| Legacy of the Jedi / Jude Watson : 4 of 5 | |

 Jude Watson is just a fantastic Star Wars author - no doubt about it. She knows these characters better than the screenwriters, that's for sure! This amazing book spans four generations of Jedi Masters and their Padawans. First, we meet young Dooku and witness the seeds of his fall to the Dark Side. As expected, the book does a great job of generating sympathy for characters that will be evil in the future, since redemption is such an important part of the Star Wars mythos. Next, we meet young Qui Gon with Dooku as his master, which is such a different type of relationship than I've read about in the Jedi Apprentice series. Third, we read about young Obi-Wan and Qui Gon, which is exactly as expected, and fourth, Anakin and Obi Wan, which I've been enjoying in the Jedi Quest series. There's really no need to discuss the plot - it's enough just to experience all of these characters and discover what makes them tick. Any Star Wars fan will enjoy this book!
