4.0 out of 5 stars Two exciting "Clone Wars" adventures, July 6, 2009

This review is from: Jedi Adventures (DK READERS) (Paperback)

"Jedi Adventures" retells two installments from the CGI "Clone Wars" show. The first episode is 'Rising Malevolence,' which centers on a secret Separatist weapon. General Grievous uses the weapon to destroy three Venator Class Star Destroyers, one of which is commanded by Jedi Master Plo Koon. Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano investigate. While Anakin and his new Padawan find Plo Koon, the rescue mission winds-up in the same danger that initially destroyed the Republic ships. The second story told in "Jedi Adventures" is 'Cloak of Darkness.' In this episode, Jedi Master Luminara is Ahsoka's partner. Their mission is to guard Nute Gunray so that he can stand trial. This turns out to be no ordinary assignment when Asajj Ventress arrives to free the prisoner. The two episodes are refreshing because the reader gets to spend time with characters that aren't always in the spotlight. Specifically, these stories offer significant character development on Plo Koon, Luminara and Asajj Ventress. Heather Scott's writing is good for most fifth graders. At forty-eight pages, every page is packed with text and illustrations. The lush pictures are all from the TV show. The layouts are very attractive and the end of the book features a much needed glossary. The "Clone Wars" show rekindled the Star Wars phenomenon. Thanks to "Jedi Adventures," fans don't need the television to enjoy these Clone Wars stories.
