He waited until Anakin finished and settled into his seat, a simple vegetable soup on the tray in front of him, and gave his former apprentice several seconds to enjoy his setup before barging in. The Jedi refectory was nearly empty, so much so that Anakin must have figured no one would notice if he changed the configuration of the holodisplays from a rolling list of schedules and menus to a podrace from some remote world. Right before he spoke, he’d spotted Anakin by himself but stayed quiet. Set in the early years of the war, Obi-Wan is about to investigate a disaster on the planet Cato Neimoidia, but not before telling Anakin of a surprising task he has been called to perform. To celebrate the book’s release this next week, Del Rey offered Polygon an exclusive excerpt from Brotherhood. “So to document the transition between Anakin and Obi-Wan as prickly master/apprentice to the brotherly team you see in the Clone Wars movie, it makes Brotherhood a true dream project.” “The prequel era is my favorite time period in Star Wars and the Clone Wars series may be my favorite piece of Star Wars media,” Chen told Polygon. The latest Star Wars novel from Del Rey was written by Mike Chen and will hit shelves on May 10.

While we wait on the May 27 premiere on Disney Plus, Star Wars: Brotherhood will give fans another tale exploring the complicated relationship between the former master and his infamous apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan Kenobi, the upcoming limited miniseries in Disney’s recent slate of live-action Star Wars television spinoffs, will premiere next month, and with it, Ewan McGregor will reprise the role of the legendary Jedi Master turned Tatooine hermit.
