Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

In 0 ABY, Imperial stormtroopers made an attack on a small Chubbit encampment being used by a Rebel gunrunner to sell arms to the Chubbit resistance. The Human gunrunner and his Chubbit allies attempted to flee, but their escape was only made possible when a man attacked the Imperial forces with a lightsaber. The Chubbit resistance fighters and their guest escaped, and the man introduced himself as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Nevertheless, he was actually an imposter working for Darth Vader.
