• He looks back on a time when he and Anakin Skywalker were pulled off the front lines of the Clone Wars to confront a lost soul from Kenobi’s wartime past.
• Can the two Jedi bring a man back from the heart of darkness to which he has fallen?

I am pumped about this one. We get scarred up Anakin which leads me to believe this is closer to Revenge of the Sith than it is The Clone Wars movie time periods. So who could they be after? Who is this man that they need to pull back from “the heart of darkness?” I initially thought it could be Gehren Rand from Obi Wan #1 but that’s a female character.
I feel like the language here means it has to be a force user. Someone who whom was once light but is now in the dark. So really it needs to be a Jedi. One who does not have an affinity for clones as we see a bunch of helmets on spikes on the cover. So my guess is going to be Quinlon Vos even though I’m not 100% sold on that.
