Writing in old leather-bound journals from his hermit's hut, Obi-Wan remembers his days as a young Jedi Initiate, his trials as a Padawan, the crucible of Jedi Knighthood and the Clone Wars, and some of the earliest challenges he faced as a true Master of the Force!
In this tale, Obi-Wan considers a watershed Youngling adventure he narrowly survived on Coruscant when he was but eight years

May 29, 2022This idea of Kenobi looking back to key moments from his younger life is a fun way of showing us what the younger and less experience Obi-Wan was like in a time before he became a full Jedi. I can't wait for the next issue. Read Full Review

May 04, 2022It's an exciting time to be an Obi-Wan fan and Star Wars: Obi-Wan #1 is a big reason why. The first issue delivers some impactful moments in Obi-Wan's days as a young boy with the promise of more. It also nails the voice of an older Obi-Wan who spends his days doing not much more than thinking about his past. Read Full Review

May 08, 2022I didnt really think that this comic was essential to get but if you are a fan of Obi Wan and Star Wars and want to find out more about a character that there is an entire period of their life missing from most of the stories then I would recommend this one. Read Full Review

Geek'd Out - Cameron Kieffer
May 04, 2022As the story progresses, the dynamic between Obi-Wan and his friend Gehren is delightful but it fizzles out far too soon, leaving one characters fate left up in the air (you can guess who). As such, the main story feels like its just a one-and-done with no real resolution. Its relatable in a way-the idea of growing apart from a good friend and never knowing what happens to them-but here it just seems like the start of a story that may never continue. Hopefully there is a theme or overarching narrative that will provide greater meaning to this series; otherwise it runs the risk of being another forgettable tie-in simply made to lead into Kenobis upcoming live-action series.

ComicBook.com - Patrick Cavanaugh
May 04, 2022Some of these figures might return in future installments, but this lighthearted adventure feels like a stark contrast from the book's opening pages, proving that this series surely has potential, yet might have some growing pains to get through to really find its footing and the right balance of exposition and insight into Kenobi's character that genuinely earns an exploration.

Bleeding Cool - James Hepplewhite
May 22, 2022The story of Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi #1, courtesy of Chris Cantwell, is essentially Obi-Wan writing his memoirs. The real story of Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi #1 is artist Ario Anindito's versatility. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Adrian Ruiz
Jan 01, 1970Star Wars: Obi-Wan #1 is off to a great start. If you are looking for a series to hold you over in between episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, then this is certainly the series for you. Readers are going to new things about one of the oldest characters in the Star Wars canon. There are stories to be told here and Cantwell is not looking to sugarcoat anything. It is clear that writer Cantwell is going deep with the inner workings of Obi-Wan Kenobi at likely his lowest point. There is no telling where we go from here as the flashbacks are going to span the life of a very accomplished Kenobi and that is not a bad thing. Read Full Review
