The art besides showcases at to the lowest degree one member of the Inquisition, a decease squad of force sensitives and dark Jedi tasked with hunting downwards the remaining Jedi. On top of this, the inclusion of several dissimilar worlds, including ane suspiciously Rebel-looking base, confirms that the activity won't be restricted to Tatooine.

My guess? An inquisitor comes to Tatooine, which threatens the rubber of young Luke Skywalker, and Obi Wan ends up on the run to lead the Empire abroad and keep him safe. Obviously that would besides put him on Vader's radar, leading to their penultimate confrontation.
