Continuity[]
The novel Brotherhood features Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi adopt the appearances[4] they have in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series,[5] cycling out their designs from[4] Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[6] Such implies that stories in which Kenobi and Skywalker have their Attack of the Clones designs are set before Brotherhood. However, Hyperspace Stories 5 must be set after Brotherhood, even though Skywalker and Kenobi possess their Attack of the Clones designs, minus the Padawan braid in Skywalker's case: Skywalker meets the Asajj Ventress face-to-face for the first time in Brotherhood[4] and recognizes her in Hyperspace Stories 5.[7] As such, Skywalker and Kenobi must have returned to their clothing and hairstyle choices at some point.
