‘But it turns out, you’re right on time.'” (319) ‘I don’t suppose you believe I meant to do this?’ He looked at the holo for a long moment, taking gulping breaths, then ventured a weak smile. “Obi-Wan’s face was pale, his stare somewhat dazed. With Qui-Gon watching via hologram, Kenobi’s ship burst onto the bridge and eventually came to a stop. Soon enough, he burst onto the bridge, where the Czerka supervisor was at. Not able to stop it, Kenobi sat helplessly – and screamed – as his ship flew through the narrow corridors of the Czerka ship, narrowly avoiding the walls. But in doing so, he accidentally triggered the autopilot systems. He climbed into a smaller ship to get better readouts, and then when enemies began coming in, he decided to use the ship’s weapons rather than try to use his (broken) lightsaber. Obi-Wan stayed with the ship while Pax went to find Rahara, but soon alarms began going off. Qui-Gon, meanwhile, worked to negotiate a peaceful resolution. Obi-Wan and a scavenger named Pax infiltrate the enemy ship (belonging to the Czerka Corporation, which holds many slaves on board) to rescue their friend Rahara, herself enslaved by Czerka. Well, at the story’s climax, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are working to prevent the loss of many lives. The young Jedi apprentice loved to fly, was fascinated by ships, and was quite good at flying as well. At one point, we read, “As Qui-Gon well knew, Obi-Wan loved flying” (25). We won’t go into full spoilers, but we’ll be discussing a pivotal moment at the book’s climax.Įarly in the book, we are told that Obi-Wan actually loves to fly. Spoilers are obviously ahead for “Master and Apprentice”, so don’t read any further if you don’t want to know what happens. In Claudia Gray’s excellent novel “Master and Apprentice”, we are told exactly what happened – and it occurred years before The Phantom Menace. So why did he hate it so much? We now have a canon answer to that question you may not have even known you wondered. He expresses this a couple of times in Attack of the Clones, and in Revenge of the Sith insists that flying is for droids.īut interestingly, Obi-Wan is actually a very skilled pilot. In the prequels, it is made pretty clear that Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t like flying.
