The Archives Are IncompleteEpisode 48: Jedi Apprentice - The Fight For Truth & The Shattered PeaceWe get another pair of books, these two unlinked, for the first time in the series. The first features Siri Tachi, another young padawan, and some of her growth, as she works alongside the more galactically aware Obi-Wan Kenobi. In Shattered Peace, we get to see Obi-Wan continue to struggle to find the line of appropriate behavior between duty and self-care. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thearchivesareincomplete/support 2023-03-2330 min

Who could it be? (it's Xanatos, like we suspected, Qui-Gon's disgraced former apprentice). What's more compelling is seeing how Obi-Wan works through the trauma of war, the loss of trust and how Qui-Gon struggles to find a way to trust someone who betrayed him. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thearchivesareincomplete/support 2023-03-0942 min

This, much like the book centered on Mace Windu is exceptional, and there are some brilliant arguments for and against the personal philosophies of Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, and the little green swamp toad himself.

There are lots of dynamic fight scenes and wonderful philosophical conversations that I don't delve into too deeply. Plus it's a standalone book, so there's not a huge commitment, it features a character that you're likely familiar with if you've seen the movies, and, in my opinion presents some interesting questions and conclusions (which, of course, are discussed in this episode).

This book is absolutely fantastic with absolutely massive amounts of detail that's connected to all sorts of things. This is our longest episode yet by a *lot* clocking in at nearly two and a half hours, so save this for a longer drive. We talk about the development of the Sith and the execution of the Grand Plan set in motion by Darth Bane a millennia earlier. That's underselling it.
