In this original novel set between the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi comes to the aid of the denizens of Tatooine during his exile. But he struggles with his new mission when he realizes that protecting Luke Skywalker - the last hope of the galaxy - means setting aside his compassion and his Jedi warrior training, for the future of the galaxy lies not with Obi-Wan Kenobi, but with a mystical desert recluse known only by the name of Crazy Old Ben.
