Book Review: Dooku: Lost Jedi by Scott Cavan

Dooku: Lost Jedi
by Scott Cavan

Dooku: Lost Jedi is an interesting book in that it appears never to have been intended to be a book. It appears the origins of Count Dooku were only meant to be a script for a digital audiobook. Thus, what we get is the script for the audiobook instead of a novelization. It turns out to be a pretty good story, but its script format makes the story choppy and clunky. I found it tricky to keep track of the characters and why each of them were important. I imagine hearing different voices for each character would have made that easier. Still, its an interesting story and a fun peak into the origins of an iconic Star Wars villain. It’s definitely worth a read or a listen.
