Star Wars Will FIll In Obi-Wan's Missing Years

One of the Star Wars' great unanswered questions is what could have happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi after he got defeated by Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader. Many also consider the result of Obi-Wan Kenobi's rescue of the twins, Luke and Leia - in Revenge of the Sith.

And on Tatooine decades later as depicted in A New Hope, the outcome happens when he encounters the adult Luke Skywalker.

In the upcoming Star Wars No. 7 comic book, Marvel is going to fill in the blanks of Obi-Wan Kenobi. As Obi-Wan in the popular comic series will sacrifice himself to Darth Vader which will be the subsequent destruction of the first Death Star and Luke Skywalker will be back on Tatooine exploring the hut of his mentor.

In that, Luke will discover the journal of Obi-Wan, "the secret history of Ben Kenobi" where the Jedi became a desert hermit.

An adequate detail ahead of the issue Marvel has released, which can be obtained later this month, and soon there after, comes a newly released preview page, "Now, experience Kenobi's harrowing accounts of days long gone by! It is a time when injustice reigned on Tattooine. As villainous scum runs rampant over the blistering sands, only a Jedi Master stands any hope of liberating the planet from the grasp of gangs, thieves and thugs. But would Ben risk everything to do what was right? Even if it meant revealing himself to those searching for his whereabouts?"

In the animated TV series Star Wars Rebels, Obi-Wan's character briefly surfaced, and then also appears in Episodes III and IV. The post-Sith adventures since Lucasfilm's acquisition by Disney becomes Obi-Wan's most complete official account.

A 10-book YA novel series titled The Last of the Jedi which covers similar ground. A brooding Obi-Wan went into hiding on Tatooine to be close to young Skywalker was shown in that series, and then while assembling a band of surviving Jedi and dodging Imperial forces, the master Jedi eventually finds a new Padawan to train.
