Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 31: Qui-Gon’s Force Vision & Obi-Wan’s Faith In Anakin (Age Of Republic)

This week features the next two issues in the Age Of Republic series; Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi!

The first comic, about Qui-Gon, shows him struggling to find balance, so he goes on a journey for an answer only the Force can provide, while Obi-Wan finds it difficult to have faith in his new role as master to his new padawan, Anakin as they embark on a new mission together.

Both Age Of Republic comics were written by Jody Houser with Cory Smith as penciller, Walden Wong as inker, Java Tartaglia as colourist and Wilton Santos was also a penciller on the Obi-Wan comic.

AoR Qui-Gon Jinn 1: “Balance” was released December 2018, while AoR Obi-Wan Kenobi 1: “Mission” was released in January 2019. The AoR Heroes trade paperback was released in May 2019 while the AoR hardcover (with heroes & villains) was released February 2020.

Episode 28, where Mike delves into the Master & Apprentice book, goes along well with this episode as it provides more insight into Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan’s relationship, so be sure to check that out too!
