CLASSIC ART: HIS SECRET OBLIGATION...

Art by Travis Charest for Star Wars Legacy #16. Dark Horse Comics.

The respected Jedi Master who survived the brutality of the galaxy-wide Order 66 wiping out his friends, teachers and 'family'. The Jedi who fought, and for a short time believed killed, the madness of his former Padawan turned dark side acolyte, Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi who volunteered to spend the rest of his life in self-exile, in noble duty to protect the true 'New Hope' to the Galaxy in Anakin's newborn offspring, Luke Skywalker, on a far-out and hostile desert world whose clime and inhabitants would prove challenging to adapt to, during a critical history-making time he must deliberately step back from- a Republic he once served now a tyrannical Empire with his long absence.

The life story of the iconic Obi-Wan Kenobi continues next year, as Ewan McGregor and Lucasfilm/Disney reveal what happened with the beloved character in those wilderness years/ chapters of his residing on Tatooine, of which some important questions will be tantalizingly answered...
