Synopsis (from Goodreads):
The greatest hero in the galaxy faces his toughest challenge yet: He must stop being Obi-Wan-and become Crazy Old Ben. For fans of movie-related novels like Darth Plagueis!
In this original novel set between the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi comes to the aid of the residents of Tatooine during his exile. But he struggles with his new mission when he realizes that protecting Luke Skywalker-the last hope of the galaxy-means setting aside his compassion and his Jedi warrior training, for the future of the galaxy lies not with Obi-Wan Kenobi, but with a mystical desert recluse known only by the name of Crazy Old Ben
My Rating:
4 out of 5 Stars
My Review:
I was very excited when I heard about the plot of this book. Who doesn’t want to know what Obi-Wan did during his 18 years on Tatooine, and why does he look so old?!? Plus this is billed as a Western which is a genre I have not read much about.
This was a fun book, although i would love to know how then spent the next 17 years and 9 months of his time on Tatooine. I was under the impression that this book would cover the whole time but it does not. That being said, it was a fun Western story about life on Tatooine and a more in depth look at the Sand People.
Not a spoiler but they did somewhat address the issue of his aging between the movies, which made me chuckle out loud.
Kenobi was a quick and enjoyable read and left the story open for more Kenobi tales.
