Astri Oddo was the adopted daughter of Didi Oddo, who found her on the doorstep of his cafe. Astri eventually became a cook at a the cafe. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn were regulars of the cafe, and when Jinn was captured and Astri’s father shot by the bounty hunter Ona Nobis, Astri and Obi-Wan worked together to find Jenna Zan Arbor, who had Jinn and a cure for Astri’s father. Astri married Senator Bog Divinian and had a son, whom she named Lune, with him. But she eventually left him with the help of the Jedi and made her home on Nuralee. 

Years later, Astri sabotaged the planet Samaria’s computer systems with the permission of the prime minister. Emperor Palpatine sent Ferus Olin to capture her. Instead, he helped protect Astri and her son and hid them on a remote asteroid. Eventually the relocated to Dex Jetster’s safe house on Coruscant. While living there, Lune was kidnapped by the Empire, but Dex was able to arrange to have him rescued. Astri become involved with the Rebellion and was eventually killed attempting to destroy an Imperial factory on Bellazura.

I had no idea Astri appeared in any of the comics

Where does she show up?

i’m really conflicted on whether or not qui-gon was warm towards obi-wan throughout his apprenticeship

i have a feeling though that it varied greatly throughout the years and it got even worse after tahl died

now i made myself sad

Suddenly Qui-Gon stopped and turned to face his Padawan. “I am the one who was lost, Padawan. You were generous and patient with me. And I needed that patience. I still carry the wound I suffered when I lost Tahl. I will for the rest of my life.”
Obi-Wan nodded solemnly. “I know,” he said softly.
Qui-Gon placed a hand on Obi-Wan’s shoulder. “I am grateful for your efforts to help me through my pain. For a long time I was not ready to hear your words, but you were still right to speak them. Thanks to you I have found myself again – I have found a way to go on.

Your words…you are a comfort to me. Thank you.”

Obi-Wan let out a deep breath and smiled.

Watson, Jude. “The Only Witness.”

Honestly I think it was all in the little details. (Insofar as Jedi ever are warm, I guess.)

reasons to read the Jedi Apprentice series

panharmonium:

quicktothebatjalopy:

*O-baby-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn’S amazing jedi space adventures?? Is that not enough reason OK

*Obi-Wan is young and reckless and going way too far and has a passionate sense of justice only equaled by his desire for people to just have better manners darn it 

*Qui-Gon is literally the most stubborn human in the galaxy and he gets called out on it ALL THE TIME

*Ladies?? An awesome new female character around every corner. Miners, healers, politicians, mad scientists, serene jedi masters, caustic jedi padawans, gentle jedi initiates, cooks, revolutionaries, mechanics, bounty hunters. 

*Obi-Wan has a new little friend on every planet. “I don’t know how to people,” he grumbles as he makes a new friend for life. “Why can’t I be at ease in every situation like Qui-Gon is?” He bemoans, trailing disreputable new bosom bros behind him like a train.

*“The Council likes to be presented with freshly overturned governments more than revolutions in progress,” Qui-Gon blithely assures his dubious apprentice.

*no but really tho they never met an oppressive government they didn’t try to topple

*all the Jedi world building? If you gave ever wondered a thing about old Republic jedi, Jude Watson probably wondered too and wrote an answer

*They are basically printed novel size gen fanfics, so many tropes, so much peril and angst and teamwork and partners being concerned for each other

*made for kids, so the writing is not bad but it’s quite simple you can tear through one of these babies in like an hour or less

*“Not so! I lie!”

*Qui-Gon Jinn holding babies and making faces at small children

*Obi-Wan Kenobi the industrial-sized salt dispenser 

*Seriously just read them if you love Obi-Wan you should have read them already if you love Qui-Gon then these books and Liam Neeson are probably why

*Obi-Wan has a new little friend on every planet. “I don’t know how to
people,” he grumbles as he makes a new friend for life. “Why can’t I be
at ease in every situation like Qui-Gon is?” He bemoans, trailing
disreputable new bosom bros behind him like a train.

a passionate sense of justice only equaled by his desire for people to just have better manners

this is real this is the truth

pattroughton:

Another image of Obi-Wan flashed in Qui-Gon’s mind. An older Obi-Wan, ready to begin the intensive path toward the trials. Soon he would be more man than boy. He would take the leap toward becoming a Jedi Knight.

Pride and sadness flooded Qui-Gon as he pictured Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. He looked forward to the day that the two of them would work side by side as Jedi Knights, but with this thought no image came. Qui-Gon’s chest tightened. He was so proud of Obi-Wan’s path, of his achievements.

Why couldn’t he see him as a Knight? Perhaps I do not want to see the boy grow up, he thought.
