Star Wars: Kenobi

A look into how Obi-Wan Kenobi was known as Ben in Tatooine. He only wants to be left alone (so that nobody realizes he's a Jedi) but he keeps getting tangled into local affairs. It was interesting to get to know a little bit about the sand people and the constant tension with the farmers. It covers a short period of his time there when he basically helps dissolve local grievances. A day in the life of Ben Kenobi.

Oh, this was good... this was a story of Obi Wan, now of course under the name Ben, how he adjusts to life on Tatooine starting mere moments after he gave Luke to the Lars family. He tries to avoid everyone around him - but of course that doesn't go anywhere. He tries to figure out who this Ben Kenobi is, can he shut off being a Jedi and trying to help people, all while trying to not bring any attention to Luke. And it's a great ride to tag along on with him.

Generally a good imagination of what Obi-Wan's introduction to Tatooine might have been like.

A tempting of character possibilities becomes impeded by the slow unfolding boring standard Western genre fare. Hopefully a follow up about the other 19 years that Kenobi spent on Tatooine will be more compelling.

This is an excellent addition to the Star Wars Cannon, as Kenobi struggles with the trials of trying to not be a hero. I heard it described as Star Wars meets Firefly, but that's not quite accurate. While the overtones defiantly have a Western genre theme, it is not quite to the caliber of a Whedon'verse drama, but it does come close.
