"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."...it is an exciting yet challenging time in the lives of two remarkable young people. Obi-Wan Kenobi has attained the honored title of Master in the Jedi Order. Anakin Skywalker is his Padawan learner, striving to become a Jedi Knight. Together, the pair travel the cosmos, both learning to serve their galactic home as "guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic," even as they learn the ways of the Force," an energy field created by all living things." They are also still learning to work as a team."Obi-Wan and Anakin" is a trade paperback book collecting a 5 issue mini-series published by Marvel Comics in 2016 and marks a first in the company's history. While Marvel was the first comic publisher to produce "Star Wars" comics back in 1977 through to 1986 (followed by Dark Horse Comics' long and successful publishing era from 1991 through 2015), this comic adventure, well written by Charles Soule and beautifully illustrated by Marco Checchetto, is the first "Star Wars" comic tale since The Saga returned to Marvel in 2014 to take place during the time of "the Prequel Trilogy" of films of "Star Wars" creator George Lucas. But beyond that distinction, "Obi-Wan and Anakin" is a rewarding comic reading experience.A few short years after the events of "Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace," a cryptic distress call is sent out to the stars requesting aide from the Jedi. Master Obi-Wan and his young apprentice Anakin respond to the plea for help but crashland on the planetary source of the signal, Carnelion IV.
