“Star Wars: Brotherhood” really feels like an extension of the prequel movies and that’s exactly what fans want from a prequel era novel. Anakin just might have to break the rules to help save his former Master. 2 other key characters included here are two Neimoidian Defense Legion members- Ruug Quarnom and her partner Ketar.Īs one might expect, the investigation goes awry and Kenobi finds himself in hot water. The two form an unexpected bond together that will play into the story later on. He meets a Zabrak Youngling (Mill) who is both overwhelmed by the Force and is questioning the Jedi Order.

Anakin, meanwhile, is on his first lead mission to deliver aid to Langston with Jedi Younglings. This actually marks the first meeting between the 2 characters. Obi-Wan Kenobi is dispatched to travel to Cato Neimoidia to investigate the bombing where he will be monitored by a Separatist (none other than Asajj Ventress) to ensure nothing shady occurs. Was this done by the Separatists or the Republic? That is the question. Set between “Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack Of The Clones” and “Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith,” the story revolves around Anakin Skywalker (now a Jedi Knight and no longer Obi-Wan’s Padawan) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (now on the Jedi Council) who become caught up in a bombing disaster that befell Cato Neimoidia (a neutral system in the Clone War). “Star Wars: Brotherhood” marks author Mike Chen’s debut Star Wars novel (he previously penned a Star Wars story for “From A Certain Point Of View: The Empire Strikes Back”) and what a debut it is.

Given that it’s one of 2 Star Wars days (May 25th being the other), it seems only fitting to review a brand new Star Wars novel on May The 4th. “Star Wars: Brotherhood” is the Star Wars book you’ve been looking for.
