" My diary's pretty empty this week. Let's see, Thursday morning, get shot, yes, that's about it, actually."-Captain Blackadder: Blackadder Goes Forth, Corporal Punishment.

A diary is something special to each person that has one. It's a journal of their thoughts and feelings. It's a safe place to write down your emotions and what happened to you with out letting the world know. A diaries purpose could be different for each person that uses it. Some find it more personal, others just use it to keep track of what's happening to them in their lives.

Many people own a diary. Some own two or more, because they run out of space in their first one. Did you ever think that Star Wars characters could own a diary? What about Padme, or Leia? Luke, or Chewie?

How about Obi-Wan Kenobi? During his years in boring exile, did he own a journal of his thoughts? Of course he did! A diary is almost like someone you can talk too. Obi-Wan must have needed someone to speak with (besides Qui-Gon). Are you wondering what kind of things he would write about; what interesting events could possibly happen to him in the middle of nowhere? Well, simply read below to find out. Some days are missing to keep it short. These are only key entries from each year.

Obi-Wan's Diary: Life on the planet furthest from.

Year One

1. Gave the boy to his aunt and uncle. They were a little shocked. I should have warned them.
2. Boy can sit up.
3. Bought a home. Nice and cozy.
4. Boy showed his first force ability. He caused a can to fall off a shelf. It hit his uncle in the head. Ouch.
5. Changed my name. I'm going with George.
6. I don't like the sound of George. Going with Ben. Ben Kenobi has a good ring to it.
7. Found a likeable Cantina. It's got good music.
8. Started meditating to become one with the force.

Year Two

1. The boy can walk and speak. He's very whiny.
2. Tuskens are starting to annoy me.
3. Jawas are starting to annoy me.
4. Discovered a Krayt dragon.

Year Three

1. Learned how to imitate the Krayt dragon. May come in handy.
2. I have visited the boy several times and met him. His uncle does not approve. I reminded him calmly who gave him the boy. An argument broke out.
3. Stopped visiting the boy.
4. Began polishing Anakin's lightsaber daily. When the boy is old enough, I'll give it to him. His father would have wanted that.

Year Four

1. The boy is asking questions about why I don't come anymore. His uncle called me crazy.
2. His uncle called me a hermit.
3. His uncle called me old. I beg to differ.
4.Took up knitting.
5. Stink at knitting. I'll stick to a good book.

Year Five

2. The Empire is growing. Their presence is drawing nearer the outer rim.
3. Qui-Gon tells me I'm getting closer and closer to realizing how to become one with the force.

Year Eight

1. The boy flew his first training speeder. Nearly ran into a Bantha, but missed. I believe the force saved him. There's no such thing as luck.
2. Went to the boy's Birthday party. I was going to give him his father's lightsaber, but his uncle wouldn't allow it.
3. Scared some Tuskens with the Krayt dragon imitation. Knew it would come in handy.

2. Boy got a speeder for his birthday. Lucky.
3. Got my first grey hair. Not fun. Not fun at all.

Year Eleven

2. Boy's uncle forbid me to come to his house. Like that will stop me.
3. Ran out of something to keep a journal in. I'll have to wait for a trader to come.
