But the hyperspace disaster is just the beginning, as a deadly threat lurks in the darkness beyond the Republic’s borders. This sinister danger is far more dangerous than the Jedi realize, and its secret could strike fear even into their hearts.

Star Wars | Brotherhood

Star Wars – Brotherhood

Join Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on an epic adventure as they navigate the dangerous and tumultuous Clone Wars. Set just after the events of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, this thrilling tale follows the two Jedi Knights as they race to stem the tide of battle and forge a stronger bond than ever before.

With the Separatists gaining ground and every new world that joins their cause, the Jedi Order’s peacekeeping efforts are slipping through their fingers. When an explosion rocks the Trade Federation’s prized possession, Cato Neimoidia, the Republic is immediately blamed, and the planet’s delicate neutrality is thrown into jeopardy.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the Order’s most brilliant diplomats, is dispatched to investigate the crime and restore the balance that has begun to dangerously shift. But as he delves deeper into the investigation with the help of a valiant Neimoidian guard, he discovers a sinister plot to draw the planet into the Separatists’ deadly conspiracy.

Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker, now a Jedi Knight in his own right, is determined to help his former master, despite the mandate that Obi-Wan travel alone. With a promising but conflicted youngling in tow, Anakin crashes the party and brings his own brand of headstrong determination to the mission.

As the two knights navigate the brewing chaos and work to save Cato Neimoidia and its people from the fires of war, they must learn to work together as equals, growing beyond the master and apprentice relationship of the past. But with lingering friction between them, the danger only increases, and they must stand together as brothers to overcome the threat they face.

Named ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR by USA Today, this thrilling tale of Jedi heroism and brotherhood is not to be missed.

To escape the clutches of the First Order, Vi must seek out the good-hearted heroes hiding on Batuu, a world that’s practically synonymous with scum and villainy. With the help of a traitorous trooper and her quick-witted droid, she begins to gather a ragtag group of outcasts and misfits. Together, they embark on a daring mission to ignite the flames of resistance on Batuu, before the First Order extinguishes them forever. So come on, join the adventure and experience the thrill of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
