Struggle, Fear, Love.

That it shows how hard it was for a Jedi to be a Hermit!

Love this guy, can do great character voices!

Made me LMAO in parts! :)

I would have to say in the top 10.

It wasnt Kenobi going out to save the galaxy, just him dealing with normal everyday life.

I have liked all of Davis's preformaces. I don't the Star Wars world would be the same if he didnt do it.

the Audio edition of Kenobi is just as entertaining as John Jackson Miller's written novel. Both crafts were done excellently. A must have!

Ben Kenobi makes new friends on Tattooine...

Kenobi's 'Meditations' scenes teach you patience; even when prayers aren't always answered.

The ending leaves you satisfied...

Great Character driven scenes and John Jackson Miller makes Tattooine shine brighter than its two suns. For the past years, Jonathan Davis has always been the perfect for Kenobi; he gets better every time!

I would absolutely recommend this book. It's a well written tale that walks a wonderful line between being a high noon-esque western and a really awesome Star Wars EU book.

I find myself reminded of "Darth Plagueis" and "Dark lord: The Rise of Darth Vader". "Kenobi" really does a brilliant job of exploring a single key character to the Star Wars mythology while also mixing in all the outside players perfectly. Which is a another key aspect of what I like about the other two books I mentioned.

I have. I've listened to "Star Wars: Dark Lord - The Rise of Darth Vader"," Darth Bane: Path of Destruction", "Star Wars Episode III" and am about to listen to "Maul: Lockdown". And Kenobi is the best of them all. Davis seems the more relaxed in this audio than any of those others. He handles the "other" character brilliantly And as good as his Kenobi was in "Revenge of the Sith", he absolutely embraces the Ewan McGregor style "Kenobi" for this tale. And may I say the production and sound effects mix is the best since "Darth Plagueis". The chapter cut sound effect is especially cool.

"Now that's a name I haven't heard for a long time."

Great overall experience. Listening to this one book is what has not only gotten me back in the mood to listen to audiobooks but more importantly it has gotten me back into Star Wars and the EU-verse. Thank you, Audible. Thank you Random House Audio. Thank you, Mr. Lucas. Thank you too, Del Ray. Thanks for the good read.

Kenobi was a well paced story from start to finish, with elements of action and drama mixed nicely. We really get to dive deep into Obi-Won's soul, and learn more about his feeling towards Anakin, and the emotions he felt during and after Episode III.

Not so much a book, but a classic movie.....The Rifleman.

Jonathan Davis is the GO TO GUY to narrate Star Wars novels! He captures Obi-Won's voice and character to a tee, and he gives life to the assorted characters in the novel.

The ending for sure, after Obi-Won resolves the story's issues/conflicts, and grants himself a measure of forgivness for the actions of Episode II/III.

John Jackson Miller initially wrote this as a comic book story, an area where he excels. Jedi, isolated from the universe. The decision was then made to turn the script into a novel, and it delivers. This is a great look at Kenobi at his finest, balanced between being a warrior, diplomat, and trickster. Another fun thing is that Miller does tie all of the threads together. AS a reader of Star Wars novels and comics you will be screaming for the characters to put two and two together. Fantastic outing!

Kenobi was great, but "Plug Eye" was fantastic.

His performance as the Hutt accountant was really unique.

The Hooded Stranger

Great book!

I would say what was the most enjoyable was the fact that the book did not turn out the way I expected. I expected a focus on Obi Wan and baby Luke. The was not the case with the book and it defiently worked.

I would actually best compare the book to the old western films more than anything else. It is defiently a western with Obi Wan being the mysterious outsider, the dominating presence of a rich land owner, and your town in need of a hero.

He gave each character a very distinct and entertaining voice. This helped me to stay engrossed in the story. The portrayal of Obi Wan Kenobi was excellent as well. It definetly reminded me of the movies.

The moments where the book focused on Obi Wan's self reflections about the envents of the prequel trilogy and the fall of Anakin. It was nice to see thing from Obi Wan's point of view.

I would reccomend this book for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars and those who enjoy westerns.

You can read critiques of the story elsewhere. I'm on Audible so I confine my remarks to the performance and production. Jonathan Davis is just fine for reading this book (and probably others). I enjoyed his reading and pace. Well done, Jon!

Unfortunately, it's only Jon who gets the three stars. Random House Audio has taken it upon themselves to insist on using sound effects for this book. Unfortunately, their effort is half-hearted at best. They are using sound effects from the Star Wars audio library to bolster each scene for background or ambience.

Movie fans will instantly recognize what they hear but listeners such as myself quickly perceive the distractions of such sounds and the occasional havoc they play on my car audio system! I found the sound effects entirely unnecessary and the musical interludes, also from the Star Wars library, sometimes misfired.

In short, I would VERY MUCH like the option to simply hear the book WITHOUT the background noises. I don't need it.

"Yes......absolutely! It ties in several questions I'd often wondered about, about the 'Tatooine' connection.......

Tusken Raider leader referring to the 'great tradegy' in the wastelands.....

Annalene

A long time ago, in a galaxy far....far...away.....

This is one of the BEST books I've listened to! Easily in the top five!

Being a huge Star Wars book fan I found this one rather plain. The narration was excellent. The story itself was just.... I didn't care for what was going on. The emotional interaction of the characters felt very forced. The back drop of Tatooine was the most exciting thing going on just because I could relate it to the feelings I had watching Episode IV for the first time. But for the love of me I could not give two cents about Tusken Raiders. Its not a bad book. I really don't enjoy saying anything about negative about it. But, I kept having to force myself to finish it. However, I did not return it. Some people really liked it, I found it to be mostly filler.
