Star Wars publishing wasn't going to let Disney+ have all the fun when it comes to Obi-Wan Kenobi, as Del Rey recently published Brotherhood, by Mike Chen, which explores the relationship between Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in the very early days of the Clone Wars.

"What happens when the light of the Jedi goes dark?" That question permeated much of the lead-up to the release of the highly-anticipated end of the first phase of the High Republic storytelling initiative, Claudia Gray's The Fallen Star. The era kicked off a year ago with Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi, a triumphant [...]
The second wave of The High Republic books are underway, headlined by the brilliant and devastating novel The Rising Storm, written by Cavan Scott, that serves as the headliner to this wave of storytelling.

This year is the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, a film that continues to stand out in the saga as perhaps the best of the best, widely considered to be the greatest of all Star Wars films. There has been a lot of celebration, and that continued with the recent release of From [...]
Ever since Ben Kenobi in A New Hope introduced us to the lightsaber, we've been hooked. "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight," he tells Luke Skywalker. "Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age." In the decades since, we have seen tons of different lightsabers, [...]
