3	An eleven-book series by Creator/JudeWatson published from 2001-2004, ''Jedi Quest'' takes place in the Franchise/StarWarsLegends continuity, and is a SpiritualSuccessor of sorts to Watson's previous ''Literature/JediApprentice'' series. The books deal with the developing relationship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker during the time between ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and details many of their missions. Like its predecessor it was aimed at a largely tween audience.

21	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From ''The False Peace'':
22	-->Obi-Wan was grateful to his friend Siri. She had pledged to help him bring Omega to justice, and so far she had traveled halfway around the galaxy, fought an army, and worn a dress in order to do it.
23	* AvengingTheVillain: Granta Omega wants revenge for his father, Xanatos, whose suicide he blames on Obi-Wan and his late master, Qui-Gon Jinn.
24	* BigBadDuumvirate: Granta Omega and [[MadScientist Jenna Zan Arbor]] form one towards the end of the series. See the ''Literature/JediApprentice'' page for more on her.
25	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Omega, who inherited Xanatos' controlling interest in Offworld, an immensely crooked intergalactic mining firm.
26	%%* DiabolicalMastermind: Omega.
27	* FishOutOfWater: Anakin when he has to go undercover at a regular school in one book.
28	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The idea of voids, beings who can conceal their Dark Side presence from Jedi. Setup as well as justification for [[DevilInPlainSight Palpatine]].
29	* IcyBlueEyes: Omega has the same cold blue eyes as his father, Xanatos.
30	* MalignedMixedMarriage: One book has bounty hunters Floria and Dane mention that there parents came from rival neighboring clans and were shunned over their marriage, and eventually murdered for it when Floria and Dane were young children.
31	%%* ManipulativeBastard: Omega. Must be in his VillainousLineage.
32	* TheNondescript: BigBad Granta Omega is a "Force Blank", a being with no connection to the Force whatsoever. As a result he blends right in, is typically forgotten by people after he leaves, and is all but immune to a Jedi's SpiderSense.
33	%%* {{Planetville}}
34	* RevengeByProxy: Anakin had nothing to do with Xanatos' death, but that doesn't stop Omega from targeting him and several of his friends, simply due to their connection with Obi-Wan.
35	%%* {{Rival}}: Ferus to Anakin.
36	* SequelSeries: To ''Literature/JediApprentice''.
37	* SetSwordsToStun: {{Justified\|Trope}}: like its predecessor ''Jedi Apprentice'', Jedi younglings and Padawans use less-lethal training sabers supplied by the Jedi Temple until they're able to build their first adult lightsaber of their own. Though note carefully they're only ''less'' lethal than proper lightsabers: Anakin is still able to kill a beastie that attacks him and Obi-Wan with his training saber in ''The Path to Truth'', it just takes more effort (Anakin has to AttackItsWeakPoint).
38	* YouKilledMyFather: Granta Omega holds Obi-Wan responsible for Xanatos' death, even though the latter committed suicide.
