This first fictional journey takes us to a galaxy far, far way, with Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott. I’m old enough to have seen the original film the year it came out, and while I’ve enjoyed the Star Wars franchise through the years, I’ve never considered myself to be a superfan, like so many of you out there. I read this book a couple months ago, based on a recommendation from my son, and if it hadn’t been for several ongoing Star Wars animated series, I probably would have told him thanks, but no thanks. By the way, for those of you who want to know, the shows that influenced me to learn more about Star Wars, and specifically Count Dooku, are Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. Thanks to Disney+, I was able to watch them (The Mandalorian helped convince me to dig deeper and watch these shows).
Dooku: Jedi Lost is written more like a screenplay, or teleplay, and is a fast, exciting story that I recommend to anyone who enjoys Star Wars. And because of some of the characters involved, my advice is to watch the aforementioned shows first. They establish who some of the characters are in the book, and also allow you to better picture them in your mind’s eye while reading. I haven’t read much Star Wars fiction over the years, but I’m now more open to it than I’ve ever been.
