“The Mandalore Plot”
Star Wars: Clone Wars & Jedi Apprentice Novels Reviews Posted epguide212 300x137

An episode intriguing on several different levels. First and probably most important for EU fans is the introduction of the planet of Mandalore and it’s warriors. Secondly we get to see Obi-Wan Kenobi meeting with a beautiful female that he has somewhat of a history with – as we are told. The Dutchess.

Jedi Apprentice Volume 13: The Dangerous Rescue

Written by: Jude Watson

Another mixed bag. After twelve volumes, there just isn’t a lot of new territory to cover and I can’t shake the feeling that we’re hitting filler mode now. Just a few more adventures until we get til Episode I. It might not be quite that bad, but I would like to see a bit more development at this stage.

Qui-Gon is rescued, but Master Noor R’aya is still in Zan Arbor’s clutches. Who is R’aya? A venerated master but I have no idea why. There is little about him that is said, even as they eventually rescue him. For someone so venerated, I expected a bit more about him by the end of the day. Especially due to the set up, where we are led to believe he is truly important.

The plot thickens throughout as Zan Arbor releases a dangerous disease on a planet as per her usual, where she has an antidote she will “discover” at the last moment.

The twist comes with the duplicity of Uta S’orn, a senator who had recently retired. Her son was a Force Sensitive whom Zan Arbor had experimented on and later killed. Despite this S’orn still works with Arbor to make her fortune, putting her own planet at risk.

Restructuring

by Paul Talon on Jan.30, 2010, under Uncategorized

In a long termed project, I’d like to rearrange my reviews so that they are pages instead of posts. Pages that will be subpages of their saga page. So much like they are on the Superman Page (for Smallville) and the Star Wars & V Pages they will be available in drop down fashion from the menu. This of course will take a TON of time and reorganizing of links. I will also be starting on this date (1/30/10) be placing new reviews as pages only.

I will keep the posts as posts for now so that no links will be broken, until I’m done.

“Epitaph Two: Return”

Wow. Now this was a far better finale. I have to hand it to Whedon and company. They had an hour left to provide a satisfactory ending and under the time constraints, I think they handled the job quite deftly. I can certainly understand some people having problems with some of the glossed over elements or perhaps the speed of conclusion, but I was more than satisfied with the ending.
