We discuss the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi adventure as he travels to the planet Lenahra in Kiersten White’s Padawan.
2022 has seen a lot of Obi-Wan content compared to recent years with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ and Mike Chen’s novel Brotherhood. Now, Kiersten White brings Star Wars fans Padawan. This is a young adult novel that features a story of Obi-Wan as a younger padawan unsure of his place with the Jedi and as Qui-Gon Jinn’s apprentice. When Obi-Wan stumbles upon a mystery in the Jedi temple, he soon finds himself on his first Jedi mission. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss Kiersten White’s novel and Obi-Wan’s first adventure.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts and impressions of this young adult novel,
- The setting and timing of Padawan,
- Padawan’s struggle with finding his place among the Jedi,
- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Dex’s first meeting,
- Connections to The High Republic,
- The unique Force ecosystem of Lenahra, and
