Star Wars Read-Through Part 12: Post Episode I: Jedi Adventures

Episode I: The Phantom Menace established the status quo for the prequels going forward. We have Obi-Wan Kenobi, recently graduated Jedi Knight. His apprentice, young Anakin Skywalker, who just won his freedom from slavery on the desert planet Tatooine. A Republic plagued with corruption. We don't know much about where the story is headed. But we do know Anakin and Obi-Wan will have more adventures, as will countless Jedi and other heroes and villains. For this post, I consumed the following stories: Republic 7-12: Outlander (comic arc by Timothy Truman , 1999) Republic 13-18: Emissaries to Malastare (comic arc by Timothy Truman, 1999-2000) Republic 27: Starcrash (comic issue by Doug Petrie , 2001) Rogue Planet (novel by Greg Bear , 2000) I read the novel in the hardcover format. Republic 7-18 were collected in the graphic novel Omnibus: Emissaries and Assassins . Issue 27 was collected in Omnibus: Menace Revealed . Cover of "Rogue Planet" by Greg Bea
