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.

Publisher's summary[]

Overlooked as a Padawan, he was to become one of the most revered Masters of all.

Sworn to serve the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, his own apprentice would bring about their destruction.

Powerless to retrieve Darth Vader from the dark side, he would train the only one who could.

This is the legendary story of Obi-Wan Kenobi, from his first meeting with Anakin Skywalker to his final meeting with Darth Vader—and beyond....

Continuity[]

On pages 28–30, both the spellings "Ord Sigatt" and "Ord-Sigatt" are used. Asajj Ventress's homeworld, Rattatak, is mistakenly referred to as "Rattaka" on page 90. Kashyyyk is misspelled with two y's on page 94. Furthermore, The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi uses both "X-wing" and "X-Wing" capitalizations on pages 196–199.
