Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dooku: Jedi Lost is a phenomenal listening experience for anyone who considers themselves to be a Star Wars fan.
Currently, though not for long, the first piece of the Canon timeline, this quick audiobook essentially tells the origin story for Count Dooku.
Many of us think of Dooku only as the Dark Lord of the Sith, but he was once a powerful Jedi who eventually succumbed to the pull of the dark side.
The narrative is actually set up as following his Sith Apprentice, Asajj Ventress, who yearning to know more about her mysterious master, delves into his past to discover what made him the man he has become.
The timeline then follows him through different formative moments in his life.
I loved getting a glimpse into his past, from being abandoned by his father prior to his acceptance to the Jedi Temple, to his relationships with his sister and Jedi contemporary Sifo-Dyas, to his selection and training by Master Yoda.
There’s no denying Dooku was an extremely motivated and strong-willed young man. The force was strong with him, but I could definitely see his side as to why he became disgruntled with the Jedi Council.
This production is absolutely incredible. The full cast, the sound effects and musical score all contribute to bringing this story to life.
Absolutely recommend!!!
