![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chen develops both characters in separate arcs before fully zeroing in on their bond. "Brotherhood" takes off right as the Clone Wars are beginning, with Skywalker and Kenobi at a crossroads in their evolving relationship, as Skywalker grows from Padawan to Jedi Knight, and Kenobi transitions from master to a fill-in member of the Jedi Council. Set between the events of the films "Episode II – Attack of the Clones" (2002) and "Episode III – Revenge of the Sith" (2005), "Brotherhood" is one of the best "Star Wars" novels to date, exploring the familylike bond between two of the central characters in the Skywalker Saga. While the post-traumatic fallout of Anakin Skywalker’s tragic turn to the ominous dark side will be at the forefront of Disney’s forthcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the heartbreak behind that inevitable fracturing of two prolific Jedi is further amplified by a wide array of emotional depth in Mike Chen’s "Star Wars: Brotherhood" (Del Rey, 352 pp., ★★★★ out of four, out now).
