I sold all mine a few years ago, along with my Jedi Quest books, BUT I bought another set of JA books because they are so good!  I need to find all the JQ again someday. Have you ever read "Clone Wars: Wild Space?" A lot of Obi-Wan action in that book! No I haven't. Sounds good though; I'll have to look for it! ;D |

I think Obi-Wan gets injured quite badly - more than once - in Wild Spaces, but I could be confusing it with another book.
I put my JA, JQ and Last of the Jedi books next to my Harry Potter books; I really like Jude Watson's perspective on Jedi.

Yea, he does. Which makes it all that more interesting. Poor Obi! Also explains his friendship with Bail Organa in more detail

Read Life and Legend... it's a recap of a bunch of Obi-Wan stories from various novels and the films put together chronologically. Nothing new or deeply insightful, but entertaining, yes. Also, yesterday I went to free comic book day at my local mom&pop book store but much to my disappointment, they no longer participate. It's a cool place - they sell new comics and used books. I can get lost in there for hours! So even though I didn't get a free comic, I was happy to find copies of my missing JA books... 2 and 3! Now my series is complete  |

Thought you'd like it. It's one you never hear about, but one of my faves.

Now I'm reading The Last of the Jedi series... I only read the first 3 books of this when it came out although I did buy them all. So this is like a new Jedi adventure for me lol

Is that the series focusing on Ferrus? Decent series, but without much Obi, it just seemed to lack. Loved the Jedi Appentice and Jedi Quest series'
The Young Boba Fett books are worse, though.

Yeah that's the one.... I think that's why I stopped reading it in the first place... not enough Obi Wan! It's good so far though, I'm up to #5.
That Boba Fett series I wasn't interested in, although I did buy book #3 Maze of Deception because it has Aurra Sing in it. Haven't read it yet lol. She's hunting Boba!

I haven't seen those. I'll have to look for them. Some of these "kids" books are better than some of the "regular" Star Wars books out there

Yeah and the print is easier on the eyes. I have distance glasses but I hate to think I might need reading glasses too.  I can read the small print just fine but my eyes start bugging out on me after a while and it takes more than a few minutes to adjust back to seeing everything else clearly. Weird. |

I really like Jude Watson's perspective on Jedi.
Me too! Legacy of the Jedi was the first SW book I read, and I tend to measure other books against the JA/JQ standard. (Last of the Jedi was okay too, just not enough Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, or Anakin) One thing I really like about them is that the fate of the galaxy isn't at stake in every single book, like it is in a lot of the others. Sure, there are some climactic events in SW, but I would rather read 50 books about Jedi on missions rather than tales of massive war, plague, and endless villains trying to take over the galaxy every two weeks. There is so much time on the timeline, and this type of events could be spaced out more. Another great thing about Watson's books is that they are about my favorite characters! Hardly anyone else has written about Qui-Gon. I wish there were stories about him when he was a Padawan. |

I need to find all the JQ again someday.
