review 1: This was just crap. It just annoyed me to no end. I wanted a story about Kenobi in exile, but instead I got a dumb story about "american settlers in the desert" and their struggle against some bad people. The characters even have old southern american names like Annileen Calwell and Jabe. Give me a fucking break, seriously. The Star Wars universe is a pretty big thing, so there is no need to go to something as rediculous as an episode of Bonanza when you write a book about Kenobi. It is a HUGE galaxy with insane technology, locations and stories ... why the hell am I reading about Annileen and Jabe and their farm when I want to know about Kenobi the JEDI MASTER in exile. Stay away from this sad sad book. Jesus I was bored. I hated it.
review 2: Thank you, Mr. M... moreiller! Kenobi is absolutely wonderful! I'm not an avid Star Wars novel reader, but I thoroughly enjoyed this brilliantly-written 'lost-era' tale. Tattooine is a rugged place, filled with corruption, greed, ruthless savages and mighty beasts; yet, it is home to those who are strong enough to overcome it's harsh, daunting façade and it's unrelenting twin suns. Obi-Wan Kenobi has made this his home, now; exiled, alone and living with the still-fresh wounds of Anakin's betrayal to the everything he held dear, Kenobi seeks to 'blend in'; his only care, protecting Luke Skywalker from harm, in a galaxy ruled by the empire, and the Sith Lords who would destroy Luke, if they knew of his existence.Kenobi is a must-have for any Star Wars fan, as it sheds light on the events leading-up to how Obi-Wan becomes 'Old Ben,' that crazy hermit in the desert. It gives us a broad and colorful view of life on Tattooine and the settlers who farm the air for its precious commodity: water. [This novel] seeks to give us a new understanding of the nomadic and murderous Tusken Raiders, making the reader become sympathetic to their misunderstood ways and barbarism. Also, Kenobi gives a vivid account of everyday life for the settlers who live on this arid, unforgiving rock; creating a band of new characters filled with life, soul and unimpeachable strengths.Obi-Wan becomes embroiled in the struggles of an oasis town, while trying to remain aloof and anonymous; so he can keep Luke safe, as-well-as, keep his true identity secret from those who would thwart him. But, when he's forced to choose sides, Kenobi shows us what a true Jedi Master can accomplish, when his back is pushed against the walls of destiny.This is Star Wars at its best; and, John Jackson Miller proves, once-again, he can pass the test. May the Force be with you, as you turn these pages; as nothing is what it seems, and - nothing will be the same when the dust settles, on Tattooine. less
