The Creche

Not only that, but rumors of Jinn’s master, Dooku, leaving the order are starting to worry Obi-Wan even more. Things were so much simpler as an initiate. Kenobi is having doubts he’ll ever get knighted at this rate…

Bits and Pieces
This story introduces us to a very young, self-doubting, scared boy who is working his hardest to become the Jedi hero he knows he’s expected to be. Along the way, Kenobi finds out what it’s like outside of the Jedi Order, and what family means to others. The story is interesting and mysterious and lets us get to know the insecure boy who will eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters ever.
This is a must-read for Kenobi fans and anyone who wants to see what it’s like for a self-critical young man to find a way to rise to his expectations, hopes, and dreams.
