Padawan by Kiersten White is highlighted in TLF's Roundtable series! Plot synopsis, character breakdowns, overarching questions, and all the Easter egg finds your Star Wars heart's desire. Spoilers Ahead!
Kiersten White’s Padawan sheds light on a relatively unexplored time in the life of Obi-Wan Kenobi as he travels to an uncharted world in search of purpose and adventure. Along the way, he meets new friends that not only challenge his conception of the Jedi structure, but also that of his very relationship with the Force. White presents Obi-Wan as a somewhat brash teen who is unexpectedly thrust into the role of leadership in an environment he has never known and peers whose trust he is desperate to earn. While the future general slips and falls along the way, he emerges from this trial well on his way to being one of the greatest Jedi in the history of the order.
