The same can be said for Obi-Wan's conflict with Anakin - something that we know comes to a head when they meet as older men in A New Hope, but that doesn't need countless additional rematches in the meantime.
While a hypothetical second season could easily chronicle more of Obi-Wan watching over Leia and Luke, doing so would grossly undercut his final scenes on the show with both kids, which were arguably among the highlights of the finale. Even the very inclusion of Leia and Luke Skywalker (Grant Feely) was a surprise, allowing for Obi-Wan to directly and earnestly confront his trauma about his past without counteracting the events of the original trilogy. What made Obi-Wan Kenobi work was its mix of the expected and the unexpected, with the show still being able to flourish and brilliantly mirror the first six Star Wars movies while under the "plot armor" of characters like Obi-Wan, Leia, and Anakin surviving well past the events of the show. Given how successful Obi-Wan Kenobi was, it's understandable that audiences might want to get to experience more of that - but there's the question of whether or not that formula can (and should) be repeated in a hypothetical second season. That kickstarted a story from there that encompassed multiple lightsaber duels, an ever-growing roster of guest stars, and a pretty effective balance between easily-predictable fan service and genuine surprises. Leia's very kidnapping was revealed to be part of a plot from the Empire to draw Obi-Wan out of solitude and into the clasp of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), who still wanted revenge for what he perceived to be Obi-Wan's betrayal.
From the jump, Obi-Wan Kenobi surprised fans with its central premise - not only would the show be following its titular character on a previously-unseen adventure, but that adventure would revolve around protecting a young Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and bringing her back to Alderaan.
