We’ve been thinking about Obi-Wan Kenobi lately almost as much as Maul — and that former Sith Lord is obsessed. We’ve followed his journey from humble Padawan to his final confrontation with his pupil-turned-nemesis Darth Vader. And in the Disney+ limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, we’ve only deepened our appreciation for Kenobi’s emotional journey back from the loss of Anakin Skywalker to the serene Jedi Master in Star Wars: A New Hope. But have you ever wondered: Which Obi-Wan Kenobi are you? You must have patience and find out for yourself in our new quiz.

The Force is definitely with me. As a father of three boys, I’ve celebrated the story of Star Wars in so many ways, enjoying the thrills and adventure together, while also reflecting upon the many lessons of the saga — including many examples of what it means to be a dad. As Father’s Day approaches, here are some of my favorites. 

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker

Do you remember when you first learned that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker’s father? I do. It was at a screening of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, in a dark movie theater in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1980. Vader made the proclamation and I said out loud instantly, to no one in particular, “He’s lying.” I legitimately believed it was not possible. It wasn’t

There’s no hiding from the Emperor.

Qi’ra’s plot to ultimately bring down the Empire is in full bloom, but she hasn’t tricked everyone. In StarWars.com’s first look at Marvel’s Star Wars: Crimson Reign #5, the final installment of the epic miniseries, the Emperor lets it be understood that he knows more about Crimson Dawn’s machinations than once thought.

Meanwhile, in Star Wars: Darth Vader #24, the “Crimson Reign” crossover continues, as Vader and Sabé join forces. The former handmaiden to Queen Amidala has revealed that she knows Vader’s true identity, and has sought his aid in helping Anakin Skywalker’s childhood friend, Kitster. This leads the two on a collision course with a corrupt governor and Crimson Dawn…

Crimson Reign #5, written by Charles Soule and illustrated by Steven Cummings, arrives June

The Star Wars: Visions series on Disney+ brought the galaxy far, far away into the world of anime, with some of Japan’s most acclaimed studios telling their own unique tales. “The Duel,” from Kamikaze Douga, followed the mysterious Ronin, a Force-sensitive warrior who arrives in a sleepy village just in time to battle a Sith Lord. And the Ronin’s adventures aren’t over.

Lucasfilm Publishing and Marvel surprised fans last month at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, announcing that Star Wars: Visions would be coming to comics, as Takashi Okazaki (one of the talents behind “The Duel”) will be writing and drawing a new story featuring the Ronin. StarWars.com is excited to reveal the cover, concept sketches, and first details of Star Wars: Visions in our exclusive preview of solicits for Marvel’s September

Star Wars Mindful Matters, a new digital series on StarWarsKids.com and the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel, teaches lessons inspired by the ways of the Jedi. Hosted by longtime fan-favorite actor Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond) and produced in collaboration with Citrone 33, episodes cover more thoughtful approaches to mental wellness, including calmness through breathing, connecting with one’s surroundings, and facing fears. Adventure, excitement? A Jedi craves not these things; Star Wars Mindful Matters understands this, and that’s what makes these lessons so special. 

The series made its debut on May the 4th — a.k.a. Star Wars Day — of 2022, but its origins stretch back 10 years. Eckstein recalls meeting children during appearances at Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney

Doug Chiang couldn’t pass it up. In early 2022, Lucasfilm and Volkswagen agreed to collaborate on designing two vehicles inspired by Obi-Wan Kenobi, streaming now on Disney+. For Chiang — designer of the podracer, U-wing, and near countless other iconic Star Wars vehicles — it was a rare opportunity to combine two passions.

“I got into film design because I love car design,” he tells StarWars.com at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022. “A collaboration like this with VW is really wonderful, because I can see the other side.”

“We thought, ‘Let’s see how two cool things can come together,” adds Jozef Kabaň, VW’s head of design. “We thought Volkswagen and the [Obi-Wan Kenobi] story could work very well.”
