Disney Reveals Cover for Padawan, New Novel Focused on Young Obi-Wan Kenobi Training With Qui-Gon Jinn

Disney Lucasfilm Press has revealed the official cover for the upcoming novel Padawan, from author Kiersten White. The new book will focus on the training of young padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi under the guidance of Master Qui-Gon Jinn, in a story seemingly set before the events of Claudia Gray's Master & Apprentice. Check out the official cover here, as revealed by Amazon:







The official synopsis of the book reads:

Its July 26th, 2022 release date is no coincidence, being two months after the debut of the highly-anticipated Disney Plus series Obi-Wan Kenobi (out on May 25th), therefore, four weeks after the finale. While the show will not cover this period of Kenobi's life, it will be a nice companion for those who leave the live-action series wanting more Kenobi.



This will be Kiersten White's first Star Wars novel, and will be part of Lucasfilm's very ambitious book schedule for this year. In addition to the constant stream of High Republic books and comics coming our way, they are also releasing two more books this summer, Shadow of the Sith (June 28), from Adam Christopher, which will fill some gaps from The Rise of Skywalker as it will follow Luke and Lando Calrissian going after a mysterious Sith presence, and Brotherhood (May 10), from Mike Chen, which will also focus on Kenobi and his relationship with Anakin during the Clone Wars.



Padawan comes out on July 26th and is already available to pre-order here.
