[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A few months after the events in Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi finds himself settling into his exile on Tatooine. In between guarding baby Luke Skywalker, he finds himself becoming accustomed to the life of a hermit, regretting the loss of Anakin Skywalker and brooding about the Jedi lives that were lost. But when he hears that the former Jedi apprentice Ferus Olin is alive and a wanted fugitive on the planet Bellassa, he feels compelled to help save him. But can he risk leaving Luke unguarded? He eventually goes and finds himself alone, without backup, and facing the scrutiny of the newly formed Empire. Little does he realize that by helping Ferus he'll help plant the seeds of the Rebellion that will eventually overthrow the Empire.
