Summary
Fast approaches the ultimate destiny of one of the Jedi’s most renowned masters！ As Obi-Wan Kenobi spends his final days in the remote deserts of Tatooine， he takes time to reflect on — and record — key moments from his long and heroic life。 Writing in old leather-bound journals from his hermit’s hut， Obi-Wan remembers his days as a young Jedi Initiate， his trials as a Padawan， the crucible of Jedi Knighthood and the Clone Wars， and some of the earliest challenges he faced as a true Master of the Force！ And a watershed adventure on Coruscant， which he narrowly survived when he was but eight years of age， was just the beginning of Obi-Wan’s incredible Jedi journey…

Being that obi wants my favourite character in the Star Wars universe this was just amazing to get more background stories about his live。 Also to see more glimpses between him and Anakin is always nice。

My favorite Star Wars mini-series in awhile。 Weirdly excellent framing device？ Which feels like something no one ever says about anything？

Another anthology comic。 The first three stories are a bit of a bore。 The Apocalypse Now rip off is pretty fun and would've worked nice as a Clone Wars episode。 The final story says a lot about Obi as a character and is far out the best of the bunch。 Another anthology comic。 The first three stories are a bit of a bore。 The Apocalypse Now rip off is pretty fun and would've worked nice as a Clone Wars episode。 The final story says a lot about Obi as a character and is far out the best of the bunch。 。。。more

Obi-Wan is my favorite character， so any stories that highlight any part of his journey， I get excited about。 No huge reveals in this one， but it's a really fun anthology from different eras in the Star Wars timeline， that tell of some of his exploits。 If you are a fan of the character， it's a fun read！ Obi-Wan is my favorite character， so any stories that highlight any part of his journey， I get excited about。 No huge reveals in this one， but it's a really fun anthology from different eras in the Star Wars timeline， that tell of some of his exploits。 If you are a fan of the character， it's a fun read！ 。。。more

More like this please， so much more like this。 A wonderful combination of action and meditation， uncontaminated by references to anything Disneyfied。

**** （3。5 stars， probably， but I'm rounding up to 4 because my own review convinced me。 lol）。 I started reading these as single issues when they came out， but saved the last two issues to read together。The artwork is great throughout （I wasn't impressed with issue #4。。。the artist didn't really have the characters' expressions and facial features down， in my opinion， so they looked a bit wooden。 But the rest were filled with lovely art， and the issue covers are all fabulous！）。 I had some minor ni **** （3。5 stars， probably， but I'm rounding up to 4 because my own review convinced me。 lol）。 I started reading these as single issues when they came out， but saved the last two issues to read together。The artwork is great throughout （I wasn't impressed with issue #4。。。the artist didn't really have the characters' expressions and facial features down， in my opinion， so they looked a bit wooden。 But the rest were filled with lovely art， and the issue covers are all fabulous！）。 I had some minor nitpicks throughout。 Issue #1 shows Obi-Wan as a child， worried about losing his only friend （view spoiler）[when she leaves the Jedi。 I spent most of the issue thinking his friend was male before I realized she was female， her name "Gehren" was too close to the name of another SW legends character （"Garen"） who was also friends with Obi-Wan， and I was baffled as to why Obi-Wan felt so alone at the Jedi Temple。 It's an interesting perspective with a lot of room for character exploration， but I needed a better explanation and rationale for it。 Basically: show me why Obi-Wan feels alone and like Gehren is his only friend， don't just tell me me he feels this way。 Granted， that's hard to do in one issue， but maybe that's why I struggle with the storytelling in single-issue comics。 The lessons Obi-Wan learns in this issue and the plot itself were great， though。 （hide spoiler）] I think that issue was a strong start to the miniseries， and I adored the ending with Obi-Wan and Yoda， but the premise felt a bit。。。off。 And Issue #5 fell a bit flat for me。 （view spoiler）[I appreciate that it was showing Obi-Wan's innate compassion， that what it means to be a Jedi is， above all， to preserve life， even the life of an enemy。 That fits so well with Obi-Wan's character。 But for some reason， the way it was written and drawn， I felt like I was missing something。 It felt like they were hinting that the stormtrooper's identity was somehow important， or maybe that he was a character we should recognize。。。 but then nothing。 He's just a random stormtrooper。 Which， okay， that fits with the theme and the message--every life matters and saving any life is an act of kindness and compassion that embodies the Light。 It just felt like the issue was building up to something else， at least to me。。。 maybe because we'd already explored this theme of preserving and valuing life for the past two issues， so this was a bit of a re-tread of the same ground， just with an older Obi-Wan in a post-Order-66 time period。。。 so I guess that's probably the point？ To show us that even after Obi-Wan has lost everything， he's still the same compassionate person。 I just wanted a tiny bit of something more from this issue， I guess。 （hide spoiler）]But nitpicks aside， I particularly loved issues #2 and #3， and the whole miniseries is a great examination of what it means to be a Jedi and what makes Obi-Wan Kenobi who he is。 The conclusion is pretty simple: it's about seeking the light even when everything seems （or literally is） dark and hopeless; it's about preserving life， showing compassion and kindness even to people who seem utterly alien to you or who are literally killers or soldiers for the enemy。 The two issues set in the clone wars really show that Obi-Wan knows that being a soldier isn't really what a Jedi is meant to be， but with the galaxy crumbling and the Jedi stuck between a rock and a hard place， being involved in the war， while certainly a struggle， is also the best way they can work to preserve life and light in a darkening galaxy。 So， thematically， I loved every bit of it。This miniseries is not adding anything new or exciting to the Star Wars world; it is a character study and an exploration of what it means to be a Jedi。 On that level， it works beautifully。 Just don't go in expecting anything more dramatic or flashy than that。 These issues are small "slice of life" scenes。 Granted， the life of Obi-Wan Kenobi is more exciting than the life of pretty much anyone else in real life， so a "slice of life" for him is far from dull。 But the moments in these issues aren't the most pivotal or exciting moments in his life。 They are "ordinary" and show how those ordinary moments all demonstrate who Obi-Wan really is and what the Jedi really believe。 Which is also a nice message: we can all seek to promote compassion and hope even in small ways。 。。。more

i love obi-wan so much and i was so incredibly excited for this run。 that being said， it fell short in many ways。 the stories themselves weren’t that interesting and the appeal of making obi-wan content is to find out something new about him as a character。 the first one was by far the most interesting and they kind of tapered off as the run continued。 i’m happy i own these single issues but i can’t say i’d recommend buying a trade。
