    Star Wars - The Clone Wars - Wild Space

    I got a book from Audible ... Star Wars - The Clone Wars - Wild Space (by Karen Miller).
    Nothing too extraordinary, just another story involving Jedi, Sith, Senators, during the clone wars.

    But I came across a very nice part of the book, which either the author is smart enough to understand the Star Wars mythos or she just inadvertently did something which created a nice piece.

    Fieldwork first. Bail Organa, Leia Organa's adoptive father, seemed to gain step ups in fame during the Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. In fact the Jedi end up actually giving him one of the twins - baby Leia. He has been in and out of the prequel trilogy, but still how he became such an integral part where Jedi, the way Obi-Wan and Yoda trusted him so much, always evaded me. And that is where this book comes in handy. I have read (rather heard) of Bail's exploits in other books, but I think this is the book which actually shows how he becomes a trustworthy partner of the Jedi.

    The incident in the book involves Bail getting an intelligence that Sith are planning something on some planet (I forget the name of the planet). Bail informs Ben Kenobi who finds that the planet ... does not exist. Bail's source will not talk to anyone else and he needs a Jedi (Ben) for the mission, so in a very wonderfully written scene, the two end up going on a mission.

    But that's where the fun begins. Two very powerful charterers from the Star Wars universe - one the Jedi master and other one of the honest senators from Alderaan. They are stuck together for the duration of the mission. They mistrust each other (rather never have had reasons to trust one another). Stuck on a small plane, and hopping from one place to another over days, they are seen constantly bickering to respecting to trusting each other over the course of journey. This part is very well written, and the interaction between them is amazingly described. How they do not know each other to the point where they got to work together. The conversation is the highlight of this whole section. It also bridges part of the gap between how Bail from being a Senator from Alderaan became trustworthy partner of the Jedi that eventually leads to him becoming the father of Princess Leia.

    An ordinary book with an extra ordinary section.
    "Senator Organa"
    "Yes, master"
    "Rise"

    Must read for everyone.
