something i really liked about the obi-wan series is the universal acknowledgement that obi-wan isn’t just a central figure by dint of being the main character of this show, of being tied to the skywalkers and organas, he’s a central figure because of his position within the jedi order.

“you were once a great jedi,” says nari, devastated that obi-wan won’t protect and help him. haja is shocked to learn not just that he’s a jedi but that he’s obi-wan. nobody except sidious (and reva) needs any reason for vader’s fixation on hunting down obi-wan kenobi - he’s obi-wan kenobi. master-in-waiting of the jedi order, third greatest master of the end of the jedi age after grand master yoda and master of the order mace windu, the master of soresu, jedi high general, leader of the third systems army.

obi-wan coming back into his own doesn’t just mean protecting people, or even regaining his way with words - coming back into his own means that in a room packed with other force-sensitive people, including multiple other jedi, he is the undisputed figure in command.

looking at the message wall on daiyu, he properly comprehends there are other jedi survivors. looking at the message wall on jabiim, he properly comprehends that he is their leader. he is a member of the high council, he is now (with mace likely dead) the master of the order, and his work for them isn’t over.
