Another quick adventure with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I enjoyed this story slightly better than the previous one, but it is starting to feel repitious. I mean, it really HAS to be....for us to see some kind of growth and learning in a Master and Padawan relationship, BUT (again, sorry)...it's not always that fun to read.

Power dynamics on other planets within the Republic. Tensions between two of them...and how to de-escalate tensions and save as many people (and animals) as possible....to consider the trip a success or a failure. Also, how did Obi-Wan do in each situation? and how is Qui-Gon doing in handling his padawan (for we all know of his internal struggles).

This seemed like a Clone Wars - 22 minute episode. Quick and to the point.

I hope the next TEN novellas do NOT follow this formula to T, for it is becoming boring. Sorry.
