Legacy of the Jedi

Summary: Excellent Masterpiece
Review: Got to admit (I'm 30 too) and enjoyed this book! I've been reading them with my son (who is 8) and he is totally engrossed in the stories.

This one has been one of my favorites due to the elaborating of Qui-Gon as Padawan Learner to Dooku. My son loves Obi-Wan and I'm a Qui-Gon fan, so this book was great. And the fact that the one character that started out back when Dooku was a teen was great. Showing what friendship is about and that betrayal is and can be on different levels.

Jude Watson did an excellent job in dividing the parts up. I wish that she'd write some of the adult SW books. I think she has the skill and definitely the mind for it!

I have (as well as my son) enjoyed the Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest books. I believe that any true SW fan will definitely enjoy this one as well as the other books.

Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: I have enjoyed reading the young adult Star Wars books. I've read many Young Jedi Knight books and loved them. I also enjoyed reading this book. My favorite section was the first one with Dooku as a Padawan. Finally, this book was just the right length for me.

Summary: One of the best Star Wars books...ever.
Review: I normally don't read the SW books intended for younger readers but sometimes I make an exception. In this case I was not disapointed. Though not nearly as dense as I'm used to with full-novels, LOTJ is a quick, fun read. The background of Dooku was a great treat that was handled expertly. Jude Watson did a great job of making the story accessible to younger readers without dumbing it down too much for older readers (I'm 30). Actually, it reads like a good comic book in terms of diologue and story flow. My only complaint is that it could have been longer. All in all, LOTJ was a read that I would recommend to all SW readers, of all ages.

Summary: The Fanatic Insight
Review: This book is an excellent insight into the life of a Jedi student and Knight. If you're one of the fans who likes to picture themselves with a lightsaber, this book will help you make it clearer.
The stories of how each Padawaan is phychologicly affected by their masters, such as Qui-gon's feelings on betrayel. Also gives a good description of the rebirth of Qui-Gon and Obi Wan's reconnection (See other Jude Watson novels).
Also gives good details of the Clone Wars and Anakin's renewed attitude since Episode II.

Summary: Legacy of the Jedi- The best StarWars book ever made.
Review: When reading the SW books that Jude Watson writes I can't help but wonder why she isn't writing adult novels too. Her "children's" novel are often smarter, wittier, funnier, and alot better read then most of the other author's books in the EU. This is definitely the case with Legacy of The Jedi.

Legacy is separated in to four different section but weave into each other to create something magical. In the first part we learn of Dooku as a padawan and his friend Lorian. Next we get a look into Qui-Gon Jinn's apprenticeship with Dooku were they encounter Lorian once more. The third story centers around Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan and another mishap with Lorian. Finally we get a story about Obi-Wan and Anakin during the beginning of the Clone War that also involves Lorian, now an old man. While each story is separated they bounce off each other and blend into one big story.

In this book we get a glimpse at Dooku's beginning and a peak at his fall. The reader also get a look at the different relationship between Master and Padawan. From the distance with Dooku and Jinn, to the close bonds of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, to finally the widening gaps of Obi-Wan and Anakin. It's very interesting to see the different approaches the Master each take and how different each Padawan is from the other.I especially like the part centering around Qui-Gon when he was a Padawan. I wouldn't mind seeing a series revolving around his and Dooku's relationship in the future or perhaps a sequel type book to this where we once again get all four generations.

This book is a bit steep in price but reading wise it will entertain and make you wish it was a great deal longer.
