Synopsis:
Before their military heroism in the Clone Wars,
before their tragic battle on Mustafar, and many decades
before their final confrontation on the Death Star, they
were Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his young Padawan, Anakin
Skywalker. Now join them a few years into the „chosen
one“ Anakin’s training. Teacher and student have grown
closer over time, but it’s been a difficult road. And
things aren’t about to get any easier. In fact, when
they are called to a remote planet for assistance, the
pair may be pushed to breaking point. As they find
themselves stranded on a strange world of primitive
technology and deadly natives, will they be able to save
themselves? First they must learn who called for
help…and why! |

Review by Darth Kondorr, Poland,
2016: |

"There
we have it… chronologically speaking this is the first read you get
in the New Expanded Universe. I was hesitantly excited to read this,
as I have some sentiments towards the objectively mixed bag of
pre-Clone Wars comics. There were some great ones, some truly
horrible ones… and many so mediocre I was glad the Clone Wars came
and shook up this universe. "Regrettably I have to say, that this
second attempt at making it right, is as a mixed bag as what came
before it. Although the art is gritty and great, seldom do the
characters look like the actors portraying them. That is not always
a very bad point, but with good Star Wars fiction I can normally
hear the actors voices when reading their lines… here it was not so.
Neither Obi Wan’s nor Anakin’s characters were truly captured and as
the story moved along I understood that all of this was written more
as a tool, a means to get from start to finish, rather than a work
of passion for the characters that were on this road. "Yes, the
ending had a nice twist, nothing major, just enough to justify a
slightly higher rating but overall this was nothing special. A
showcase of lack of subtlety in parallels between the major
characters and the secondary ones and an attempt at feeding the
story of the movies with additional details. And here I can say,
that the one highlight of this book is a not completely successful
attempt at showing the origin of the friendship between Palpatine
and Anakin. Something that truly requires to be much deeper
explored."
