Time between Jedi Trial and Labrynth of Evil

How many months is between Jedi Trial and Labrynth of Evil?

I'm going to buy Dark Lord sometime after it comes out however before I do so, I'm going to go back and read Labrynth of Evil and Revenge of the Sith. Perhaps I would buy and read Jedi Trial to, considering that it could be seen as a lead into Labrynth of Evil.

So....whats the time spand between each book so that I'll have a general idea of this while reading it?

 

So I take it that there is 5 months between Jedi Trial and Labyrinth of Evil. Makes sense, and I guess that I'll be reading Jedi Trial first, then LoE, then ROTS, then Dark Lord.

Damn, I got a lot of reading to do....

I'll have my own Quadrilogy going on.

 

when Obi Wan and Anakin are in their starfighters at the end of LOE there on there way to the space battle at the begining of Revenge.

 

Don't omit Dark Rendezvous from that sequence, though...in fact, I'd advise skipping Jedi Trial altogether in favor of Stewart's book if you're utterly time-pressed and have to cherry-pick.

 

By all that's good and holy, do not read Jedi Trial!

 

I agree... find a summary posting of Jedi Trialand put it aside, unless you're having difficulty sleeping.

 

Jedi Trial's not that bad, it all depends on whether or not you are a fan of military science fiction. If you can't stand military sci-fi and find it either very boring or mundane then do stay away from JT, but if you're like me and you get a kick out of military sci-fi and are into the SW universe a lot then give JT a chance.

 

An author (or authors) being able to accurately describe a military formation or order of battle means nothing if their characters are useless and the plot is . . . well, the worst thing I can say about the book is that I honestly can't remember what the plot was.

DR is a good read because of great character development. But it's a catch 22 because you'll care so much about the characters you'll wish you knew what happen to them during ROTS, but it's only glossed over in some Databank entry somewhere.

The characters weren't great, but they weren't useless. They were well rounded, albeit too plain. Th plot was simple, the Seppies want to take over a planet, the Republic doesn't want them to because of the valuable communications relay that is housed there, it wasn't that hard to digest.

 

This book was a waste of character use, IMO

They shoulda given it to Stackpole. The reason I picked up this book was so that I could get some insite into Nejaa Halcyon. Instead I was completely let down by a duo of authors who had obviously never read anything about or bothered to research Corran's gramps.

Jedi Trial was a riot... but I agree, not enough Nejaa. In fact, he was more aggrivating than anything else. He didn't do anything.

 

You know, Lord Draco, Jedi Trial is not very good. Read it if you want, but it's not necessary. Dark Rendezvous is fantastic, up there with "Shatterpoint" in terms of CW novels, IMHO. But if it's Obi-Wan and Anakin you want to focus on I would read DH's "Dreadnaughts of Rendilli" (Republic # 69-71, Clone Wars vol. 6) and "Obsession" (Obsession # 1-5, CW vol. 7) story arcs if you haven't already rather than spend so much time on "Jedi Trial." Both take place after "Jedi Trial," ie after Anakin's knighting but during the months between "Trial" and "Labyrinth of Evil." Not to mention the incredible "Battle of Jabiim" (Republic # 55-58, CW vol. 3) story arc (which takes place 15 months before "Jedi Trial"). Priceless material. I wouldn't exchange it, or the Quinlan Vos Clone Wars material, for anything in the EU.

 

Not to mention that it completely blew an amazing opportunity to actually show us the trials of Knighthood once and for all, and to do some very good in-depth character development on Anakin.

Instead we got Odie and Erk, who, while not the worst characters in EU history, came close.

And we also got the worst written dialogue in the history of the entire EU, without question. I remember thinking, "You've got to be kidding. This is a dream, right?" when I read the first chapter. And, "It's going to get better, right?" No on all counts, unfortunately.

The only reasons I picked up the book were to get some more info on Nejaa and to get some good development on Anakin.

Dark Rendezvous had more development of Anakin's character than Jedi Trial did.

Wait, wasn't DR about Yoda?

...



Yeah, don't get me started on JT. I could go for hours. Probably days if not weeks, in fact. I've seen plenty of unpublished authors who write much better in every way than they did. I don't blame them, but they got the wrong assignment. They should have been writing an OOU article on military tactics and issues in the Clone Wars.

Time between Jedi Trial and Labrynth of Evil

About 5 months

 

padme ages differently because shes from naboo not tattwoine

 

MGK, not only is your spelling of Tatooine is atrocious, but I think you may have mis-posted.

 

vong killah wth stop d-raleing my forums

 

MGK, what precisely are you talking about? He hasn't "d-raled" any forums. These aren't your forums. I haven't a clue what "d-raleing" is. I believe the word you're looking for is derail, and a little more coherence would speak well of you.

And what you posted had absolutely no relevancy to the ongoing topic of discussion. So your response to him was, to say the least, confusing, and possibly quite out of line...

Obsession also had some good Anakin/Obi-wan material, for anyone who's interested in seeing that development. And the real clincher, IMO, was Labyrinth of Evil, which really had them together as Anakin and Obi-wan, the unbeatable team. It was a lot of fun to see that - and it really set up the tragedy of Episode III quite nicely.
