Young Obi-Wan Kenobi Novel ‘Star Wars: Padawan’ Arrives July 26th
Disney Lucasfilm Press will be releasing Star Wars: Padawan, the new novel by New York Times best-selling author Kiersten White next week, July 26th. The book will follow the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi on his journey to becoming the faithful Jedi fans have come to know and love.
Here’s the official synopsis for the book:
Struggling to accept his master’s training style – all meditation, no action – a young Obi-Wan Kenobi yearns to prove himself on a mission. But when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master’s abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself. As he experiences wild freedom with them and wonders if this isn’t the life he was meant for, Obi-Wan can’t escape the nagging sense that something is wrong with the Force there. Growing attachments, startling revelations, and a looming threat to both the planet and his new friends will bring Obi-Wan face-to-face with his worst fear: that maybe he was never supposed to be a Jedi at all. Can he connect with the living Force in time to save himself and everyone around him?
A few months ago, White teased on Twitter that the story would also include Dexter Jettster and his adventures with young Obi-Wan in the Unknown Regions.
Star Wars: Padawan is already available to pre-order here. Look forward to our review coming soon! Check out the cover here:
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
