With less than a week to go until Star Wars Celebration, we may have thought that we had reached our limit on pre-festival surprises, but how wrong we were!

This morning, Star Wars fans around the globe were surprised with an exclusive excerpt from Claudia Gray’s HIGHLY anticipated Master & Apprentice over on StarWars.com! The passage follows a young Qui-Gon Jinn, still the Padawan of Master Dooku (how crazy that is to read), as he follows the trail of a Falleen bounty hunter on Numidian Prime.

The selected text (or an audiobook sample) can be read (or listened to) here and already has our minds buzzing with questions!

These questions incorporate details from the excerpt, so head on over to StarWars.com with the link above before continuing on.

  • ‍Is Shenda Mol at all involved with Black Sun?
  • Does this mark the first time that Dooku has used Force Lightning in front of his apprentice?
  • Is it the last?
  • Will we get more flashbacks like this -- or is this even a flashback at all??

These questions and more will be answered with the official release of Master & Apprentice on April 16th, and if you’re going to be at Star Wars Celebration next week, make sure not to miss out on the exclusive cover that will be available only in Chicago! More details here.

For more information about Master & Apprentice, including our full review and round table later in the month, stay tuned to Youtini!
