Interpretation Toward Books Path To Truth (Star Wars: Jedi Quest #0)
Pre-Read Thoughts: As Star Wars continues to barrel forward with their movies and "new canon", I'm finding myself looking back more and more to the Prequel Era, and thinking about the great chracters that were created that were used poorly (Grievious, Darth Tyranus, Darth Maul, etc.), and "what could have been".So, my trekking to read obscure Prequel-Era fiction has led me here; the "Jedi Quest" YA series that fills in some of what happened to Anakin between Episode 1 & Episdoe 2.
While I'm not expecting Shakepseare, I'm hoping these will at least be fun, decent reads, with mybe a nugget of truth/wisdom about what shaped Anakin into Darth Vader.

Post-Read:
Well, I mostly enjoyed this. It was a quick, fast-paced YA novel. I would have liked something a little deeper, perhaps, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.
While I felt that the voice of Anakin was slightly "off" (at least for me), it did a pretty good job of showing the core of anger that Anakin has that they dind't really do a good job of identifying in Episode I, and largely glossed over in Episode II and III.
Also, seeing Anakin on Ilum hunting for lightsaber crysals was kinda neat, since (NERD ALERT!) in our new Star Wars "Force and Destiny" RPG campaign our party is currently on their way to Ilum to find crystals to craft our own lightsabers.
I'm certainly intrigued by this enough to continue the series. A qualified 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4 because of my relatively newfound love for the Prequel-Era novels and comics.)

Great start of the jedi quest series!Path to Truth starts a new series by Watson, this time focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin, during the time between Episode I and Episode II. The story begins with Anakin retrieving a crystal for his lightsaber, and continues to both of them accompanying a ship in the hopes of preventing it from being raided. It turns out that Krayn, a slaver who has a history with Anakin, is the raider in question, and of course, the ship doesn't make it to its destination without running into him.Watson ties this
Story: 8/10Synopsis: Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Siri take down a slave run illegal spice trade, but darkness lurks nearby
Really good book, very interesting. I think I would have liked it a little bi more if it was longer, but it was still good.
Here we go again. I'm not surprised Obi-Wan looked so ancient in ANH, despite being merely in his fifties. He's essentially one tangled knot of deepening anxiety throughout Anakin's entire apprenticeship, and who can blame him?This adventure has the Jedi Council plunging twelve-year-old Anakin into a slavery debacle as, like, his second or third mission. I, historically, am a pro-Jedi partisan, but the Council really come off as truly unhelpful and bordering on deliberately malicious. Obi-Wan is
This book is a YA book and is part of the old canon timeline. This takes place between Episode I and Episode II. In this one, we deal with space pirates that are dealing in the slave trade. This ties in with Anakin as we all know that he was a slave in the first movie.I liked this first book of this series. I am not expecting great literature in these books. I am expecting to be entertained and these books to tie in with the overall arc and this book accomplishes that. When dealing with Anakin
