Looks good!
I just finished Clone Wars recently, and saw Episode 3 immediately afterwards to follow the flow of continuity. I'll be watching Rebels soon.

I hope this comic explains how he goes from being a bad-ass yet charming and wise Jedi Master to a stuffy bitch in New Hope who dies in 2 minutes.

Seriously guys, i've started to re-evaluate the Original Trilogy now.
Vader's just a stuffy robot (He was best in Empire Strikes back, and those 2 force choke scenes in New Hope), Luke just whines like a bitch and Palpatine, the greatest Sith Lord ever, is defeated by being thrown down a [frick]ing shaft. It's really really annoying.

I'm curious why he has Luke's lightsaber, which Luke built, from Return of the Jedi.

They should make that Kenobi book from a few years ago a part of canon. It was really good. Could easily fit into the new canon.

@KilgoreTrout,

It only looks that way because the designs used for Luke's saber during ROTJ were based on Kenobi's notes that were left behind using his war saber as the main concept.

I love the idea of doing a "Shane" but with Ben Kenobi on tatooine

Wasn't OB1 about 35 in 'Revenge of the Sith'? And he was about 65 in SW so... that leaves about 3 decades of content missing.

The comic looks very interesting and I hope they do get Ewan back to film his own few movies as that shit should be awesome.

Wait... isn't the timeline between Sith and Hope about 20 years? Either way, lotsa hands to lop off in two or three decades. Sounds good to me.

@REPOMAN

Agreed. Strongly agreed. I don't know why McGregor gets so much kudos for that role, it barely felt like Guiness's Obi-Wan even taking into consideration age differences.

I guess if you're the best of the worst, well people need something to latch onto...
