I actually really liked seeing how Obi-Wan's understanding has grown over the series. Watson kind of hit us over the head with it but it was still touching. And Qui-Gon not being able to imagine Obi-Wan as a Knight or Master had me all emo
This one was sad to me. There is a good bit where Qui-Gon is almost agonizing over the fact that Obi-Wan is growing and that he will one day soon have to let him go. It gave me feels at his thoughts of despair at the prospect. He wants to be selfish and keep Obi with him always. And the fact that he wantes them to continue being a team after Obi-Wan is knighted spoke volumes of the love he has for his Padawan. But when he cannot see Obi-Wan as a knight I about keeled over. It breaks my heart that he never will see Obi-Wan knighted. Well I'm sure he does while he is at one with the force, but he never gets to share the moment with him or tell him of his pride.

The story about the planet was a sad one. Old ones being out out to pasture, show more the middle-aged bwing only concerned with work and productivity, and the yiung ones not bwing allowed to be young is sad. No wonder the freelies formed and pulled all those pranks! I just wish I knew what possessed Tray to convince Flip to escalate things to violence. It was foolish and was clearly proven to be an epically bad idea. Sadly at the expense of innocent lives. This was a good story and it would have played well if they had ever turned Jedi Apprentice into a television series. show less
Cuando Obi-Wan Kenibi empezó a ser aprendiz de Qui-Gon Jinn era sólo un niño. Ahora, a punto de convertirse en un adulto, está empezando a recorrer el camino que lo convertirá en un Caballero Jedi... y en el dueño de su propio destino. Mientras Obi-Wan y Qui-Gon investigan una extraña ola de sabotajes en dos planetas vecinos, se dan cuenta que su relación esta cambiando, y a veces en un sentido peligroso. Y cuando la situación se vuelve arriesgada y mortífera... quizá sus vidas nunca vuelvan a ser las mismas...
