This series starts out with with Jedi Knight Odan-Urr, who is a Jedi scholar. He is in the middle of his studies when his master informs him that he must go to the Koros system to help Empress Teta finish the civil war her system is currently waging. In that same system, Jori and Gav who are brother and sister await the return of their parents from a supplies run to one of the war zones off planet. Unfortunately, their ship is shot out of the sky and they perish along with it. Odan-Urr meets up with a fellow Jedi and informs him that he has learned a new Force technique that could help end the struggle. This technique is called Jedi battle meditation. This technique allows the Jedi to change the mid of their enemies and surrender.
In the next part, Jori and Gav become hyperspace adventures, which seems pretty cool. They get to put random co-ordinates into the computer and see where it takes them. But this time, their co-ordinates took them somewhere that was thought to be destroyed long ago. They landed on the doorstep of the Sith Empire. Of course, Gav and Jori had no clue that they were on Korriban so they acted as representatives of the republic wishing to set up a trade route with the Sith people. Just before the pair land, the Sith are mourning the lose of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Ludo Kressh is leading the procession as his nemesis, Naga Sadow, approaches. The two get into a heated fight but Gav and Jori land on the planet to offer them a distraction. Gav and Jori are captured by the Sith and held in two different locations. Sadow starts to teach Gav the ways of being a sith. Later, Ludo Kressh attacks Naga Sadows decoy base and Sadow urges Jori to flee back to the Republic. But little does Jori know that he has put a tracking beacon on the hull of her ship.
I liked how this story was told. I was able to finish all the novels in under a week without missing out on some important details. The authors of these issues did an incredible job of making sure that everything was authentic. What I mean by this is that they didn't have lightsabers that have a portable battery pack like in the Clone Wars or the original trilogy do. These lightsabers needed to be attached to the belt of the user be a chord in order to receive power. Also, the ships didn't look modern. Some of them had sails. I also got to see the ways a Sith manipulate people up close. It was very interesting to see Naga Sadow being kind and understanding with Gav and Jori but in the end, all he wanted to do was cripple the Republic and let the Sith Empire reign victorious. He also did a very good job of turning the Sith people against Ludo Kressh so that he could guarantee his new title.
I'm going to use this last paragraph to talk about the decision that was made to cancel The Clone Wars. I really love this show and I (and many others) feel that a huge mistake is being made by Disney and Lucasarts. I have heard some rumors that bonus content will be released, but even that may (or will) leave some important points to the story out. For example, what will happen to Ahsoka? I really don't think that this "Bonus Content" will leave me satisfied. I'm not even sure if Captain Rex was in Order 66 or if he gets killed before hand. I need to know!!!!! I was OK with season 6 being the last one but now that it's canceled, I don't know. I have found this website that is dedicated to trying to save The Clone Wars. I am going to write to Disney and Lucasarts to show my support of The Clone Wars and if your reading this and like The Clone Wars, I hope that you will show your support to. It's not right for the series to end like this after all of the success it's had over the past 5 seasons.
My next post will be on The Fall of the Sith Empire #1-3. Till then, may the Force be with you.........
