Oh, I absolutely agree that he would have to come down on the side of his principles. But imagine pinning those principles against the one hope the galaxy has left? The agony of choosing to do the right thing in the face of that? But also the catharsis of being rewarded for that faith when it proves to be the correct decision and the Force sees to the problem in a way that doesn't compromise him.
Also, it would even more explicitly shade Obi-wan as being Anakin's opposite. To do the thing that Anakin couldn't, even in the face of potential disaster. And as Anakin's choice damns him, Obi-wan's would allow him to once again find the center of his faith and move forward towards Ep 4.
I sincerely doubt it's the way the show will go, mind you. I'm expecting something a lot more straightforward. And there isn't anything wrong with that, if it gets more Ewan McGregor on my screen in this role. Just something I've mused on for a while.
Kenobi will probably end up fighting the other Inquisitor seen in the trailer. I didn't see her do or say anything overly villainous in the trailer besides posing. I want to believe they are saving some stuff for the show to surprise us. Just try to keep in mind that D+ just gave us a Boba Fett show about a crime lord who didn't commit any crimes. So if they give us an Inquisitor's journey back to the light that just so happens to have Obi-Wan Kenobi in it I wouldn't be shocked.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
She has a name instead of a designation so that must mean something.

Kind of curious if Obi-Wan might run into Chewie (But probably not Han). When the two meet in the Cantina it seems they're might be some familiarity (Although Chewie later seems to insult him during the Death Star). This is roughly around the time Han and Chewie start working for Jabba....

There are rumors that 4-Lom will show up. Kind of curious, since he's usually inseparable from Zuckuss (Maybe because of the infamous action figure name switch) in the Expanded Universe (Both Disney and Legends).
Or maybe it's Q9-0 who looks very similar.

Ian Mcdiarmid is hinting he might appear as Palpatine. Makes more sense reprising it here of course than in ROS....

Rumors are also circulating that Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist Flea will play a role. He's acted many times before-most famously as Needles in Back To The Future's sequels, probably, but he's also done a lot of voice work so it's possible he'll do a CG or practical alien or droid. Hey maybe he's 4-Lom!

So I'm guessing Obi-Wan is probably captured on the planet that isn't Tatooine and brought to Mustafar from there, but somehow escapes and Vader isn't able to track him back to Tatooine.

Why do I feel like the 5th or last episode will be the revelation that Anakin is Vader behind the mask? Like how Ahsoka learned in Rebels.
