----------------------------------------------------.
Dismissed by toiling moisture
farmers and dusty locals as nothing more than a crazy old hermit, Ben Kenobi
resides in reflective solitude in his hut near the edge of Tatooine's Jundland
Wastes. The gentle old wizard, however, is far more than he seems. Among the
last of his kind, Ben Kenobi is in fact Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight of the Old
Republic from the days before the rise of the evil Empire.
An age ago, when Obi-Wan was counted among the most esteemed of Jedi Masters,
his promising pupil Anakin Skywalker was rumored to be the chosen one, whom
prophecy had said would bring balance to the Force. To Obi-Wan, Anakin was a
brother and friend. Despite their contrasting styles and philosophies, they
fought side by side, an undefeatable partnership, in the Clone Wars to preserve
the Republic.
But, seduced by power and manipulated through fear of loss, Anakin fell into the
grip of the Dark Side, becoming an agent of evil in the Sith Lord Palpatine's
plot to enslave the Galaxy. Obi-Wan, having witnessed the fall of his friend,
the betrayal of the Jedi and the destruction of everything he had known and
loved, was forced to confront Anakin Skywalker - now Darth Vader- in a fateful
duel upon the lava world of Mustafar. Despite Vader's hate-fed power, Obi-Wan
overcame his adversary and turned his back upon the maimed and defeated Vader,
little more than a burned char of the friend he once knew, to go into exile
himself.
For decades now, from his lonely desert retreat, old Obi-Wan has watched the
Empire spread inexorably across space. Under the rule of the self-proclaimed
Emperor Palpatine and his machine-sustained apprentice, the disfigured Vader,
dark times have befallen the Galaxy. Yet hope comes in the form of the child
that Obi-Wan has watched over all these years. Young Luke Skywalker, the son of
Anakin, growing up on his uncle's moisture farm, feels the call of adventure in
his blood, though he is oblivious to the fate that awaits him or the truth of
the father he never knew.
