Now another non-canonical entry from the old Expanded Universe, John Jackson Miller’s recounting of the early months of Obi-Wan’s exile on Tatooine is sure to prove a fascinating contrast to the upcoming show. It’s a novel where Obi-Wan really isn’t the main character, and more about how his arrival in the life of Tatooine oasis store owner Annileen Calwell changes her life forever—and the push and pull between Obi-Wan’s inherent desire to do good in the world while keeping himself secreted away from watchful eyes. A fascinatingly small-stakes and intimate story that the upcoming series would do well to takea few ideas from.
