Tatooine, Obi-Wan Kenobi simultaneously avoids the sinister clutches of the Empire and watches over the young Luke Skywalker. Reduced to concealing his Jedi identity (keeping his use of the Force to an absolute minimum, and without using his lightsaber entirely) and carrying a blaster as a means of self-defence, Kenobi wanders the planet’s vast deserts and comes across a small community of farmers and peasants. Stopping to rest, the legendary Jedi soon discovers the town is under siege from a vile mercenary group of thieves, bandits, and rogues running out of the
Mos Eisley spaceport.
Wishing to remain in hiding but unable to ignore his inherent desire to help those in need, Obi-Wan strives to aid the villagers without using either his lightsaber or the Force. Despite his efforts, however, he is unable to repel the bandits using only his wits and blaster. Eventually realising that helping those in need comes before his own safety, Obi-Wan confronts the bandits in the centre of town – drawing his lightsaber for the first time since going into hiding, and – for the first time – truly striking fear into the hearts of the bandits.
The drawing of Kenobi’s lightsaber in the film’s climax would be the first time he uses it in the film, emerging from a cloud of smoke and dust to remind the galaxy what the Jedi once stood for. Starring Ewan McGregor.
→ Interesting notes: Food & water storage areas, refresher location, apparently Obi-Wan takes bladed weapons off Jawas, found artefacts from Tatooine pre-history, if you’re gonna be stranded on a place for ~20 years, you might as a well be a history nerd about it, I guess, and my favorite:
Amazing. Even in exile, without even trying, Obi-Wan is still terrifying the locals into giving him gifts to appease him. And probably tried to tell them, no, that’s not necessary, which only just made them more terrified, WE HAVE ANGERED THE WIZARD, DOUBLE THE RITUAL GIFTS!!!! until Obi-Wan just sighs and lets them do what they want.
Obi Wan Kenobi – (senior padawan) Portrait/Color Ref My mother walked by and remarked “What a cute little hedgehog. Who is he?” (I am pretty sure I sprained something laughing) I think he came out really well, considering this is my first attempt at painting him. [ And especially since Qui Gon fought me the whole way -.- fooey.] I hope you enjoy ^_^

Obi Wan Kenobi & Qui Gon Jinn – Refs and Motion Study This was so much fun! I am filled with appreciation for just how hard the continuity and stunt team worked on I-III , ( …and some awe for just how huge Qui Gon is. WOW.) Forgive any imperfections. All I did was pause the movie, and then start sketching. Bottom left sketch referenced from a piece of official art. It was hard to get a decent still of their outer robes.

Duel – 2 Panel So I might have begun painting this …. about ten months ago. Just now finished it. There is a reason I don’t do comic art. Jeebus! Panels take me forever to complete x.x Anakin and Obi-Wan, the showdown. You know how the rest of the story goes.
I hope you enjoy~
