The new “Star Wars” book “Skywalker: A Family at War” has some details about Obi-Wan Kenobi that might hint at what’s to play out in the upcoming “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Disney+ series.
What ‘A Family at War’ says
According to ComicBook.com, Kristin Baver’s new book “Skywalker: A Family at War” describes how Obi-Wan Kenobi learns to communicate with his former master Qui-Gon Jinn, who has passed on into the netherworld of the Force.
- “Before he and Yoda had parted ways, the old Jedi revealed that Obi-Wan’s beloved master Qui-Gon Jinn had returned from the netherwold of the Force, manifesting his conscious mind even after death. It took 10 years, but eventually Obi-Wan was able to commune with his dearest friend, resurrected within the cosmic Force,” the book explains, according to a Reddit leak.
This could mean something for the upcoming “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Disney+ series because it takes place 10 years after “Revenge of the Sith,” which suggests the two events could sync up.
Would Liam Neeson return?
Liam Neeson, who played Qui-Gon Jinn, recently told Collider he hasn’t heard much about the show.
- “I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t heard that at all,” he said.
- But, he added, “Sure, I’d be up for that, yeah.”
When does ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ debut?
It’s unclear. The release date for Disney+ has not been confirmed, as I wrote about for the Deseret News.
