Jude Watson Discussion Thread

I agree I could definitely tell, when I went back and looked at the Jedi Apprentice books, that they liked each other, even in their initial meeting in The Captive Temple(they were both blushing, hahahaha XD)

yes i love that book the captive temple siri definitly knows how to pull off that tough don't mess with me kinda attitude but it couldn't last for long lol

Oh yes, that's why I like her so much; she's an awesome fighter and definitely a very tough, strong person but she can have emotions as well which I like

exactly

Which books did you like Siri the best in?

ooh good question i really liked her in all the movies i liked seeing her and obiwan when they were older and both masters like changing of the guard they were hilarious togehter i really liked her in that one and of course secrets of the jedi

I also liked her in captive temple and the fight for truth and i am sure i am forgetting a ton but thats all i can think of now

what about you?

Awesome choices! I loved her the best in Secrets of the Jedi but I also really liked her in the Jedi Quest series and the Jedi Apprentice series. I loved how she interacted with him when they were younger and when they were older and compare the two. It's interesting that in Jedi Quest you can tell that there is something there between them which I really like

exactly its like a friendship that grew closer and closer and didn't drift away i also like it because even though they are older they still enjoy giving each other a hard time like they did as padawans

I agree When they are together, they sometimes go back to acting sort of like they did when they were young. I loved how the interacted in The Changing of the Guard, it was great! XD

exactly especially when they were changing i loved how obiwan was able to tease siri and it was a really sweet fun and light moment i loved it

oh and since this is Jude watson's topic i guess i should post this here i know i was talking about it to may kenobi is another topic but i finally got the first two Last of the Jedi books and started reading the first soo excited

I agree, I love that they had some light, sweet moments in their tragic relationship(wow, can't believe I said that. My younger self would be disgusted LOL XD)

AWESOME!!! Hope you enjoy them, they are SO GOOD! Can't wait to hear what you think of them.

lol they did have a tragic relationship though but a sweet one too short though i really wish siri didn't die :(

and thanks i can't wait to read them

Me too :( I remember when my sister told me she'd died, I yelled "What?!!" really loudly. we both weren't happy about it at all :(. That's why I wrote their reunion in my fanfiction A Flower Quickly Fading; I wanted them to have them be happy together

You're welcome

ooh must go check out your fanfic sounds amazing

Thank you! It's all about Obi-Wan after his death. It was definitely the fanfiction I spend the most time working on. Hope you like it

I got two Jedi Apprentice books for my birthday - "The Deadly Hunter" and "The Call to Vengeance". I'm getting really close to owning all of them!!

This happened a while back but, I now own the entire Jedi Apprentice series!!

I'm going to try and revive this thread (as well as the entire Expanded Universe section; I really want to talk EU stuff! ).

I've been in the mood to talk Star Wars EU stuff since I haven't had a good discussion about the awesomeness of it for about a year. 

So, let's go!

Yeah! Lets talk EU!

read any good EU books lately? I want to read Kenobi!

I recently read "The Force Unleashed"; it was interesting, and I liked how Juno was written, but it definitely wasn't the best.
I want to read Kenobi too, but I'm a bit hesitant about some things that might be in it...

Like what? :O

Nothing inappropriate, there is just the possibility of *another* love interest

I LOVE Jude Watson! She's amazing! Her characterization, like many of you were saying (at least at the beginning of this thread) is so phenomenal! That's when I fell in love with the Qui-Gon character. And there's SO much more depth in Obi-Wan and I love getting to further understand Anakin's path. He didn't turn to the dark side in a day, and I think she filled in the gaps for us amazingly! I want to be like her. Has any other author so seamlessly woven her work into the fabric of our Star Wars knowledge? Who would those characters be without her? What would our knowledge of the Jedi Temple be like without her?

My favorite series was the Jedi Apprentice series. Loved Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship. So brilliant. And Qui-Gon's character in general. I love how he's such a dedicated and amazing Jedi, but he sort of serves something higher than the Jedi Council's specific rules. He's not the perfect Jedi in the way Obi-Wan sort of is in RotS, but he's willing to follow instinct and break a rule or two if he has to, but only in circumstances he can't ignore. I remember when he spoke to Obi-Wan about Siri he said something about how the rules for marriage might change in the future, but cautioned Obi-Wan to simply deal with the rules they have now. Maybe that's the key difference between Qui-Gon and Anakin - Anakin would have bucked it. Did buck it. Qui-Gon was less impulsive. He's like a mature Anakin, something Anakin never became but could have. He's sort of between Anakin and Obi-Wan in this sense. He's the middle guy.

Anyway. I LOVE Jude Watson. Wish she'd write more!

I totally agree!! Jude Watson definitely have some of the best characterizations of my favorite characters ever! I especially loved her Obi-Wan(he was the version I ended up getting a crush on when I was thirteen). And, if I had read the Jedi Apprentice books before watching TPM, I definitely would have cried.
And I definitely agree on your compare and contrast with Anakin and Qui-Gon- it's definitely very true.
