The series isn't about Jedi getting killed, since that's mostly happened already.
The books are more about Jedi surviving. Obi-Wan is in the first two, but goes back to Tatooine and the story continues with Ferus Olin, a character from the Jedi Quest books. However, it looks like Vade will be coming into it, judging from the end of the last one.

I read #5 (The Tangled Web) the other day...I liked it better then #4 (I weas really disappointed in 4!), but I still liked 1-3 the best in the series so far. I like how Watson is bringing back many of her characters from the Jedi Apprentice & Quest series and giving them large rolls (Astri, Bog, Suaro...shoot even Ferus). She has intergrated the characters thru all three of her series really well...considering they are spanning over 40 years! LOTJ is an decent series, but it's no where near the JA series....I don't think anything can top the JA series! I'm still disappointed in the cover art for the entire LOTJ series. JA had marvelous cover art, JQ not bad, and LOTJ is so bad...I could draw it...and I can't draw !!!

Just saw the cover for #6... Return of the Dark Side. It looks like better cover art...they must have heard my grumblings about the artwork It almost looks like the cover art for the adult books. Ferus looks kinda like Pierce Brosnon (James Bond) or Jacen Solo....

The cover art looks good. Hmmmm, I always thought Ferus had blonde hair? Or maybe I'm confusing him with Siri? And I see Darth Vader on that cover, too. I knew that Ferus had to run into Vader at some point. He already has, but Vader let him go -- I think he was just so surprised to see Ferus with a lightsaber that he didn't have time to react. Of course, Ferus didn't know who was behind the mask. i wonder if Watson is going to write from Vader's POV?
I've noticed that the last few Scholastic books have actually been in the store a few weeks before the release date listed on amazon.com. I don't mind that at all
I have #5, but I've only just started reading it. I've been busy making new outfits for DragonCon.
