Would make sense to be the first sentence he says. I bet we will see Yoda and Qui-Gon again. Yoda as a Force projection, establishing a connection to Force ghost Qui-Gon. The final scene could show Obi meditating to find out how to become one with the Force.
That’s what I’m hoping is to see a qui gon ghost appear in obiwans need.. set him back in track

Of course - and I hope we wil meet Cad Bane again. His introduction in live-action could mean that he will be used more often than once. Cobb, the Armorer and Viszla all came back, why not him. Maybe he will be the main villain which would be awesome. BTW, I've become pretty pleased with his look now. Like others said it took a while to adjust from the comic world to the "real" life but his look in Boba ep 7 did not "irritate" me any longer.
Second prediction Old Ben saying..
"I have a bad feeling about this"
So... Ben is familiar with Mos Eisley
He knows of the rogues, has it ever been mentioned if he Already knew characters that we saw in OT SWs ?
He introduces Luke to Chewbacca and Solo but that might not mean he didn't already know them himself even Greedo or a slew of other characters....
Is he living a nomadic solitary life style( that'll become boring quick) or as I'm guessing he's gonna meet familiar faces..

I imagine someone else has said this in the last 6 pages, but....that looks like his hand/arm is straight out. If it's straight out, and you have a grip on a lightsaber, i'd think it'd be facing straight at the camera. At worst you'd see it at a sharp angle to the camera. That looks straight out and much more in the position of a blaster than a saber...

Empire has killed lots of jedi at this point. There have to be a number of sabers floating around the various shops of the galaxy.

They tried that and chickened out if you recall.
Solo was supposed to be a comedy, Rogue One a gritty war movie...
They may go back to that if Dr Strange II actually is more of a horror flick and it does well.

You forgot the end credits scene...Bail Organa walks into a room and shoots a storm trooper. He throws him out of his chair and takes his seat in bridge of the blockade runner...."The Book of Bail.....coming May 2023".My humble predictions:
Chapter 1 shows us the everyday life of Obi-Wan on Tatooine. A few short flashbacks establish a connection to ROTS, explain the status quo and that Vader must not find out that Luke is his son. Life is pretty calm and uneventful. Near the end of the episode we cut to a Star Destroyer. Vader is doing his space business, again pretty uneventful stuff. Then something happens which causes him to go to Tatooine, the place of his childhood. He sets course for the system.
In chapter 2 Obi-Wan finds out that a Star Destroyer is on its way to the planet. Nothing unusual but rumours have it that Lord Vader is on board. Obi is in a state of alert and proceeds to the Lars farm. He tries to convince them to leave for a few weeks till Vader is gone. Something prevents them from leaving in time and they see Vader arrive.
Chapter 3: Vader visits the Lars farm and gets to know that they have a little boy now. He feels that something is wrong with the boy but cannot tell what it is. He leaves and goes on a little pew-pew-pew cruise.
Chapter 4: The feelings toward that little boy don't let Vader go. They grow stronger and make him believe that the boy could in fact be his son. He returns to Tatooine to find out. Obi-Wan uses the Force to lure him away from the boy. At the end of the episode Vader faces off Obi-Wan.
Chapter 5: Obi-Wan is playing a cat and mouse game with Vader to confuse him. In the end Vader is convinced that it was Obi who caused those strange feelings he had when meeting the boy. Obi is smarter than Vader and eludes him. Vader is frustrated, returns to his ship and leaves. Obi-Wan tells the Lars family that they are saved again. Then he swings himself on a Krayt dragon and rides toward the double sunset.
Chapter 6: Grogu is force-punching the Turbo boost of Mando's new Starfighter so heavily that this time Mando is puking blue stuff. The end.
In BoB we see Bail protecting the secret of Leia as it was made clear to him that Vader can never know she's his daughter, you know, same with Luke. However, Bail (and george frankly) stick here in the position of possibly crossing paths with Vader frequently by letting her work with him in the senate, etc. Comedy ensues with all the near misses and including the big scene where Vader hits on here in a Coruscant bar!

And when she's finished her work, an exit like this to show the ferocity of the inquisitor and her cool helicopter saber?
That music would be hilarious with an inquisitor in flight.

I hope this isn't a live action cartoon and has nothing from CW/Rebels in it. Gravitas please! Serious show! Same tone as the movies!

Maybe they put in an ugly old toaster no-one has ever wanted and use it as a cool prop to boost its sales on eBay.

Have you watched those shows?

There was plenty in both of those shows that was serious and the same tone as the OT.
I think it's not so much an objection to the cartoons so much as not wanting it to feel like unnecessary tie in promos for other shows. It's one thing to have a cohesive universe and story. It's another to have characters shoe horned in and distract from the main storyline. That's why Mando S2 felt so disjointed and why I lost interest. If Filoni is hellbent on turning all of his creations into live action then he should just do a live action Clone Wars show. If they have any confidence in their material at all there's literally no reason to rely constantly on the past.
People love Clone Wars. Great. Then they need to make a live action show of it and stop involving those characters into storylines in which they don't really belong in the first place. The ages of the Clone Wars characters is constantly in question given how often they appear in the time-line. Their appearances span decades and they never age. That's a problem.
They need enough balls to tell new stories and stop trying to televise their high school reunion. It's getting old. That's why Fett was a mess because it focused on everything BUT Fett. It's like it's more important to set up other shows than it is to tell a story which by definition is not storytelling but empty marketing.

I guess it is possible he knew of them, but when they are in the control room of the Death Star it seems pretty clear Han does not know Ben. "Where did you dig up that old fossil?" Also, Han introduced himself to Ben and Luke in the cantina.
But, the way things are being written for SW these days all of that may mean nothing now. So, I guess it could be possible. Who knows?

Couldn't agree more. That's why Mando s1 is my favorite, because it doesn't rely on preexisting characters to continue the plot. Though to be fair, S1 Ep 8 alluded to a greater plot that would definitely have existing characters, but the execution of it felt too much like character of the week
