"Obi-Wan's sacrifice was pivotal; not just in securing Luke's escape..." Leia: They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape. Tarkin: You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work. They were always going to escape.
I suspect Palpatine's thoughts were: aw shit, I thought we were done with him! Oh, Vader killed him? Good, maybe now he'll finally move on & become a real Sith.
It actually did because obi wan sacrificed himself to buy Luke, han and Leia time to escape. Leia was the only one who thought they might be tracked but still they couldn't be so sure they where.
Obi Wan freaking hard carried the Jedi

Huge mistake turning Obi Wan loose in the ether! Vader was right to still fear him after he was gone.

He literally didn’t give a rats ass.
a womp rats ass
But his sacrifice didn't actually secure their escape - Tarkin and Vader let them escape to track them to the hidden Rebel base!!

Kenobi is of no significance to the Emperor. Just another remnant of the Jedi to fade away and giving Palpatine as much concern as a Jawa!
don't seem to recall ever owning a droid...
