Star Wars: Comics In Canon Ep 11: How Obi-Wan & Anakin Almost Left The Order Before The Clone Wars

This week Mike delves into the five-part mini-series; Obi-Wan & Anakin which involves one of their first missions together, how Anakin almost left the order at 12 years old, Palpatine’s early involvement in Anakin’s life and more – all set three years after Phantom Menace (29 BBY) meaning Anakin had been training as a jedi for three years at this point! All 5 issues of Obi-Wan & Anakin are written by Charles Soule, the artist is Marco Checchetto and Andres Mossa is the colourist. Issue #1 was released January 2016 and issue #5 was released May 2016. The collection of these was released in July 2016! Last week Mike spoke about the Han Solo’s time as an Imperial Cadet. Previous episodes have been about the Rogue One & Solo comics, planet Mon Cala, Krait & DJ from Last Jedi and Captain Phasma, Operation Cinder, how C-3PO got his red arm, Darth Maul beyond The Phantom Menace and for episode 1 The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic was talked about.
