| The Last of the Jedi Vol 4 / Jude Watson : 4 of 5 | |

 My favorite volumes of any Scholastic Star Wars series are always the ones with strong ties back to the movies, featuring characters, planets, or mentioning events that are already familiar. With that consideration, this is the best book of the Last of the Jedi series yet! After Ferus escapes from prison, the plot returns to Inquisitor Malorum and his ongoing investigation of Padme's death, which actually brings him to Naboo and the capital city of Theed. All of the scenes here are fantastic, giving some insight into Naboo culture, and we even get to meet Padme's grandmother (although her moments with Malorum come to a chilling end). When Ferus, Solace, and the rest of our heroes arrive on Naboo, the Gungans become involved (it's always fun to have Boss Nass in the mix!) and suddenly a huge battle is planned, which unfortunately goes by too quickly at the end of the book (I was sure they were going to save it for the next volume, but the author squeezed it in). However, part of the action is a cool fight that takes place in the same location where Qui-Gon fought Darth Maul, and it's interesting to read Ferus' thoughts and emotions during this intense scene. I love how this storyline follows Episode 3 so nicely, while using so many cool elements from Episode 1 - I hope they can keep up the good work in the next book!
