Review:I'm really starting to like this series! It really gives you a good insight into Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship.But as usual, I do have a few small gripes. One thing is the Phindians. I hardly can picture what they look like. Orange eyes and long arms; that's about all I could pick up on. I know that these are kid's books, but I think a little elaboration of their descriptions would've been better. Then there's what may be one of the biggest continuity errors ever that this book only makes worse: Owen. For those who haven't read the book yet I'll spare the details, but this book reveals that Obi-Wan has a brother named Owen. For those who don't know, the Return of the Jedi novelization explains that Owen Lars is Obi-Wan's brother, though in Attack of the Clones, we learn that this is not the case. The Official Site tells us that Owen Lars and Ben Kenobi are not brothers. This is gonna be a tough case to solve, but hopefully it will fixed before too long. Anyways, as always, the book could be longer, but these are minor gripes. I highly recommend this book! |
