As we move to the pre-war period, we get our first story that truly features Anakin Skywalker as a primary character, in Rogue Planet, written by Greg Bear. While I am critical in many ways, I think this book is important to see some of the early development of Anakin, as this is the only legends novel (there are some YA books) that covers him at age twelve, and one at fifteen, before we see him going from nineteen to twenty-two over the course of the Clone Wars.

Join us next week as we tackle Outbound Flight, by Timothy Zahn
