			Many people were concerned about the mechanics of persona replacement between Episode I characters and their Classic Trilogy versions. [[Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padawan Learner]] provides a simple lesson for how the problem can be avoided altogether. The youthful [[Tatooine]] Expansion version of Obi-wan has a higher power than his Classic Trilogy versions. As a result, he cannot be replaced by those versions via persona replacement.

			Similarly, his ability is lower than those versions, meaning that the older [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Kenobi]] cannot be replaced with the younger one. This is a simple mechanic with no new persona rules to learn, just the use of an already-established rule.

			As the expansion title suggests, young Obi-wan is strongly linked to [[Tatooine]] in his usefulness. First, he receives a generous deploy bonus to [[Tatooine]] that allows him to deploy for a pittance of 4 Force. Not bad for a character with 6 power and 5 ability, plus a healthy amount of immunity to attrition. But what makes our young Padawan really interesting is his 'teleporting' gametext. When the Dark Side player initiates a battle at a related [[Tatooine]] site, Obi-wan can relocate to the battle for 2 Force, giving the Light Side an added power boost in the battle, not to mention the chance to hit a character if Obi-wan is carrying his lightsaber. The Dark Side will have to carefully consider when and where to battle on [[Tatooine]] in order to effectively deal with the teleporting Jedi hit-man.

			And getting young Obi-wan into play is helped by the gametext of [[Padme Naberrie]], who lets [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Kenobi]] deploy from the Reserve Deck. Obi-wan [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Kenobi]], Padawan Learner continues the tradition of great personae of [[Ben Kenobi]]. The only trick is deciding which one to use.
