10 years after the battle of Mustafar and the betrayal of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi gets still nightmares about this night everynight and he still suffers from his loss. After all these years of doing nothing except giving himself the fault for everything, Obi-Wan has to go on a new adventure. He has to help Voile, who needs his help to rescue her father, who has been kidnapped by the gangsterboss Lomali Rono. But on their journey across Tatooine goes not everything well and Obi-Wan has to use his lightsaber and his old Jedi skills again. That leads to rumors going around in the galaxy, about a Jedi on Tatooine. After Darth Vader heard about this, he sends some of his stormtroopers, including Obi-Wan's old friend Cody, to search for him. But the worst part of all is that Voile reminds Obi-Wan a lot about Anakin, the person he tried to forget about. (If you have some suggestions, then please add them. I need more.)
