Secrets can be lostAugust 28, 2006 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was a very good book. I loved how Siri was in basiclly the entire book. She isn't in alot of the books, but she's my favorite character. The ending was very sad, yet happy too. Just a warning. There's something on the cover though, and it involves Siri's lightsaber. It isn't her's. The hilt matches Obi-Wan Kenobi's exactly. But it's purple. Did this bother anyone else?

Secrets of the Jedi Special Edition -by Jude Watson
The Story
Part 1 Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, still remain at the temple. Qui-Gon is trying to overcome the loss of his lover Tahl. Attatchment is forbidden for a Jedi, so he cannot share his feelings with anyone else.
Obi-Wan brings his master Sapir Tea in the morning although Qui-Gon tries to discourage him. Obi-Wan ,however, keeps coming.
Part 2 Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan join another Jedi team, Adi Gallia and Siri Tachi, to try to escort a boy - called Talesan Fry - to the Senate so he can testify about an assassination. Qui-Gon and Adi Gallia (the two masters) leave their padawans to protect the boy. They try to find a new ship, since they had to crash their old one to escape a bounty hunter.
Qui-Gon and Adi end up as stow-aways on the bounty hunter's ship. There they find the way to Rondai-2 to stop the assassinations.
Obi-Wan and Siri are forced to steal one one of bounty-hunter's, other ships to escape Quadrant 7. Soon they find the ship is rigged to explode. This results in the Padawan's relationship becomeing closer than friendship and also in Taly getting captured.
Soon all four Jedi reunite and rescue Taly and halt the assassination.
Part 3 Twenty Years later, Obi-Wan and Siri have taken the trials and become Jedi.
Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan's apprentice, and Padme Amidala, his wife, have also developed a different type of love - possession. This book shows how much different attatchment is from possession.
Obi-Wan and Siri find themselves reunited with Talesan on a certain mission with Anakin and Padme. A bounty hunter from the past again comes into the story and lives now could be lost.
Recommendations I recommend this book for any Star Wars fan who doesn't think they'd die of a broken heart. There is a death, but I won't say who it is. I gave this book only four stars because I thought it ended much too sadly, but don't let that stop you from reading it because you might think differently.
Very IntrestingDecember 7, 2005 3 out of 11 found this review helpful
I really loved this book and I thought it was really sad when Siri gave her life for Padme's because she was a very imporntant senator. I thought it was the right thing to do because the storyline of Star Wars might have drasticcly changed if events had been different. I knew all about Jinn's relationshio with Tahl and how he felt. Overall it was a good book and loved it eventhough sometimes I was on the verge of crying. Another beautiful story by Jude Watson.
Another well done book by Jude Watson!September 13, 2005 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a great book! For those of you who love action, this has a lot of it, but focuses on the relationships of the Jedi in this book. My cousin and I read it, and we both agree that Qui-Gon may have been a little selfish in the end. I mean, that is the first time, I've ever heard of Obi-Wan crying! I mean, Obi-Wan understood what happened between Qui-Gon and Tahl. He knew it was forbidden, but did he bring the council in? No, he comforted Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon just made him tear his heart in two.If you read this book, you can decide if Qui-Gon was selfish or not. Being Jude Watson's Number One fan, I thought that this was definitly the most emotional Star Wars book by her so far. The ending of both sections definitly brought a tear to my eye. But I still love this book!
