Obi-Wan Kenobi really wants to be a good Padawan. The best Padawan, even. But that’s feeling more and more impossible with his new master, Qui-Gon Jinn. All of Obi-Wan’s friends are off training to be real Jedi, getting mission experience, while he’s still on Coruscant, practicing his forms and sitting in silent contemplation. Ever since Qui-Gon’s former master, Dooku, left the Order, it feels like Qui-Gon has been too busy trying to connect with the Force or arguing with the Jedi Council to properly train his Padawan.

After reading this book I started to belive that the new star wars cannon isn’t for me because Disney doesn’t know how to wrote good star wars books which we had before Disney bought star wars.

This book is about young Obi Wan Kenobi sonly after he became the padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn. And somehow the young Obi Wan Kenobi we get in this book doesn’t feel like the same Obi Wan Kenobi we get in the movies. I know that in this book he is young and he isn’t the same person he is in the movies. But still there is something off about him, and he doesn’t have the same feeling and character if you will as the on-screen Obi Wan Kenobi.

And the same thing is also relevant for Qui-Gon Jinn. In this book Qui-Gon Jinn feels very much as a misfit in the Jedi order and not like the intelligent Jedi knight we get in the movies.

But when it comes to the plot itself, it was okay but nothing good nor bad it was firmly in the midle. I dont have any strong feelings about the plot in this book because I’m very neutral to this book. It wasn’t as bad as some of the new era star wars cannon (after Disney bought it) movies and books. 

The plot was hard to get though at times because at times it didn’t make any scene. The plot also doesn’t talk about the relationship between Obi Wan and Qui Gon, it rather talks about how insecure young Obi Wan was in his early days as a padawan, and that he felt like his padawan friends were much ahead of him. Which really bored me a bit, because I wanted to see more of the Obi Wan and Qui Gon relationship as they had in the early days as padawan and master and how it could have changed to what we see in the The Phantom Menace.

This book doesn’t really gives us anything that we dont know about Obi-Wan from the movies, but as a stand alone book its okay book. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5
