Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin


Obi-Wan & Anakin, presented as Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin, represents a canon comic book miniseries. Charles Soule penned the story, while Marco Checchetto provided the artwork. The narrative unfolds in this five-part series approximately three years following the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. It primarily follows Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight, and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, as they investigate a cryptic distress signal on the planet of Carnelion IV. Interspersed throughout the issues are flashback sequences that explore the genesis of Anakin's confidence in Sheev Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor.
