I finally read the Jedi Apprentice series (if you are a Star Wars fan/Obi-Wan fan GO READ THEM its worth it) and so I thought I’d post my thoughts on the little things I love about the series:
-Obi-Wan has apparently always been a little sassafras (soooo much sass and salt)
– The sheer level of “give no f*cks” Qui-Gon has reached
-The friendship with Obi-Wan, Bant, Garen, and Reeft
-Little Obi has too many problems
-Xanatos “I burned a hole in my face for the aestheitc” du Crion
-Basically the entire Melida/Daan story arc hoo boy
-How often Qui-Gon uses mind tricks
-TAHL AND QUI-GON ARE IN LOVE
-Obi-Wan’s New Alien Friend™ every book
-How “amusement” apparently equals “dragging my 16 year old padawan out at the crack of dawn to go climb a treacherous mountain populated by bloodthirsty beasts” in Qui-Gon speak
-Obi-Wan’s sweet tooth
-That Qui-Gon literally said “I don’t need a plan” at one point
-Obi-Wan giving his lightsaber to Qui-Gon- his life and trust
-When Qui-Gon was complaining about how reckless Obi-Wan had been disobeying orders and Adi Gallia was just like “yeah you taught him well”
-How the Jinn/Kenobi team gets into awful trouble EVERY SINGLE TIME even when they just go visit a friend or something
-The bounty hunter with the whip
-The fact that there was actually a decent amount of well written and interesting female characters
-”Qui-Gon is tall” jokes
-Obi’s “My place is by your side” line
-That one time when Obi-Wan was injured so Qui-Gon just picked him up bridal style and ran off with him (not even kidding)
-Even though the writing is pretty simplistic, it will still hit you with a boatload of feels
-Like when Qui-Gon was meditating about Obi-Wan and was sad and confused when he couldn’t see a vision of them working together as Jedi Knights
-New alien species!
-”In the life of a Jedi, things seldom go according to plan.”
-The flashback special books when we get to see padawan Anakin too
-When Obi-Wan said “Jedi do not threaten. We inform” to Anakin when literally 10 seconds earlier he was like- get tf over here and talk or I’ll blow you out of the sky
-More Jedi telepathy through force bonds
-ALL THE FORESHADOWING
