Obi-Wan Kenobi is Officially Dead, and That's for the Best But despite a promising cameo in the Season 1 finale, there were no rumblings of a possible Season 2, even as The Mandalorian and Andor were renewed.

The common belief is that the harsh weather on Tatooine combined with the emotional turmoil he experienced during and after the Great Jedi Purge simply took a toll on his body. While that would be enough to age anyone, there may be a more viable answer.

In fact, Obi-Wan was capable of understanding at least five different languages including Twi'leki and Shyriiwook. His ability to understand the latter, the language of the Wookies, would play a crucial role in Kenobi's negotiations with the co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca.
