Book 1 (Disney Chapter Book (ebook)) - The Desperate Mission (Volume 1)

A great prequel to Jude Watson's Jedi Quest series. This story decribes what happened between Star Wars episode III and IV. Every Star Wars fan should read this book.

The people included in this story are Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ferus Olin, Boba Fett and many others. In the story, Obi-Wan is living on Tatooine and hears that former Jedi apprentice Olin survived the killing of Jedi knights by Darth Vader. This book describes Obi-Wan's quest to find Olin before being killed by bounty hunters.

Read this book!

Any true Star Wars fan yearns for more stories about Obi Wan and his years of self-imposed exile following the fall of the Jedi and the ascension of the Empire. This is not a complex or intricate tale, but it is fun, engaging, and thoroughly satisfying.

when you get home after the midnight showing of Revenge of the Sith, read this book!!! it deals with events about 3-4 months after ROTS and is very surprising. the inclusion of a certain jedi somebody from Obi-Wan's past is brilliant!!!! having Ben Kenobi spy on little baby luke is heartwarming having Obi-Wan remember all of his fallen friends and loved ones is heart-breaking. Realy a great way to deal with the heartache and action Episode III's sure to bring, and move us along into the rebellion era. because here's something to think about there are 18 years between episode III and IV....is Obi-wan at the end of Revenge the same man we see as "old man" Ben in episode IV? what can 18 years of grief, frustration, and fear look like for a Jedi. and maybe most importantly for the fans...how does Obi-Wan learn to become one with the force in A New Hope?

I enjoyed this further adventure of Obi-Wan as he watches over little Luke on Tatooine, and I am very interested in what will happen in the future books. :O) The adventure itself made for a great read, but the beginning of the book made me happy when I was able to see that Obi-Wan could talk to Qui-Gon. :O) Of course, I read this book before I read the hard cover of Episode III and so I was a little confused about what Qui-Gon was telling him he wasn't ready to train him for, but as soon as I read the other book, I understood perfectly. I thought this book was great, and I hope everyone else enjoys it as well! :O) I can't wait to read the others! LOL :O)

This was a very interesting book. I've always wonderd what Obi-Wan did during those years and how Luke became familiar with him. Even though this was ment for younger readers I really enjoyed it. It was also a quick read.
