didn't expect ORLA JARENI to be in the Padawan book nor did i expect obi wan to fan girl over her but I am no less ecstatic

[dreamerkath]

Tell me you haven’t read any Star Wars books without telling me you’ve never read any Star Wars books….

"boohoo obi wan was such a stickler as a padawan he was all by the books and wouldn't break a rule to save his life"

my brother in christ. he was the worst one out of his entire lineage. he just learnt to poker face. man stayed behind on child soldier planet as a kid because he told qui gon to fuck off. he has never followed any rule but his own, he just knew how to lie. and also to be a bit more refined about it than his master and padawan

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday

Teenage Obi-Wan is an interesting part of Star Wars that we haven’t really seen before. We know really old (and dead) Obi-Wan from the original Star Wars, and, we know the middle aged Obi-Wan from the prequels, so, reading about teenage Obi-Wan was cool and different. There’s a bunch of usual teen angst and not knowing where the teen character is supposed to be sort of story beats in this for sure, but, the author definitely gets to the core of the Obi-Wan character as well, and it was fun to read parts and see the upcoming canon media in this book. A really fun read.

Padawan by Kiersten White

[kingofattolia]

Qui-Gon: Hm... I can see that my 16yo padawan who has never been on a mission in his life is stuck in a mental rut and handicapping himself with self-doubt. What he needs is an excursion into the real world to build confidence and learn to trust the Force in practice, not in theory! Take him on his first mission myself? Nah. I think a better idea is to engineer a scenario where he thinks I've abandoned him and goes on the mission alone, into danger with zero way of communicating if something goes wrong. Best way to build character.

"The Force isn't something I consume and burn up. It's so much more than just power. It's life. It's connection. It's--it's this." Obi-Wan gestured around the clearing. "It's trying to find the balance, that place between life and death where peace can exist. Being a small part of a great whole.”- Kiersten White, Padawan

Soooooo I was reading the book Padawan by Kiersten White. It's about Obi Wan as a Padawan, and, bro, if Anakin did the things Obi Wan did in this book, he would NEVER hear the end of it from Obi Wan.

Go read this book. Please. It's amazing.

Hi, since you’ve been reading the star wars books, do you have one you’d recommend as a starting point for someone who’s never read any of them and is interested in seeing what they’re like?

Hi! This is going to be very subjective, given that I'm not sure what your favorite characters are or which era you're interested in, and if you're interested in the best books out there or ones that typify what the books are overall like. BEST BOOKS: - Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover, god-tier ability to take my favorite SW movie and make it even more emotional and hard-hitting. It adds even more depth to the story, has beautiful writing, and just is a really satisfying read imo. - Padawan by Kiersten White, which is a story about a young Obi-Wan going on an adventure by himself and I think really captures how I see his youth, that there was struggle and difficulty, but overall it explains why he loves being a Jedi and why there's so much joy in his life. - Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule is good for if you're interested in the High Republic stories and I still think is easily my favorite of the entire line. There was so much good foreshadowing and banger lines that really got Star Wars and was an exciting plot to really hook me on THR.

BOOKS THAT MOST TYPIFY WHAT SW BOOKS ARE LIKE: - Brotherhood by Mike Chen is one that I have some stuff I side-eye in it (everything with Mace) and some stuff I was over the moon for (everything with Obi-Wan) and some stuff I was in the middle about (everything with Anakin). That's Star Wars novels in a nutshell for you! (I also think Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott is another good starting place, it's an audiodrama, but it gives an interesting backstory to the character, has some interesting Jedi worldbuilding, and does some really great character work with Asajj Ventress.) - Wild Space by Karen Miller is a Legends book (and I usually try to stick to Disney continuity just for ease's sake) but it has some eyeroll-worthy stuff, some unearned stuff, and some absolutely batshit bonkers in the best way stuff. It's a RIDE to read and maybe not one to take super seriously but I feel like it captures the spirit of SW books. (Alternate suggestion: Dark Rendezvous by Sean Stewart is a really good Yoda & Dooku book with a lot of good appearances by other Jedi characters and one of the better books for Jedi stuff, plus lots of feelings and banger conversations between characters.) (Alternate-alternate suggestion: Another Legends suggestion, since there are a lot of SW books in that continuity, you could read the Jedi Apprentice series by Dave Wolverton and Jude Watson, as long as you know they're aimed at a pre-teen audience and are written accordingly and they are SUPER dramatic and put Obi-Wan through the wringer. I'm not always wild about Watson's writing, but when she writes a banger line, she writes a BANGER line, and they're very fun books that a lot of fandom still folds into their writing.) - The Aftermath trilogy by Chuck Wendig is a good place to start if you want to explore the connective tissue between the originals and the sequels, though I always recommend that I think they work a thousand times better as audiobooks. It's mostly new characters (which, welcome to SW novels) but it also has some really good Leia and Mon Mothma scenes, too. - Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray is for if you're more interested in the Original Trilogy characters and while I wish there'd been more worldbuilding in this one, it's a solid story from someone who genuinely loves this character, and will give you a good idea of what you can expect from Leia books. (If you're more interested in a Han/Leia story, The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis is on the same level. Solid story with occasional moments of fantastic. I had a blast with the Leia sections especially!)
