Star Wars: Prelude to Rebellion by Jan Strnad

3.0

One of the few Jedi Council members to get a speaking line in the films, plus one of the more upsetting Order 66 deaths (after Aayla Secura), we get to find out more about Ki-Adi-Mundi and Cerean culture. It was great seeing how a Jedi can do his duties while being a family man at the same time. The 20-1 female-male ratio of Cereans meant that Ki-Adi-Mundi was allowed to marry for the sake of the species.
This story takes a little while to get going leading to a bizarre aliens-type encounter in space (it would be great to see those things back again) and a rather unnecessary encounter with Jabba the Hutt and a lightning storm.
Jabba's best buddy Ephant Mon also featured a fair bit in this story, and I enjoyed seeing him fleshed out a bit more. I always found him one of the more intriguing characters of Jabba's entourage.
The bonus story at the back that follows Ki-Adi-Mundi's first solo mission as a Jedi dealing with bandits on Cerea was a nice little bonus.
