Well, that's what I tend to think, but I'm disappointed enough by the supposed adult books, much less young adult books, that I've tried (usually unsuccessfully) to become less picky . . .
*Lol!* Now there's an idea! Peter and co. and the JA crew.
And your friend's right - those books have lots of generational conflict in those books, lots of Qui-Gon not understanding Obi-Wan and not trusting him while Obi-Wan empathizes with the locals and actually tries to accomplish the missions, lots of Obi-Wan saving Qui-Gon's butt and getting little notice for it, and lots of repetitive "forbidden/unrealised love" motifs over and over and bloody well over again.
Hold up - I was under the impression that Chankar Kim wasn't her official Master, just a mentor, because she old enough to be chosen yet. I thought the reason that Yoda had to trick Jai Maruk into taking her on as a Padawan was because she was of age and hadn't been chosen by anyone yet. I could swear that's what is says in the book . . . Drat, now I'm going to have to hunt the blasted thing up and look . . . *Sighs and goes to find book*
