Dunno how I feel about this one. It takes place after Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan has brought infant Luke to live with his 'relatives' on Tatooine. He is tasked with watching over Luke, to protect him, as his is the Galaxy's only hope (even though Leia exists.)

Obi-Wan takes on the moniker Ben and spends much of his time meditating and trying to commune with Qui-Gon (and failing), trying to stay out of sight of Owen Lars, Luke's Uncle/Guardian who hates him for who knows what reason, and trying to remain anonymous. No such luck.

The problem I had with this is, it's called Kenobi and I expected it to be an Obi-Wan story, but he's more of a side character in his own story. Everything revolved around Analine and her family, friends and enemies (by association.)

The story was fine as Star Wars adventures go, but the lack of focus on Obi-Wan was disappointing to me.
