Star Wars #15 is about as significant a change in pace as one could imagine in the wake of the recent "Vader Down" crossover. This issue offers the second in Jason Aaron's recurring series of flashback stories exploring Obi-Wan Kenobi's life on Tatooine. It's a much quieter issue, certainly, but one with a lot of heart and humor.
Aaron could easily have devoted this issue to exploring Obi-Wan's lonely existence of suffering and pining for the lost days of the Old Republic. And that might have been a perfectly valid approach. But instead he delivers a surprisingly humorous and heartfelt script that focuses on Obi-Wan slowly and secretly guiding Luke in his journey from humble desert brat to defender of the galaxy. He portrays Obi-Wan as a doddering loner who deals with solitude by talking to himself and complaining about his nonstop diet of snake stew. The issue veers into slightly more dramatic territory when Obi-Wan has an encounter with the gruff Uncle Owen and the two argue over the fate of Anakin Skywalker's son. This is a fascinating glimpse at a relationship that was only ever alluded to in the original films.
