Attachment is forbidden, but it is a temptation that runs through several generations of Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi struggled with his emotions as a young man, as he denied himself his feelings for fellow Padawan Siri Tachi. His mentor, Qui-Gon Jinn, knew full well the dangers of such feelings, and instructed his pupil on how to concentrate on the tasks at hand.

Years later, Obi-Wan's apprentice finds himself similarly torn. Anakin Skywalker is secretly married to Padmé Amidala, but as the Clone Wars rage on, he and Kenobi have pressing missions to attend to. One such duty sees Obi-Wan, Anakin and Siri drawn into a race to acquire a valuable piece of technology before it falls into the wrong hands.

This story is told in Star Wars: Secrets of the Jedi, a new novel by Jude Watson for Scholastic, Inc. In the tradition of Legacy of the Jedi, this book spans generations of Jedi, telling a tale that is both epic and personal.

This hardcover novel is scheduled for release in March, 2004.
