We get another pair of books, these two unlinked, for the first time in the series. The first features Siri Tachi, another young padawan, and some of her growth, as she works alongside the more galactically aware Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In Shattered Peace, we get to see Obi-Wan continue to struggle to find the line of appropriate behavior between duty and self-care.

We return in the middle of an investigation to a mysterious intruder in the Jedi temple. Who could it be? (it's Xanatos, like we suspected, Qui-Gon's disgraced former apprentice).

What's more compelling is seeing how Obi-Wan works through the trauma of war, the loss of trust and how Qui-Gon struggles to find a way to trust someone who betrayed him.

Betrayal and war! Obi-Wan leaves the Jedi Order for a cause he sees as more important than his future as Qui-Gon Jinn's padawan! These two books contain a story that resonates throughout Obi-Wan's experiences as a Padawan, and later as a Knight and a Master, even impacting his mentorship of Anakin much down the line. These are a pair of really good stories!

We continue the adventures of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, as they go to planets rife with authoritarianism and help people find freedom and democracy! Obi-Wan struggles with patience and Qui-Gon contemplates the legacy he'll leave behind. Plus, I learn the difference between a swoop and a speeder!

We begin the journey of Obi-Wan Kenobi's apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn with the first two books of the Jedi Apprentice series. We learn the struggles of Obi-Wan as he deals with frustration and anger, and see how those grow as he's exposed to the greater galaxy and a broader range of injustice. We see the history of Qui-Gon and the challenges he faces before he is able to fully accept Obi-Wan as his apprentice.

Today we go over the first eleven episodes, covering books from 25000 BBY to a mere 1000 BBY. We do a quick run down of all the books discussed, how the podcast has evolved, and make recommendations on what to read and why!

We round out the Coruscant Nights trilogy with book four - The Last Jedi, not to be confused with the movie by the same name. We get more conflict with Vader, fleeing from Vader, and fighting fruitlessly against, you guessed it, Darth Vader!

Our next episode will be a season wrap up, and I'm excited to cover everything we've talked about before!wrap-up

Another noir mystery in the dark streets of the Coruscant underworld in the shadowy days following the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire! We have two stories that barely tie into the main plot, and only through happenstance, but we get a bit better of a mystery than we do in the first of this series.

We also have one of many quotations of "I have a bad feeling about this!" you can check out the full list here.
