Synopsis

MASTER AND APPRENTICE

The Force is strong in twelve-year-old Anakin Skywalker . . . so strong that the Jedi Council, despite misgivings, entrusted young Obi-Wan Kenobi with the mission of training him to become a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan—like his slain Master Qui-Gon—believes Anakin may be the chosen one, the Jedi destined to bring balance to the Force. But first Obi-Wan must help his undisciplined apprentice, who still bears the scars of slavery, find his own balance.

Dispatched to the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot, source of the fastest ships in the galaxy, Obi-Wan and Anakin are swept up in a swirl of deadly intrigue and betrayal. They sense a disturbance in the Force unlike any they have encountered before. It seems there are more secrets on Zonama Sekot than meet the eye. But the search for those secrets will threaten the bond between Obi-Wan and Anakin . . . and bring the troubled young apprentice face-to-face with his deepest fears—and his darkest destiny.

Goodreads review by Jerry on March 11, 2022

Definitely not the best the Expanded Universe has to offer. A dull plot, too much wasted space, elements that feel out of place in Star Wars...yeah, readers can do much better.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on November 10, 2024

Rogue Planet was not very high on my priority reading list, but the events of this book was heavily referenced in books I have read that are way later in the Timeline and a certain Planet also shows up. So I decided why not? And it was ok. I enjoyed reading about the early days of the Anakin/Obi-Wan......more

Goodreads review by Caleb Likes Books on May 05, 2023

This was a pleasant surprise. This is one of those Legends books that I’d heard very little about, so I assumed it would be pretty forgettable—however, I quite enjoyed it. The thing that really pulled me in with this book was Anakin and Obi-Wan’s relationship. Rogue Planet takes place between The Ph......more

"You have never lied to others. But even worse is to lie to oneself." This was mostly fine. I just don't feel like much happened, and things got jumbled and confusing really quickly. I'm not really sure what everyone was after, and the ending didn't really feel like it wrapped anything up.......more
