Star Wars #20 – Vol. 2 – 2016 stands apart from the ongoing narrative arcs of Marvel’s modern Star Wars series by offering a haunting and introspective tale centred on Ben Kenobi. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated with atmospheric detail by Mike Mayhew, this issue is another entry in the beloved “Journals of Old Ben Kenobi” stories—quiet, powerful chapters that explore Obi-Wan’s hidden life on Tatooine.

Set during his exile, the issue focuses on Ben Kenobi’s silent vigil over Luke Skywalker, watching from the shadows as the boy grows up under the guardianship of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. Though bound by his promise to remain hidden, Obi-Wan’s instincts as a protector and Jedi never fade. When local threats endanger Luke, Ben must wrestle with his vow of secrecy and the responsibilities of his former life.

Jason Aaron delivers a script steeped in reflection and restraint, showing the quiet burden of a Jedi haunted by the fall of the Republic. The internal conflict and solitude are brilliantly rendered through Mike Mayhew’s highly realistic, almost painterly artwork, which captures the scorched stillness of Tatooine’s deserts and the tired wisdom in Kenobi’s eyes.

This issue is both visually stunning and narratively moving, offering an essential glimpse into a period that shaped one of the saga’s most iconic characters. Fans of Star Wars lore will find this chapter deeply rewarding—adding emotional depth to Obi-Wan’s journey and his enduring connection to Luke.
