The exciting tale begun in Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force continues in Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival. While thankful for Obi-Wan's life-saving help on the trip to Bandomeer, Qui-Gon must put aside his mixed feelings over the young apprentice and take care of his peace mission. But he soon finds out that he's been tricked--not only did the planet's government not call for him, but the request may have come from his former-apprentice-gone-to-the-dark-side, the sinister Xanatos. Qui-Gon stays on Bandomeer to help rival mining companies there negotiate and to find out more about his fallen Padawan. Obi-Wan, of course, pitches in again, and the bond between the two grows. A few explosions, a couple of lightsaber fights, and a prison break later, the two ... well, you'll have to find out for yourself. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes

 Story fails compaired to other books in the series. August 6, 2008
I have read most of the books in this series and looking back on this one makes me mad. First, the story is terrible compaired to later books in the series. It didn't interest me and wasn't nessesary to the upcoming books. Also, she made Xanatos look like a not to bad villian, which he's not. I think that this book could be skipped and you could go to 3 immediatly where things start to get better.
The Dark Rival, Jedi Apprentice book 2 June 17, 2008
Truly exciting and fast-paced, The Dark Rival is a fantastic read! This is Jude Watson's first try in the Jedi Apprentice series and what a marvelous job she's done! And finaly Obi-wan is made Qui-Gon padawan (anyway we all knew that).
Can't wait to read the next book.

This was one of the first Jedi Apprentice books i read and i loved it! In this book Qui-Gon actually starts to realize that he's kept Obi-Wan in the dark and that he should have explained more about his old apprentice Xanatos. Also there's this part where Qui-Gon is going to rescue Obi-Wan and starts to notice how much Obi-Wan deserves to be a jedi. this book is very emotional and gratifying, i wish Jude Watson would write more!

Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
