The series takes place on Tatooine and will probably give a more in-depth look at Tatooine culture that will be expanded even further when Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi is released. Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett's trailer contains a small detail that might further explain why Obi-Wan was able to remain hidden from the Empire for so long. Thus, while Obi-Wan Kenobi's robes in Star Wars: A New Hope became the template for all Jedi robes, they also show larger fashion trends in the galaxy, at least for people with less wealth. On Tatooine in particular, many characters, including Owen Lars, wore similar apparel as part of their everyday ensembles. In the Star Wars franchise, the Jedi's garments also are supposed to reflect humility and resemble the clothing worn by the working class throughout the galaxy. RELATED: The Book of Boba Fett Trailer's Biggest Hints and Best Moments While there is some variety in Jedi's clothing choices throughout the eras, most Jedi wear similar ensembles to Obi-Wan in the prequel trilogy era, and the clothing of earlier eras such as the Star Wars: The High Republic subseries also includes similar design choices for most of the Jedi. As Catrina Dennis explains in an article for, the traditional Jedi robes were heavily influenced by samurai clothing, which allowed for freedom of movement during battle.

By the time the prequel trilogy was released, however, his robes reflected the standard for Jedi wardrobes. Obi-Wan's clothing might not have originally been meant to represent the dress code for the Jedi Order.

That said, the trailer for Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett reveals another possible reason for Obi-Wan's successful subterfuge: Tatooine appears to be a hive for older hermits, so Obi-Wan might have blended in easily. It was, after all, Anakin Skywalker's home planet, and Obi-Wan himself does not seem to have changed his appearance or his clothing much.

At first, Obi-Wan Kenobi's plan to hide in exile on Tatooine might not seem like the wisest course of action.
