The Star Wars prequel trilogy had a lot of critics when it was launched over two decades ago but through the years, fans have undoubtedly warmed up to it and while it's still flawed for the most part, some people believe that it's not sequel trilogy levels of bad. 2022 is set to be a huge year for the prequel trilogy thanks to the respective returns of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Turns out, that's not the only prequel-related project we should be on the lookout for.
The legendary science-fiction franchise will be releasing a new novel titled Star Wars: Brotherhood next year coinciding with the annual Star Wars celebration. The said story, written by Mike Chen will follow the aftermath of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones where Obi-Wan and Anakin were promoted to Jedi Council and Jedi Knight, respectively.
Brotherhood finally addresses the events that transpired in the city of Cato Neimoidia, something that was briefly mentioned in Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan and Anakin were recounting the things they owe one another.
ComicBook reports: "The story begins shortly after Attack of the Clones. There's an explosion on Cato Neimoidia, and the Trade Federation blames it on the Republic. The Jedi Council sends Obi-Wan to investigate. He soon senses the presence of dark side Force-wielder Asajj Ventress. Despite being ordered to stay away, Anakin Skywalker heads to Cato Neimodia and Obi-Wan's aid."

We all know for a fact that the prequels weren't faultless by any means but that's not to say that the comeback of Obi-Wan and Anakin/Darth Vader isn't welcome. If anything, it's something fans of the Star Wars universe have been dreaming about for years and thanks to Lucasfilm's expansion via Disney+, it's now been turned into a reality.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's release date has yet to be announced.
