The Dangerous Games (Star Wars Legends)
Master and apprentice.
Chosen by fate. Destined for conflict.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are sent to the Galactic Games, they are meant to be keepers of the peace. Then they discover an illegal event that Anakin knows all too well: Podracing. Even though Obi-Wan forbids it, Anakin cannot resist the thrill of the race—and the chance to face off against his childhood rival, the loathsome Sebulba.
As a Jedi, Anakin is supposed to let go of his past. But his past will not let go of him.
This is part of a series but this can be read as a stand alone. The Olympics come to the Star Wars universe and Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent to oversee them. Obi-Wan stumbles onto a plot of gambling that has bigger implications while Anakin enters a podrace.I am enjoying this series and I did like this book. I did think this book was the weakest offering so far. Even though this series is meant to explore the relationship between Jedi master and padawan I believe the highlight is exploring Anakin
I know this is a childrens book but its kind of a train wreck from the start. Watsons previous young readers books have mostly been pretty good but this one has almost no redeeming qualities. The plot of fixing the galactic games is too complicated. Coincidences are just too convenient. Its just not good.
i like the fact that apart from the usual angst (anakin being angry and afraid and insecure, and obi-wan worried about anakin and anxious in general and remembering qui-gon), this book had a mystery going on. it made the book feel longer and complex, which i appreciated.
The Star Wars version of the Olympics, podracing, illegal gambling, corrupt politicians, quite an interesting book. I'd forgotten Didi, Astri, and Bog were in this one. I don't know how, they're rather central to the plot. I guess I just focused more on their part in Last of the Jedi. As always, I don't agree with everything in Star Wars, but there was a lot of good in the things Anakin learned in not letting past grievances cloud his judgement. He didn't exactly make the right decisions, but
It was a great read. It was nice to see Sebulba again, and the pod racing will always be in Anakin's blood.
Another great addition to this series and world! I have to say, I really don't like Ferus Olin, he judges Anakin pretty harshly instead of trying to help him learn to be a better Jedi. I get that he is a padawan too, but I feel like his being so good at the Jedi skills is allowing his Master to overlook his shortcomings.
