Summary:   Ki-Adi-Mundi's first assignment after joining the Jedi Council will take him to the fearsome desert wastelands of Tatooine. The Jedi Council has tracked a long wayward and powerful Jedi, Sharad Hett of the Sand People, to the backwater world, and it's up to Ki to find him and convince him to return. Only two things stand in his way: the vicious krayt dragon of Tatooine and the Jedi-slaying bounty hunter Aurra Sing! Ki has little choice but to ask for help from the slimiest crime lord of them all, Jabba the Hutt - and Jabba's aid always comes with a price! Review:   Another good story of the Jedi. We meet for the first time two new characters who will play a major role in the years to come. The first is A'Sharad Hett, son of Sharad Hett the famous Jedi. A'Sharad shows his own courage against both a krayt dragon and the other new character, Aurra Sing, former apprentice to the Dark Woman. It was also interesting to get a back story to the Tusken Raiders and how it might come about that things are so bad in the future with Tuskens attacking settlements so often. Back to the Rise of the Empire Era. Back to Star Wars Eras.
