| The Last of the Jedi Vol 3 / Jude Watson : 3 of 5 | |

 I haven't given up on this great Scholastic series - it's just taking me forever to start reading the next volume after finishing the previous one! At first I was a little disappointed that this story has almost no Obi-Wan in it, but the plot turned out to be so interesting that I didn't mind the focus on Ferus and Trever. This volume takes place entirely on Coruscant, as the former Padawan and his streetwise friend sneak into the old Jedi temple in hope of rescuing other Jedi. These scenes are fascinating, since they describe not only images from the movies, but also rooms and events from other Jude Watson books. There are several flashback sequences since Ferus grew up in the temple, now defiled and taken over by the Empire, and certain moments, such as finding a room full of discarded lightsabers, are just incredible. There's also a brief encounter with Darth Vader, which has even more impact since Ferus knew Anakin when they were both Padawans, but of course, Ferus doesn't know he's hiding from his old friend. The story moves to the deepest levels of the huge cityscape of Coruscant, providing some cool background information about how levels of the city were built, and Dexter Jettster (another character from the movies) makes an appearance. Eventually they do find another living Jedi, and they all return to the Jedi temple for another skirmish with the Empire, but then the book ends with a huge cliffhanger as Ferus is captured! Hopefully I won't wait too long before moving on to the next volume this time!
