3.0

An interesting relic of Star Wars history. This book was written between Episodes 1 and 2 and contains little quirks like a Jedi with a husband and children before Ep2 established that that was forbidden.

Has some great character moments with Obi Wan and Anakin, including a lovely bit of narration where Obi Wan expresses things familiar to anyone who’s taken a parental role in a child’s life. 

The book is somewhat marred by the kind of dull side story about Tarkin and his minion. It was fun at first but it just serves to pad out the page count.
