Kenobi - S1E5 (Spoilers)

There is a potential out from Rebels. In the episode where Ezra goes to find Kenobi, the comment is made that “Kenobi is dead. Senator organa confirmed it.”

It would be a weak “fix” and it would require the name Obi wan Kenobi to be the Star Wars equivalent of John Smith, but if at the end of the series Leia believes this Obiwan dies and her adoptive father confirms it, then by the original trilogy she wouldn’t realize it is the same person.

I doubt that is the direction the show will go, but I just watched that episode of rebels, and that comment about Obi wan got me to wondering…
