Many fans of “Star Wars” have always been curious what Obi-Wan Kenobi did all that time between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope.” Finally a new comic book from Marvel will bring some clarity.
Following “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” we found Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor) heading out alone after bringing twins Luke and Leia to safety from their father Anakin Skywalker — who by then had become Darth Vader.
The original film in the sage, “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope,” shows “Ben” Kenobi (played by Alec Guinness) as an elder Jedi living in seclusion on Tatooine until he’s thrust back into the Rebel cause after crossing paths with the adult Luke.
Kenobi dies by the hands of Vader in “A New Hope” and that looks to be where the comic book “Star Wars #7” begins (available July 8).
According to the book’s description on the Marvel site, Skywalker comes across Kenobi’s journals after returning to his home world of Tatooine following the events that occur in “A New Hope.” The writings he uncovers are his master’s experience on the planet during “a time when injustice reigned.”
