There’s a lot of weirdness in those choices to me, from the choice to not cover that maturing friendship in the anthology series that covered the gap between films, but also by defining that friendship, not in the period of time where they were master and padawan, but in the three year period leading to Anakin’s fall, which is, uuuh, shorter.
They hardly interact in The Phantom Menace, are at each other’s throats in Attack of the Clones, but suddenly, in Revenge of the Sith-and maybe more bizarrely, The Clone Wars-they’re partners, comrades, brothers. Part of it has simply been that the leaps the narrative took between films made their relationship progress in a way that didn’t feel good to me. Unfortunately, it’s a relationship that has mostly never really worked for me, primarily in the prequel films, and The Clone Wars. It is a foundational relationship to the saga in general. The friendship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker is core to Star Wars, going back to some of the first lines of dialogue Sir Alec Guinness read. Written by Mike Chen, it will be available to read on May 10th. Star Wars: Brotherhood is a new prose novel that takes place after Attack of the Clones during one of the earliest adventures of The Clone Wars.
