What I Think The Obi-Wan Series Did Right For Me, Which A Lot Of Similar Fill-in-the-gaps Stories Don't,

What I think the Obi-Wan series did right for me, which a lot of similar fill-in-the-gaps stories don't, is it filled in an emotional gap and not a plot one. This wasn't "how did Boba Fett survive the sarlacc pit" or "how did Anakin's/Luke's lightsaber get from Bespin to Takodana" or even (the simplest form of fill-in-the-gap) "what was he doing between x event and y event" (even though the series does answer that question, it's not the question it's answering). It didn't set out to "fix" or "explain" a plot "hole". It just looked at Obi-Wan at the end of Revenge of the Sith (betrayed, confused, guilty) and the next time we see him, in Rebels: Twin Suns or A New Hope (centred, calm, decisive, able to face Vader with equanimity and a hint of a smirk), and asked: how does this person become this other version of himself? What must he go through to get there? What must he realise and/or decide, and what would push him to get there? I'd love this to become the key question that determines whether it's worthwhile to revisit a character and tell an untold part of their story: are we just looking to answer a plot question, or are we bridging an emotional gap?

I have done this in a campaign and based on that experience, I second this advice

Tired of homebrewing inns? Just make one and keep putting it in every settlement your players arrive in with the same staff running it. Have the staff act annoyed if the change in location is ever mentioned, like it's a joke they've heard too many times from adventurers.

This might well be Malcolm's final diary room video! Poor Mal. He might have had the right idea. But we might never know.
