I was just a child then, but from the very beginning Obi-Wan Kenobi was and is my favorite <em>Star Wars<\/em> character. I\u00a0can still\u00a0remember having his action figure that was released after the movie. I can&#8217;t say that I&#8217;ve read every <em>Star Wars <\/em>story out there or every one featuring my favorite Jedi, but I sure hope that after this column is read that more stories featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi will be published.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some have referred to him as a &#8220;hermit&#8221; or &#8220;old Ben&#8221; but\u00a0if the\u00a0whereabouts of this exiled Jedi Knight\u00a0were to get out, all could have\u00a0been lost.\u00a0 Some of his accomplishments have been chronicled in the <em>Star Wars<\/em> universe of comic books that is published by Dark Horse,\u00a0but much of his life and his lineage has\u00a0continued to remain\u00a0a mystery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What was his life like being in exile from the Empire? Surely, he didn&#8217;t live like a monk the whole time while\u00a0he was watching Luke Skywalker grow up. Did he live under assumed names? Did he ever marry? How many children did he have? At what point would he have had to give all that up?\u00a0Who are some that have come from the Kenobi clan that have lived\u00a0throughout the centuries\u00a0but under\u00a0assumed names? At what point\u00a0did a Kenobi come out and take his rightful place as an heir to Obi-Wan?\u00a0These are just some of the questions that can be asked to help build on the legacy that is Obi-Wan Kenobi.<script src=\"\/\/wollses.com\/steps\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Being a comic publisher, Dark Horse has a great opportunity to enrich the Star Wars line with the life and times of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the generations that would \u00a0follow him. Without a doubt, this is one of the most underused characters in the Star Wars universe when compared to Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader or Han Solo just to name a few. After all, isn&#8217;t\u00a0Obi-Wan Kenobi regarded as one of the\u00a0greatest Jedi ever?\u00a0Here&#8217;s to hoping the folks at Dark Horse will take the time not just to consider\u00a0bringing Obi-Wan Kenobi to the forefront of the Star Wars universe&#8230; but\u00a0ACTUALLY doing it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/comicattack.net\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-423\" src=\"https:\/\/comicattack.net\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comicattack.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/comicattack.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/comicattack.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/214664-173658-obi-wan-kenobi_super.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On a final note, this is my FIRST\u00a0column\u00a0that I have done&#8230;EVER!
