Canon Linked from 300 articles

The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi is a young-adult novel written by Ryder Windham. The book was originally scheduled for release in October 2008, one year after the release of its predecessor, The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader. It retells the story of the first six Star Wars films from the point of view of Obi-Wan Kenobi. In addition, it contains a prologue and several interludes from Luke Skywalker's perspective, between the times of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. While the majority of the book recaps previously told stories, it does introduce some new elements into Star Wars canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.
