Good Old Star Wars

Really impressed by this. I'm so glad that I finally had the time to revisit Jude Watson because she reminds me of why Star Wars used to captivate me so. It does help that the limitations imposed for an explicitly YA light novel produced in partnership with Scholastic prevent the story from going in the disgusting direction that a lot of EU stories went. No torture porn or questionable uses of power by the good guys here.

It also had, just, a really satisfying ending in its own right. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon on the same page at last.
