Kenobi show will be the darkest Star Wars show to date. The reason for this is because it’s set in the most dark time of the galaxy. The emperor and Vader rule the cosmos now 10 years after revenge of the Sith so this isn’t the early stages of the empire turning the tide of the republic like we saw in the bad batch, Palpatine’s reign is now quite actualized. Cal Kestis’s story picks up 5 years after Jedi Fallen Order, which originally took place 5 years after revenge of the Sith.

There aren’t any rebels around as prominent as there were in rogue one. Vader’s mask has already inflicted fear across the galaxy and at this point he’s quite well known. The inquisitors are also veterans now in their role in the empire and they have grown with power while lost numbers as time as gone on.
