Obi-wan is new to Tatooine and still struggling with his new role as hermit and his old one as a Jedi Knight. Much of the story is actually told through the eyes of Annileen Calwell, the owner of Dannar’s Claim in the Pika Oasis, and A’Yark, a Tusken warrior.īut there’s plenty of Ben, of course – his appearance in the lives of the Oasis inhabitants is the books driving force. In fact, it’s exactly the kind of novel whose lack we’ve been mourning for quite some time: An character-centric adventure that doesn’t have galaxy-shaking consequences and is none the less exciting or interesting for it.īut you might be shocked to hear that Ben Kenobi is not exactly the book’s lead character. This is a Star Wars novel fitting firmly in the current trend of books that require one to know very little beyond the films themselves.
Kenobi is John Jackson Miller’s second Star Wars novel and his first featuring a movie character, and quite possibly the best one of the year thus far.
