12 Star Wars Graphic Novels You Must Read Before You Die
11. Children Of The Force
The multilayered subject of how the Jedi take Force-sensitive children from their families and indoctrinate them into the Jedi Order is finally put under the microscope in this intriguing short from Star Wars Tales.
Inside a Jedi Temple nursery, Depa Billaba struggles with questions about her own parents as Mace Windu tries to ease her concerns, but the entire process is put on trial when a Zeltron intruder seizes one of the children and has a physical (and verbal) throwdown with the famous Jedi badass.
This is a topic that rarely comes up in any of the actual Star Wars stories, so it's impressive how many sides of the debate are presented in a few short pages. Jedi training, unresolved feelings and connections with family, and even the idea of a black market for Force-sensitive children are all bandied about before Mace and the Zeltron reach an unexpected resolution.
