Star Wars: Obi-Wan And Anakin Paperback – July 19, 2016

This is a story I have long been interested in. What was training Anakin like? Short answer: it makes for a great comic mini-series. The basic setup is Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a distress signal sent out on a barren planet in the outer rim. Upon arrival they discover a civil war between the inhabitants, and have no knowledge of who contacted them and why. It is from here our story begins.Interspersed throughout the comic are flashbacks to Anakin training at the Jedi Temple, where we begin to see how he was during the 10 years between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (this is set 3 years after Menace, making Anakin 12), and the weight Obi-Wan feels training him. I want to talk about more, but do not want to risk spoiling this great addition to the Star Wars canon and is definitely worth your time.

I really liked this issue as it brings us to a time we really don't get to see in the new cannon. A young Anakin and Obi wan crash on to a planet that's been destroyed by it's inhabitants and must make the two sides come together. It shows how Palpatine is planting the seeds of trust, and shows us how flawed the Republic can be. Overall I think it was a good read and provides some good background into the new cannon.

Really enjoyed this story! They brought in a new adventure to read about while providing good back story around the central Star Wars premise and characters. Loved this look at the relationship between Anakin and Obi Wan and the Jedi.

This is definitely not the best Star Wars story I've ever read, but it most definitely isn't the worst either. Being a fan of the prequel era and the relationship of Obi-wan and Anakin, this graphic novel was a great edition to Disney's new cannon.The art is top notch to go along with a pretty decent narrative that reminded me of the old cannon books such as the Jedi Apprentice or Jedi Quest line from the old cannon. The setting, being a new planet that felt like a steam punk world, was quite an interesting addition. However, I did not find the inhabitants of that planet to be all that interesting.What stuck out to me was the dynamic between Obi-Wan and Anakin. It delved into the idea of how does destiny and free will co-exist in the life of a Jedi? How does one choose what the right thing to do is in the service of the Galactic Senate. Overall, this was absolutely worth a read.

It arrived pristine and new, on-time. The pictures were stunning, the plot interesting and easy enough to follow (although the summary made me sad again when they HAD to mention Mustafar).Other than the Mustafar thing, I have no complaints, whatsoever. Even that is just a minor thing. This comic is FLAWLESS, 100/100 would recommend!

Good to see Palpatines involvement with Anakin starting early. Lends more context to the pollution he produces in Anakin’s mind. Plus we get to see some of Anakin’s training in the temple, and more of the complex relationship between so Obi-Wan and Anakin.

This is a great read and gives some good background into the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, as well as showing how Palpatine's grooming of Anakin started at a very young age. The art is amazing as well.My only gripe is that I feel like this is too short. This definitely should've been an ongoing series.

Nice customer support I could say. They were very prompt in solving a mistake that was unfortunately made in my case. When you buy comics online this is of major importance imho. Very helpful if you have questions too.
