Obi-Wan appears in the animated series The Clone Wars (2008–2014, 2020). He is a general during the Clone Wars, and he and Anakin have many adventures fighting the Separatists. During this time Obi-Wan's diplomatic skills earn him the appellation "The Negotiator" due to his reputation for preventing and stopping battles without the use of weapons. The series highlights his numerous confrontations with General Grievous, his adversarial relationship with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, his romance with Duchess Satine Kryze, and the return of his old enemy Darth Maul.
The animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018) takes place five years before Star Wars. In the season 3 episode "Visions and Voices", Ezra Bridger (voiced by Taylor Gray) discovers that Obi-Wan is alive on Tatooine; Obi-Wan's old nemesis Darth Maul finds him as well. In the episode "Twin Suns", Obi-Wan finds Ezra while he is lost in the desert while letting him know Maul was intending to use him. At that moment, Maul attacks them, and Obi-Wan ushers Ezra to retreat. Obi-Wan mortally wounds Maul during a final lightsaber duel; with his dying breath, Maul asks Obi-Wan if he is protecting the "Chosen One", and Obi-Wan replies that he is. After Maul's death, Obi-Wan is seen watching over Luke Skywalker from a distance.
In Rebels, Obi-Wan was voiced by Stephen Stanton, who replaced James Arnold Taylor. Rebels creator Dave Filoni, who worked with the character during the full duration of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, said he considered asking McGregor to reprise and voice the role. However, a voice recording of the late Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi was used in a 2018 episode.
The 2022 live-action series Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place ten years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. It was originally conceived as a standalone film, but was cancelled during pre-production following the box office disappointment of the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story. At the beginning of the series, Obi-Wan is living in hiding on Tatooine and watching over the ten-year-old Luke. He has lost his connection to the Force, cannot communicate with the spirit of Qui-Gon, and experiences nightmares from his past. Unbeknownst to Obi-Wan, Anakin survived their duel on Mustafar and is now hunting Jedi as Darth Vader. Reva Sevander, one of the Empire's Inquisitors, is obsessed with finding Obi-Wan, who is widely believed to be dead. In an attempt to lure him, she kidnaps Luke's twin sister, Princess Leia. Obi-Wan agrees to rescue Leia after her adoptive father, Bail Organa, visits his home.
After tracking Leia's kidnappers to the planet Daiyu, Obi-Wan encounters the con artist Haja Estree, who directs Obi-Wan to Leia's location. Obi-Wan liberates the young princess, but is unable to flee the planet before the Inquisitors detect his presence. Reva locates him and Leia, and reveals that Anakin is still alive as Vader. When Reva's superior, the Grand Inquisitor, arrives to arrest Obi-Wan, Reva stabs him with her lightsaber. Obi-Wan and Leia then escape to the mining planet Mapuzo, where they are discovered by Imperial troops. They elude their enemies with help from Tala, an Imperial officer who is secretly a member of the Path, an organization that aids those hunted by the Empire. As she escorts them to a hidden passageway, Vader arrives and begins harming innocent bystanders, hoping to bait Obi-Wan into revealing himself. Obi-Wan duels with Vader, who overpowers him. Tala saves Obi-Wan, but Leia is captured again by Reva.
Obi-Wan and Tala rescue Leia from the Inquisitors' stronghold, escaping with the help of Tala's Path allies. Reva leads a siege on the Path facility, and Obi-Wan speaks with her to stall for time. He deduces that she was a Jedi youngling who survived Vader's massacre at the Jedi Temple, and now wants to kill him for revenge. He suggests that she can attack him when he arrives. As the Path members evacuate, Reva tries to assault Vader but is quickly overpowered and left for dead. She manages to survive, however, and finds a message on Obi-Wan's transmitter that reveals Luke's location on Tatooine. Vader pursues the ship carrying the Path members and Obi-Wan, who decides to lure Vader away and confront him on a nearby planet. As they duel, Obi-Wan regains his connection to the Force and realizes Anakin has completely embraced his identity as Vader. Obi-Wan wounds his former apprentice and leaves him incapacitated. On Tatooine, Reva pursues Luke into the desert. Remembering the massacre at the Temple, she is unable to kill the boy, and returns him to his family. Obi-Wan arrives and congratulates her for overcoming her trauma and liberating herself. In the final moments of the series, Obi-Wan finally manages to converse with Qui-Gon.
