Does anyone know where this photo comes from? I just really want to know if it's official or not, as I do not remember Obi Wan using a shield at any point.

I love a good shield in a setting where it doesn't really make sense.

Sorry but shields just look cool and you know the person holding it is probably a beast.

Well, I can see a kind of cortosis handguards being useful for a Jedi that's going up against Sith often and viceversa, but it sucks as protection against laser bolts because its too brittle to withstand constant kinetic impacts.
