Also published as Comic Book series
Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from Tales of the Jedi comic series:
  • Issues 1 & 2: Ulic Qel-Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon
    Journey back four thousand years and learn of the time when the Jedi Knights were the most powerful, most respected force in the galaxy. A time when many worlds and civilizations fell to the Dark Side of the Force, and the only hope of millions of innocent beings were the legion of Jedi sworn to protect them. A time of great adventure, and greater danger!
    Sent on a deadly training mission to a planet overrun with gigantic beasts, the young Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma must settle a war that has raged for centuries without losing his cool or his head!
  • Issues 3, 4 & 5: The Saga of Nomi Sunrider
    The path to becoming a Jedi can take many routes, and in the case of Nomi Sunrider, it is a path of anguish, despair, and danger. When Andur, the father of her child and a Jedi in training, is murdered in front of her eyes, Nomi has no choice but to take up her beloved's lightsaber and defend herself! Join Nomi as she begins to walk the path of the Jedi herself, and begins her search for the mysterious Master Thon.
    Nomi's wish to raise her daughter in a peaceful world is shattered by her true destiny: to become a great and powerful Jedi, whose latent Force power surprises even her mentor, the enigmatic Master Thon.
    Meanwhile, the crimelord responsible for her husband's death, Bogga the Hutt, plots to steal Nomi's Adegan Crystals, the precious gems used in creating lightsabers, and the final gift of her departed mate!
    Deep within Nomi Sunrider is a great Force-power, a power unlike that of her fellow novice Jedi. Still unwilling to take the seemingly violent path of a Jedi in training, Nomi has supressed her remarkable abilities. Until now! Bogga the Hutt, with the aid of intergalactic marauders, has destroyed what is left of Nomi's former life. If she does not take up a lightsaber and strike her enemies down, both she and her only child, Vima, will die!
