| The Clone Wars ended after three years of vicious fighting across the galaxy, but for General Kenobi and his friends, the danger was far from over. Obi-Wan took part in the final battle of the Clone Wars, which saw great losses for the Republic, but also the end of the Confederacy of Independant Systems. The survivors returned to Coruscant, believing the fighting was over. However, Obi-Wan was about to face more troubles. Anakin Skywalker had been slowly falling to the dark side for many years, though Obi-Wan didn't believe he would actually sucumb to the darkness. He believed he had trained Anakin as well as Master Yoda could have. His mistake cost him dearly. Anakin and Obi-Wan got into a heated argument, which led to a deadly lightsaber duel. Obi-Wan was reluctant to fight his former apprentice, but found he had no other choice. Anakin was badly wounded in the battle, and Obi-Wan left him for dead, carrying Skywalker's lightsaber with him. Anakin did not die, however, but became Darth Vader, and joined Emperor Palpatine, who had created a terrifying new Empire shortly after the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan knew he and his friends were not safe. They fled, and Obi-Wan adopted the name Ben to hide his identity. Anakin's wife, Padm�, had given birth to twins; they would not be safe either, Ben knew. The Jedi was now a fugitive, hiding out on a planet whose leader helpfully accepted him. Soon after, he had the twins seperated: Anakin's daughter was adopted by Bail Organa on Alderaan, while Ben took the son of Skywalker to Tatooine, and Anakin's step-brother. Owen Lars eventually agreed to care for the boy, but never wanted to see Ben again. The former Jedi and war hero set off into the twin sunset as a fugitive and a hermit, tasked with watching over the last hope for the galaxy which now lay in the arms of Owen Lars. |
