Our new villain sits this one out, or at least we do not see their hand in this directly.

A return to podracing, as well as Star Warsified Olympics.

I'm really enjoying the style of these Jedi Quest books. I'm not sure it seems more refined, more solid than the Jedi Apprentice books. I'm enjoying the stories quite a bit.

Standard story. Was nice to see Anakin podracing again.

Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent to keep peace at the controversial Space Olympics. Shenanigans ensue.

We have the whole squad on this one, but almost everyone else takes a back seat. Siri, Tru Veld, and the gang only show up at the beginning and the end. Highlights:

• Anakin decides that, obviously, the best way to help the mission is for him to participate in an underground podrace. Personally, I LOVE to see that kid in a podracer and I would let him race as much as he wants. RIP to Obi-Wan, but I'm different.

• No offense to Qui-Gon's memory, but I hate Didi so much. He might not be pure evil, but he is the worst and I wash my hands of him.

• I have a pretty bad feeling about Bog. I feel like he's going to come up later in a not-good way.

• Obi-Wan to Siri: You watch the bowcaster contest, while I patrol the holographic obstacle course event.

Me, vibrating in my seat: I've seen Deception Arc. I know how this ends.

Obi-Wan: *gets trapped into running the obstacle course and wins a Space Olympic medal*

Me: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
