Summary: Anakin and Obi-wan series??!!
Review: I love this book it's so good. I can't wait to see SW2. Also I wonder if Jude Waston will come up with the young Obi-wan and Anni series. Hope so. That will be so cool if she does. Well back to the book. The book was exciting, it held you in suspence. The sith and everything. But it's so sad no more Obi-wna and Qui-gon books, I love them. Sob. Well sorry it's just a depressing thought.

Summary: Good so far
Review: I'm still reading this book but so far it is very interesting. Nothing seems to be going right for Obi Wan and Qui Gon at the beggining of the book. But their mission gets more complicated than it was at first.

Summary: The final book in the Jedi Apprentice series is here.
Review: Obi-Wan and his Master, Qui-Gon, tackle a mysterious mission that revolves around the followers of the Sith -- and a search for the Holocron, a mystical object that enables its user to have great powers. The Holocron has been hidden under a planet's dangerous ocean for many years, and all who have gone after it failed. When Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are sent to retrieve it so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands, the mission is still left unsolved. Ten years later, when Qui-Gon has been killed and Obi-Wan has Anakin for his apprentice, once again the threat of the Dark Side arises. The followers of the Sith are apparently still waiting for the chance when they will have their hands on the Holocron. Obi-Wan and Anakin have to stop the Dark Side from winning. The future of all darkness in the galaxy rests in their mission now. Jedi Apprentice: Special Edition #2: The Followers is Jude Watson's final chapter in the Jedi Apprentice series, but thankfully the story continues into the new Jedi Quest books. It's a stunning and thrilling conclusion, and most memorable of all is the haunting last paragraph on the final page of this, the end of the Jedi Apprentice series.

Summary: End Of A Series
Review: Unless something changes this second special edition containing two stories will bring to a close the Jedi Apprentice Series. Jude Watson contributed a total of twenty books to this story arc, and she will be starting another series of books shortly. While she may not be the most prolific contributor on a page-by-page count, she has certainly written as many or more books that any other Star Wars Author. She has also written the series in an appropriate manner for the younger audience for which it has been intended. A very wide age bracket has clearly read this body of work, but the author always managed the content for the intended readers, and often illustrated the basic Jedi Precepts better than many other writers."The Followers", offers two distinct tales with a common character. The first has Obi-Wan as an apprentice, and the second has him as a master to the volatile 13 year old apprentice Anakin. The stories are separated by 10 years, which is a time span that coincides with an unusual occurrence on the planet of Kodai. This event allows the only brief opportunity for the recovery of a Holocron. This one is unique in that it was created by the Sith, and it is in the shape of a pyramid as opposed to the traditional cube. The first tales goes a good way toward explaining how the Sith reorganize themselves after their supposed extinction. It also dramatically demonstrates how dangerous the dark side is to both force sensitive individuals, and those who are not. The second tale again shows that even at 13 years of age Anakin is already more than a handful for Obi-Wan. His behavior is at times a bit of a paradox for while he is quick to anger it can be for an offence he perceives against his master as opposed to himself. He is also shown as a Jedi that can be explosively threatening to a life form only to show the greatest compassion to the same life form later in the tale. This is probably not a true 5 star book, but the extra star is for the entire series Jude Watson produced.

Summary: OUT WITH A BANG
Review: W-O-W!! This book rocks!! Jude...being Jude...has created yet another incredibly written story.
Two generations of master and apprentice struggle for one of the most evil creations in the galaxy.
(And seeing obi-wan dependent on a madman for help is something else)
I never put it down. (Wait...untrue.I put it down once, to chase my cat away from trouble) Reading was acompanied by shreiks of pleasure as a new angle revealed itself (I kidd you not).
The entire jedi apprentice series has a vast legion of followers, of all different ages. But we all share one common trait. WE LOVE THIS SERIES!!!
Jude has walked us through the trials of Obi-Wan's life with a skill most of us can only dream of.
We have watched him grow from an impatient boy ruled by his emotions,to a steady young master destined for a life of greatness.
We have watched his relationship with Qui-Gon transformed from something small and fragile,into something vast and unbreakable. Even death couldn't truely seperate that perfect pair.
But,eventually,everything must someday come to an end...to make room for another new begining.
The Followers is the final book in this great series.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
But all is not lost. Obviously to prevent mass riotts in the streets =) , another series is on its way. One that can rival and perhaps even surpass Jedi Apprentice. Jedi Quest.
And so, we bid a very fond farwell to our beloved series, and a warm welcome to its successor.
Jude, thank you. Thank you for the years of pleasure you have given us. And for the years yet to come.
*APPLAUSE*

Summary: A farewell to the old, and welcome to the new!
Review: While not the best in the series, this one was definitely "worthy". A different sort of plot than the usual, which was refreshing, and while the character developments were less than usual, I didn't really feel that this detracted from the story at all. This book begins with an eighteen (or thereabouts) year old Obi-Wan still apprenticed to Qui-Gon several years before Episode 1. The Jedi Council has recieved disturbing rumers of a possible Sith Holocron, floating around somewhere, and they immediately dispatch Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to find it at all costs. To avoid spoiling the story, I'll just say that almost nothing goes as planned, and the story abrubtly skips forward ten years; when a much older Obi-Wan now trains his own apprentice, thirteen year old Anakin Skywalker. To be honest, this was the first book I've read so far where I found myself liking and relating to Anakin's character at all. Most of the other books have portrayed him either as a whiny baby, or just your basic budding darksider. In this book, however, I could finally see him as a real person, much, much cooler as a teenager than a little kid. Anyway, if you've been following the series than this one is a must. Here's to the new Jedi Quest series being as good as Jedi Apprentice was!
