Synopsis
Jedi Appretcice Special Edition: 1
This book spans a period of 12 years and takes place before and after Episode I. It starts off with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon facing the aftermath of their showdown with Xanatos. The family of Bruck, the young Jedi who Obi-Wan fought and who ultimately died, blames the Jedi for his death. Bruck's father and brother, Kad, bring charges against the Jedi and specifically Obi-Wan. While Obi-Wan faces the charges, Qui-Gon investigates some cases of sabotage among the new Jedi Knight pilot school. How are they connected? Obi-Wan is eventually found not guilty by the Senate committee, but Kad still holds a deadly grudge.
Flash forward 12 years later when Anakin Skywalker is now Obi-Wan's Padawan. They are sent to investigate a colony of space nomads. As the duo arrive, they discover the leader is now the adult Kad. This causes some tense moments and makes Anakin wonder about the past of his master. However, their investigation digs up more suspicious happenings that threaten the entire group of nomads. They also discover the troubles are linked to the past beyond Kad.
