Looks to be an interesting book. Shows a bit of Dooku's past, and of Qui-Gon's past. In fact, it has a young Dooku and young Qui-Gon on the cover, as well as Obi-Wan and Anakin. Although, Dooku does look kinda like a dork as a kid.

I just heard about this. It looks exciting. The idea of doing a book covering (at least in part) the apprenticeships of Count Dooku and then Qui-Gon Jinn is a noble effort to answer some of the questions we've had since AOTC came out last year.It is a bit eerie though. I dreamed of something like this back when they started the Jedi Apprentice series by JUde Watson.

looks like I'm gonna have to save my pennies:-)

I s it going to be a hardback or paperback first?

I believe paperback...but that could just be imagining things.

I prefer paperbacks than hardcovers, generally speaking.

I'll have to get this, see if it doesgive any further insight.

Paperbacks are cool just because they are a lot cheaper:-)

You're telling me! Hardbacks here usually run up to $30, but are greatly reduced if you can find them in used bookstores. Something like $10 for hardbacks and only a few dollars for paperbacks. That's where I like to get my weekly fix on Star Wars!

ohhh...I usually buy my hardbacks from amazon ....then they're always on sale and I get them for about $18

I've bought Dr Who films online from them before. I prefer amazon than ebay.

I don't go on ebay...haven't figured the whole thing out

They're not as reliable.

well I'll stick to Amazon for now then....they seem to be reliable....

Trust me, they're the best general online store.

sometimes I use barnes and noble...but not usually....I hardly buy books online anyway.....but sometimes it is cheaper when i get free shipping at amazon so when I do buy that's who i go with...cheap is good....in monetary terms anyway

I just go to the next town to their Barnes and Nobles store. I didn't realise they were online.

barnes and noble..is ok, but in the regular stores you have to pay full price most of the time

$30 for the latest in Star Trek AND Star Wars hardcovers!

I have a bookstore just down the street from me, so I go there.

It will be paperback first, I believe. Dooku still looks like a dork though.

You think that, too? This should be very interesting, I think. So what is Dooku's full name? I can't believe he would have the "Count" title that far back! And do you think he is the reason Yoda only trains "younglings" now, at the Jedi Temple, instead of taking on actual apprentices?

no not really...I think that Yoda probably trains the younglings because he's just the right size
Yes Dooku looks like a dork..and it could happen that he got the title by birthright and so even as a kid is considered a "count"

Ah, like an heiress to the throne or something....very cool idea.

uh actually I think Dooku would be heir...but hey technicalities
yes a young count....they could have done a better job of making him young though

Like I said, he looks like a dork.

Actually, I stumbled upon his full name on TheForce.Net once, but now I've lost it forever. It was Count J------ Dooku. I just remember his first name started with a J, count being a title and Dooku being his last name.

Oh he's a man of mystery this Count J------- Dooku
Never trust a count:-)

Counts can be tricky.

tricky.....yes..
next topic....besides how awful Dooku looks

What IS the next topic?

hmmm.....why didn't anyone say anything about how the other characters on that cover looked/

Maybe because we're used to how the others look, except that wouldn't be true for a younger Qui-Gon Jinn.

hm...

at least he looks normal!!!!!!!!!

I always thought the young Obi-Wan Kenobi was well realised in TPM . Perhaps a young Qui-Gon Jinn will also be in this new book.

Yes they did a good job with young obi

Young Qui-Gon Jinn looks cool. He's got a blue saber to match his outfit and show he's a learner.

yes...everybody is young at one point or another....

Even Time Lords.

????....it's a natural process.....time must march on

I can hear the drums as the marching of time continues.....Soon it will be time for Legacy of the Jedi to be released!

yess......well I forget...yet again...when it comes out...but I know that Shatterpoint is coming out in may

That will be cool. Something to look forward to.

yes indeed.....Matrix, new star wars book, end of school.....oh what joy...now if only this star wars cartoon would come out too...

Oh it will! I for one am looking forward to it when it debuts later this year.

what do you people think of the title of the book....it sounds kinda....well just ok

The title is a bit bland and not exciting enough if you ask me.

eh it's ok, but I believe they probably could have done better.....not my story so I'll just "deal" with the title......
