Obi-Wan Kenobi has proven to be not only the biggest Disney+ original series to date, but quite possibly the best too. That's admittedly a tad premature only three episodes in, but beyond some choppy editing here and there and a few very over-the-top Sith Inquisitors, the show is one it's been hard to find fault with.
Today's episode proved to be particularly revealing, especially as the bond between "Ben" and Princess Leia continued to develop. The Jedi Master revealed that he was taken from his family by the Jedi at a very early age and that he remembers having a brother. He doesn't recall his name or even what he looks like, but believes he was a baby at the time.
That presumably means there's a whole Kenobi family out there somewhere, though your guess is as good as ours when it comes to whether we might meet some of them eventually!
Being taken from his brother could go some way in explaining the bond Obi-Wan eventually formed with Anakin Skywalker, and as well as suiting up as Darth Vader, Hayden Christensen also reprised that role in the latest episode. He appeared as Anakin in a vision Ben had while travelling with Leia, though given the look on his old friend's face, it's hard to say whether this was his imagination playing tricks on him or the Sith Lord finding a way to taunt his former Master through the Force.
Rumour has it Obi-Wan Kenobi will include flashbacks with Christensen as Anakin, so it will be interesting seeing how those inform the story being told here (assuming they happen).
