Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)OK, I've been hiding the Jedi Apprentice series underneath piles of work, reading (and, yes, rereading) them when I should be working on my dissertation, but #7, The Captive Temple, was so good that I'm finally coming out of the closet (so to speak). Anyone of any age with the remotest interest in the Star Wars universe must read these books. The richness with which Watson draws the characters (not only Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, but the entire supporting cast as well,) in addition to the skillful balance of internal, emotional battles and external lightsaber battles makes these books, and #7 in particular, compelling and immensely satisfying books. Watson also doesn't go for the sitcom-like "wrap the whole problem up in 30 minutes" cop-out the way many children's books do...we are forced to wait, with the same patience that Obi-Wan is frequently reminded he must cultivate. " The Captive Temple" was certainly worth waiting for...Watson gives us enough foreshadowing of events for us to put them together on our own, but not so early that we know the entire course of the story after one page (well, at least I didn't). It was wonderful to see more of the Jedi Temple, as well as some favorite characters from earlier books- Bant, Tahl, and of course, Xanatos. An earlier reviewer is absolutely right, though- don't start with #7- you'll appreciate the story much more if you start with #1...but by all means, just read the book!

When someone tries to kill Yoda, it's up to young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn to investigate. Everyone in the Jedi Temple is a suspect - and the true culprit may be the darkest rival of all.
