BEING A TEEN IS ALREADY TOUGH, BUT IT'S EVEN HARDER WHEN YOU'RE ALSO TRAINING TO BE A JEDI….
Obi-Wan Kenobi hasn't been Qui-Gon Jinn's apprentice for very long, and he's getting impatient with Qui-Gon's teaching methods: too much meditation, not enough action. Obi-Wan is eager to prove his worth on a real mission. When he and Qui-Gon are finally scheduled to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon suddenly disappears. Frustrated by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan decides to go on the mission by himself, determined to show what he can do. He finds himself on a strange planet where he meets a group of wild, Force-sensitive teenagers who appear to be the only ones living there. As he enjoys the freedom he finds with them and starts to wonder if this is the life he should be living, Obi-Wan can't shake the feeling that something isn't right with the Force on this planet. As he forms connections, uncovers surprising truths, and faces a growing threat to both the planet and his new friends, Obi-Wan is forced to confront his biggest fear: that he might not be meant to be a Jedi at all. Can he connect with the living Force in time to save himself and everyone around him?
