We’ve known for a little while know that an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie was in the works, likely revolving around the time between the first two trilogies. This weekend though, news was revealed a story about Old Ben would appear in Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View. The most interesting part? It takes place after his death!
Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View will be an upcoming novel to feature 40 short stories from the Star Wars universe in celebration of its 40 year anniversary. Writer Cavan Scot posted on his Twitter account that his story, “Time of Death,” will follow Obi Wan’s story after his death.

Fans have questioned death in the Star Wars Universe, majority when it comes to force users, ever since the original trilogy unveiled Force Ghosts. Based on the quote above, we can certainly assume that the story will answer a lot of those questions with a first-hand account from the Jedi Master.
Not much is known about the bizarre tale, but it will be just one of many in Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View. The omnibus of short stories will range from ones told in the point of views of Mon Mothma to Boba Fett to a certain droid-hating cantina barkeep. Needless to say, there will be a taste of many different genres laced throughout the book.
