To be fair, I read the old Jedi Academy series (the ones with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and the ones with Anakin and Obi-Wan) and enjoyed them as silly guilty pleasures.
There’s a new Jedi Academy (Or is it Jedi Apprentice…) comic series out that feels in the same vein as the old books, and it’s actually pretty good as well.
