Editing Obi-Wan Kenobi (section)

==== Novels ====
Obi-Wan's life prior to ''The Phantom Menace'' is portrayed mostly in [[Jude Watson]]'s ''[[Jedi Apprentice]]'' series, which follows his adventures as Qui-Gon's apprentice. Notable events in the series include his battle with the Dark Jedi Xanatos and his first independent mission. Watson's ''[[Jedi Quest]]'' series details his adventures with Anakin in the years leading up to ''Attack of the Clones''. His heroism just before and during the Clone Wars is portrayed in novels such as ''[[Outbound Flight]]'', ''[[The Approaching Storm]]'', and ''[[The Cestus Deception]]''. Obi-Wan's life between ''Revenge of the Sith'' and ''Star Wars'' is depicted in ''[[The Last of the Jedi]]'' series. Set roughly a year after the fall of the Republic, the series follows Obi-Wan as he seeks out possible survivors of the [[Great Jedi Purge]], including Anakin's former rival, Ferus Olin. The novels also depict Obi-Wan adjusting to life as a hermit on Tatooine while watching over Luke. He discovers that Vader is still alive after seeing him on the Holonet, the galaxy's official news source.

Obi-Wan appears in the final chapter of ''[[Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader]]'', which takes place just after ''Revenge of the Sith''. He learns with alarm that Vader survived their duel on Mustafar, but Qui-Gon assures him that Vader will not set foot on Tatooine for fear of reawakening Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon advises him not to reveal to Luke his true parentage until the time is right. In various novels set after ''Return of the Jedi'', Obi-Wan appears as a Force spirit. In ''[[The Truce at Bakura]]'', he warns Luke about the {{No wrap|Ssi-ruuk}}; in ''[[The Lost City of the Jedi]]'', he guides him to the eponymous city on [[Yavin IV|Yavin 4]]; in ''[[Heir to the Empire]]'', he bids farewell to Luke, explaining that he must abandon his spiritual form and ascend to a higher plane of consciousness. Before parting, Luke says that Obi-Wan was like a father to him, and Obi-Wan replies that he loved Luke like a son. The novel ''Kenobi'' (2013) tells the story of Obi-Wan's first days of exile on Tatooine.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Miller |first=John Jackson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NTkuAAAAQBAJ |title=Kenobi |date=2013 |publisher=Random House Publishing Group |isbn=978-0-345-54683-8 |language=en}}</ref>
