Jedi we met in A New Hope. A Liam Neeson cameo might be a bit much to hope for, but we'd be shocked if, after overcoming Darth Vader, Ben doesn't at least hear his Master's voice so he can finally learn how to live on through the Force after death.

The Rise of Skywalker was supposed to show Rey surrounded by Force Ghosts. Given Vader's connection to Qui-Gon, it would be pretty mind-blowing to see Anakin come face-to-face with someone who once meant so much to him...

the prediction is that it will suck until vader does something then its all forgiven.

EZBeast - 6/16/2022, 6:21 PM

Lmfao what’s the point in lightsabers now if they don’t even kill anyone after impaling them?

Cap1 - 6/16/2022, 6:30 PM

@TheFireForce …

EZBeast - 6/16/2022, 6:37 PM

@Cap1 - I’m more of a chainblade man myself

CplHicks - 6/16/2022, 8:40 PM

@TheFireForce - Reva's got some Game of Thrones plot armor going on.

SirDuckAlot - 6/16/2022, 6:26 PM

My prediction is a wet fart.

Cap1 - 6/16/2022, 6:31 PM

Read online it’s gonna be 93 mins, hope that’s legit. Series has been decidedly average if not below, bar the last ep. Looking forward to the finale but not expecting much

Moriakum - 6/16/2022, 6:40 PM

@Cap1 -

Cap1 - 6/16/2022, 6:44 PM

@Moriakum - a cinema listing in Canada has it at 93, but now having researched it looks like it includes a 30 min q&a

McMurdo - 6/17/2022, 2:10 AM

@Cap1 - not a chance

5 things I can predict from the finale
1.disappointment
2.anger
3.depression
4.cringe
5.regret

CaptainDC - 6/16/2022, 6:52 PM

Qui Gon cameo with Liam Neeson is the ultimate goal for me.. we haven’t seen him in over 20 years. We also hear obi wan discuss trying to reach his force ghost in episodes 2 & 3.

This would be an awesome cameo and even better way to tie together how Obi Wan learned the force ghost ways to reach Luke in 5 & 6.

JFerguson - 6/16/2022, 6:53 PM

I wonder if the Reva confrontation on Tatooine will come before or after the Obi-Wan/Vader rematch. Because it could go either way right now. Hope they end it on the Vader duel though.

HeavyMetal4Life - 6/16/2022, 6:57 PM

Yeah I think a lot of those predictions will pain out. Especially that this is the group that gives birth to the rebellion. I have been thinking that as well.

Also, I hope we get a season 2.

A friend of mine works for the industry. Cant give you any more info. But he told me that SPOILERS

Luke, Leia, Vader, and Obiwan all survive and will be seen in future movies....pretty cool. Lets hope so!

GhostDog - 6/16/2022, 7:10 PM

I predict the script will still be mediocre unfortunately

Blergh - 6/16/2022, 7:23 PM

In the final shot we will see Ben settle into his little shack and watching over Luke.
Finally we'll see a dark robed man wander the desert, he unveils his hood and it's Maul, vigurously he screams:"KEEEENOOOOOOBBBIIII". Ben looks up in fear

CortoMaltese - 6/16/2022, 9:35 PM

Reva's mission is to kill Darth Vader, which we know she won't do, so why would we care?

marvel72 - 6/16/2022, 9:45 PM

I don't think anyone cares,most people think the show is bad, why does anyone think something good is going to happen.

Yuhio - 6/17/2022, 1:12 AM

lol all that in a 30 minutes long episode.
