Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. Tatooine-a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has lost everything. It takes the Western influences in Star Wars and runs with them to create not only an engaging story, but an essential one. John Jackson Miller crafted a well-written, easy-to-read piece that not only focuses on one of the most beloved characters in all of Star Wars, but also manages to fill in a crucial gap in the story between movie trilogies. Kenobi is hands down one of the best books in the Expanded Universe. Ben must find a way to get to the bottom of an ever-deepening mystery that lies beneath the conflict while also keeping his identity-and his true purpose on Tatooine-a secret. Even on a backwater planet like Tatooine, there is conflict, and soon Ben finds himself wrapped up in a decades-long feud between the moisture farmers and their arch nemeses, the Tusken Raiders. However, much more happened in the preceding years than one might expect. Years later, he re-emerged as a crazy old hermit by the name of Ben to play a hand in the fate of the galaxy. Following Order 66, General Obi Wan Kenobi vanished from the galaxy along with all the other Jedi.
