Fool me twice, Luke, shame on me. Just kill the fucker.
That it's shown as being able to travel back and forth between Tatooine and Alderaan piloted by Kenobi alone makes one wonder what happened to this ship by the time ANH is around... Would've been useful.
He probably sold it to the Jawas for some currency and purchase his "A New Hope" home.
Stormtroopers were probably tasked with looking for it but the Jawas will have stripped it down for parts.
The ship could've served as a home arguably. We have no indication that Han and Chewie lived anywhere other than the Falcon for example.
Ha! Maybe he sold it to put a down payment on his hut!
Or he probably gambled it away at podracing.
Take your pick!
*Obi-wan thinking*
"Hmm. I can buy ALOT of dead carcass fish meat now! I'm going to be eating good for the next 10 years before I bite it"

In true Star Wars fashion, pretty much nothing about that transport ship makes any kind of sense. The external scale is wildly inconsistent, the interior and exterior doesn't even get close to matching, the cargo bay can somehow fit two T-47s AND and escape craft that's a quarter the size of the whole damn ship. (Also, an escape craft that can make it from the outer rim to the core and back!?)
Best not to think on it too hard.

Season 2 takes place before A New Hope, and it's about the families of 11 deceased Imperial officers who all file wrongful death claims against Obi-Wan, because if he had just killed Anakin when he had the chance either time, their loved ones would still be alive instead of getting force-choked to death.
mostly agree with you. My (pathetic) opinion differs with the actress playing leia.
Not sure if she was just written to be annoying, but I actually rooted for the dark side to kill her just to stop the whining.
I would add that the actress playing reva, who came under such initial fan criticism, I think did a great job.
As for the rest of your opinions, we are in alignment
Rule 1 of fictional logistics, scenes are arranged for narrative impact; the order we see things in is not necessarily the order in which they take place. Ben's spidey-sense could've been triggered by Reva first arriving on Tatooine and beginning to ask around about Owen, and he spent hours getting to the homestead.
(Of course, J.J. Abrams and others like to sometimes needlessly peg scenes to each other, explicitly establishing that they take place concurrently or continuously, specifically to drive me insane.)
I was thinking that too in episode 4
Obi-Wan and Tala and even Leia look HUGE next to the speeder and they somehow all fit in.
That's probably why the windows in the back are all blacked out, so they could fudge it at a distance. (yeah, the canopy is a little bigger than in tESB, but not by much.)
And yeah, the snow speeders were *tiny*. Just barely big enough for two people to fit in.
I think a better question here is "how did Reva get to Tatooine so fast, or indeed at all?"
All I can think of is that Vader was chasing that transport for WAY longer than it seemed . . . also he forgot that he had like a billion TIE fighters when he peeled off to chase an escape pod with a damn destroyer.

Well its consistent with Vader. Just see how he chases down the Tantive IV in ANH and the Falcon in TESB.
Star Wars Hyperspace has always moved at the speed of plot, just like Warp Drive.
There is a Hyperspace trade route that connects Tatooine and Jabiim, but it's still practically on the other side of the Galaxy.
A Continuity breakdown (references to Legends and new canon stuff) for those interested

This guy does them for a lot of the new content that comes out, TV movie and novels.
It's not a nit pick article, just a list of references.

That's the thing about Vader, and even when he was Anakin, he had a kind of single minded blindness. Once he thought he was on the trail of his quarry, nothing else mattered.
When the opportunity was at hand, we see Obi-Wan can't go through with killing his old padawan. Compare it to parents who can't find it in them to turn their own children into the authorities despite knowing their child is a horrible person and deserves to be in prison. Obi-Wan knows Vader is evil and has to be stopped, but when he looks through the damaged helmet, he sees Anakin and can't go through with it. Ob-Wan was hoping that Luke never knowing Vader as anything other than an evil Imperial leader will be able to go ahead and kill him. Really, I doubt Obi-Wan wanted Anakin to die, but he genuinely believed a redemption wasn't possible, meaning killing him was the only real option.
I assumed he gave it to Reva
Anything's possible, and although McGregor and Christensen have both said in interviews that they'd be up for a second season, Disney didn't really plan on one. They haven't ruled out the possibility, but Kenobi was originally meant to to be six episodes and done. They don't know where to go from here either.

"For this one, we really did conceive it to be a limited series. It really is one big story with a beginning, middle, and end. So, we weren't thinking past that...I think, you know, if it was to go forward, it would only be if there was a real reason for another one."
--Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow
Personally, I wouldn't mind if this was it for Kenobi. I liked the series a lot, but I think it did cover all the bases as far as the title character is concerned, IMO. Maybe things could continue in a spin-off series instead...
