While Marvel is busy exploring the period right after Return of the Jedi and leading into The Force Awakens, they’re not neglecting other areas of the Star Wars universe. And as announced at the Lucasfilm Publishing: Star Wars: Stories From a Galaxy Far, Far Away Panel at New York Comic Con, we’re going back in time this upcoming March for Star Wars: Jedi Knights.
Written by Marc Guggenheim, with art by Madibek Musabekov, the series takes place before The Phantom Menace and focuses on characters like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, and many more.
“Marc and Madibek deliver a blockbuster first issue with a cliffhanger that kicks off one action-packed issue after another featuring your favorite Jedi,” Editor Mark Paniccia teased via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “You’ve literally never seen so much lightsaber action in a comic book!”
Per PR from Marvel, “In addition to featuring iconic and fan-favorite Jedi, the series will introduce all new Jedi characters that served the Republic during this pivotal era. Each issue will spotlight a different Jedi duo on a different mission throughout the galaxy, but an overarching threat binds them together. Who is the mysterious new villain targeting Qui-Gon Jinn for death and how will it force the Jedi Order to evolve for a new age?”

Kenobi did not use Soresu/Form 3 as a padawan learner. Jinn most likely trained him in forms 1 and 4. Shii cho and Ataru. Disney has repeatably made consistency errors, opposed fan favorites, and altered already well received designs/concepts into garbage. They do what they want to do.
Enough is enough. A true Star Wars fan knows to take Disney with a grain of salt, and not raise expectations. Otherwise you will get disappointed.
Bye.
