The Jedi Apprentice series, written by Jude Watson and published between 1999 and 2008, consists of 40 books set in the Star Wars universe prior to the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It follows young Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, as they undertake missions that test their abilities, moral choices, and the bond between master and apprentice. The stories explore themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complexities of the Force, featuring both standalone adventures and a connected narrative arc. The series was originally launched with a book by Dave Wolverton, but the majority of the titles were written by Jude Watson. The books are primarily intended for readers aged 9 to 12, though they have been read by older audiences due to their narrative structure and writing style.
