One thing that I'm really looking forward into the overall Star Wars run are these standalone but connected tales. Aaron and Mayhew nail it in a big way here that the more I thought about it and wrote about it, the more I realized just how much it worked for me. The first reading establishes things well, but when you dig into the character dialogue, the echoes and the familiar aspects as well as how it gets you to think of other events through this picture it all comes together in a really great way. Pretty much everything about this worked for me and you could easily see it, combined with what came before and what's coming up, serving as a rough draft script for a film that can be expanded upon in a great way. Few comics really make me feel that, even within the Star Wars comics that have been produced so far. Read Full Review

Vivid and beautiful art propels this lost chapter of Luke's life and details elements we assumed and can now confirm from the original film. Read Full Review

This issue is mostly a reintroduction to the central characters and setup for a future conflict, which is acceptable given how great Aaron's script is. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though Aaron and company will be returning to this storyline anytime soon, as next issue begins the “Rebel Jail” story arc. Despite this, STAR WARS #15 succeeds at everything it sets out to do and also introduces us to the incredibly talented Mike Mayhew, who we can only hope will return to illustrate more STAR WARS comics once Jason Aaron gets around to furthering the story he begins here.

With exception to the lettering, this is a good book, showing what Ben and Luke were doing between films. Must reading for Star Wars fans. Read Full Review

Star Wars #15 changes the pace without breaking the streak of amazing comics by Jason Aaron. Mike Mayhew joins him for the ride this time and delivers some great work, making Star Wars #15 another winner. You can't miss with Star Wars. Read Full Review

Under Marvels stewardship, the Star Wars franchise has hit such a stride that even tales of Obi-Wans time hiding as a hermit are utterly engrossing. And that proven quality of the franchise has clearly attracted the top artistic talent in the industry today, including this issues Mike Mayhew. Star Wars #15 may be a side-story plot-wise, but its outstanding quality makes it absolutely essential. Read Full Review

Star Wars #15 gave us yet another amazing tale featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi, and although it may be a while before we see the next part of this saga, it remains a thrilling addition between arcs. The creative team behind this one-shot tale also gave us some thrilling twists, with some elements leaving a lot to speculate over. Read Full Review

These Obi-Wan-centric issues may seem slow at first glance but once again they provide a well constructed palate cleanser before Aaron kicks up a ruckus again with a new story arc. Read Full Review

Great art and interesting storytelling choices lend themselves to Star Wars #15, which is an enjoyable read. The flashbacks are becoming a little bit of a tease though, and the story gets lost amongst the events of the main story arc. Read Full Review

Perhaps the only downside to the issue is the ending, which depicts Jabba the Hutt hiring a new bounty hunter to track Obi-Wan. When it's revealed what the bounty hunter is, the result comes across as more silly than anything else. Overall, however, Star Wars #15 is a great addition to the Star Wars canon, and hopefully we'll see more of this era throughout Aaron's series. Read Full Review

Star Wars #15 offers a welcome detour from the series' ongoing threads. It sheds more light on Obi-Wan's hidden years on Tatooine, his secret bond with a young Luke Skywalker and his rivalry with Uncle Owen. The art impresses with its high level of detail, though that also causes some storytelling problems along the way. But on the whole, fans should find this issue to be a worthy detour.

"Star Wars" #15 is a filler issue and could be skipped. I'm still on board with the series though because it has proven to be very enjoyable. If anything, the problems in this issue make me even more wanting of a flat out solo series for Obi-Wan where these things can be explored in full. Read Full Review

"Star Wars" comes out of the "Vader Down" crossover with a one-shot about Obi-Wan watching over young Luke. The comic provides some of the same old characters that you have come to expect from Luke's home world during this time period. The highlight of the comic is Owen's confrontation with Obi-Wan. The comic has some humor and some good moments and a touch of action. The book is presented with a beautiful style of artwork that really makes this comic come alive. Overall, the story and the moments aren't really anything that hasn't been covered in comics, short stories or novels before. This is a decent read but nothing terribly different. Read Full Review

A very exceptional Obi-Wan story. He's always been my favorite Jedi and this issue gives us a little more information about what Obi Wan was doing while he was in exile and it also explains why Owen Lars and Kenobi had some issues in A New Hope. The art is great, Obi Wan looks like a mix of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness.

The art is outstanding.

I liked it, even though it has some prequel stank on it.

More fluff that goes no where and does nothing.

Didn't appeal to me
