While I didn't like all the voices that went will the roles, it was definitely an interesting look at some of the backstory to Count Dooku, and how he left the Jedi Order. At first, I didn't think I was going to like that it was from Ventress's point of view, but I ended up doing so. This doesn't go into how he turned to the dark side beyond brief flashes here and there (a future one of these or a book, perhaps?) but that was fine - the title is Jedi Lost after all, and it's how he became one of...

Dooku: Jedi Lost is a phenomenal listening experience for any Star Wars fan. You know who you are!!One of the first pieces of the Disney Canon timeline, this quick audiobook essentially tells the origin story for Count Dooku.Many of us only think of Dooku 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 actually begins with his Sith Apprentice, Asajj Ventress, who yearning to learn more about her mysterious master,...

The Dark Side of the Force is strong in this book! THE COUNT OF SERENNO This book is the written script for this story that it was initially presented as audiobook. I am quite glad that they decided to print a readable version of it.Count Dooku is one of the most complex characters made, but sometimes people don't appreciate or understand his relevance in the Star Wars universe since his time on screen on the movie episodes was limited, but if you have watched the animated Clone Wars serie

A great book. I was a little worried as it is re screenplay version of an audio book. However with all the "narration" scenes. It gave just as much insight into what the characters were thinking. This is the prequel to the Master & Apprentice some of the passages on this book fit in perfectly with the Qui Gon and Dooku, or the parts with Real.I am not a fan of the watered down more politically motivated Jedi of the Disney era of Star Wars. So this made me empathise with Dooku's disillusionment w...

First of all, this is not a book, so let's get that out of the way immediately.This is an "audio drama," six hours long, performed by a full cast. I have to state upfront that I loathe this medium, and so you should take my review and rating with a HUGE grain of salt if you're someone who likes audiobooks or audio shows. I am no judge of voice acting, so I will say only one single thing on that score: the Ventress voice was nearly perfect.Aside from the inherent grating, campy weirdness of liste...

"I sense the Dark Side!"Dooku: Jedi Lost is unlike anything else that has been released with regards to Star Wars. Among the slew of new canon books, comics, art books.. Del Rey and Penguin Random House Audio created this audio-only release written by Cavan Scott. It's a combination of an audiobook and an audio dramatization that features a full cast. As Scott has said on Twitter, it's like a movie for your ears!Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of audiobooks. I find it difficult to concentra...

3.5 starsThis novel has been adapted from the audiobook that was originally released. They kept this story in script format from the audiobook and I really liked how it made the story different to read. Even though I typically do not read novels that are laid out in a script format, it was unique, refreshing, and really captured the emotions that each of the characters felt. I love a good villain origin story and this one did not disappoint. It really gave you the background and life of Dooku th...

I am reviewing the full cast audio production of this book (which also is just a screenplay of this audiobook, so be aware of you plan on reading a physical copy or ebook).This. Was. Awesome.I am relatively new to StarWars, never was a big fan of the movies, I didn't grew up with it. They were okay, but I never fully understood what was going on.So a few years back I decided to do the novelizations on audible because I thought this a bit more background and detail description of who is who and w...

The dialog is empty, the plot consists of an unfocused collection of minor/ unremarkable events that involve Dooku without explaining his transformation; the book’s basic promise and goal delivers abject failure, provided the fact that the author gives you no window into dooku’s thoughts, emotions, motives, and argued reasons for abandoning the order and becoming a dark lord of the sith. Furthermore, the story omits any interaction with sith/dark side philosophy, artifacts or figures; delving in...

Dooku: Jedi Lost is an audio drama script by Scott Cavan that follows Count Dooku from childhood through his leaving the Jedi Order and taking up the mantle (or cape) of leadership on his home world of Serenno. My preference would have been to listen to the audio version, as it was intended to be experienced; but I’m at the mercy of the public library, and what they added to the collection is the hardcover script, not the audio.Having read the book, however, I think it might be the clearer optio...

Well, this was certainly interesting: a script for an audio drama that details the rise and ultimate fall of one Count Dooku. Conceptually alone, I couldn’t resist giving this one at least a peek, and I’m so glad I did: “Dooku: Jedi Lost” rocks.There’s two things that writer Cavan Scott does that makes “Dooku: Jedi Lost” work as well as it does. The first might seem obvious, but it’s crucial: he tells a really, really good story. Jumping across all periods of time and interlinking various charac...

Since 2002, Count Dooku has been somewhat of an enigma, with very little backstory revealed. We know that Yoda was his master and that he trained Qui-Gon Jinn. And some of his motives and how he fell to the dark side have not always been as clear as they could have been. So when this audio drama Star Wars: Dooku: Jedi Lost was announced, I got pretty excited that we would get more backstory for him in canon. Clocking in at 6 hours and 21 minutes, Cavan Scott's story provides glimpses at various

Actual rating is 2.5 stars.This is an audiobook set in a galaxy far, far away. In this one, we explore Dooku as a member of the Jedi Academy. This book covers his whole time being a padawan to Jedi Knight and on this journey we see how Dooku loses his faith in the Jedi way.There were aspects I absolutely loved about this book and some I did not. First off the production is excellent as we get different actors for each role. We also get sound affects and throughout the production snippets of John...

Ever wanted to know more about THIS GUY?Dooku of Serenno. The Man, the Sith, the Legend.Well, this delightful full cast audiodrama will take you more than halfway there. It could easily be subtitled "One Man's Long Journey into Becoming a Completely Disillusioned Knight" as the story using the framing device of a mission assigned to cynical assassin Asajj Ventress to delve deep into the Separatist Leader's formative years and initially stellar career working as a proud member of the Jedi Order.V...

Hello there! It's been to long since I've done another review. For those of you who may be wondering what the heck has happened with my New Jedi Order reading, yes, I'm still working on my first time reading of that series. I'm still trying to read Balance Point, and I guarantee all of you in my tiny audience that I have on this platform that I do intend to see it through, then review it, and then eventually continue onwards to Conquest (Edge of Victory, #1). But ever since I moved out of my par...

4.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2019/05/13/...Star Wars audiobooks are always a treat to listen to, but audio dramas are on a whole other level. Performed by a full cast and available only as an audiobook, Star Wars: Dooku: Jedi Lost is an immersive experience that puts your right in the middle of the action and makes you feel like you are in a Star Wars movie, watching all the events and action play out around you.Since the release of the prequels and the character...

3.5“Live alongside corruption for too long, and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine, but they can help the slavemasters.”...Dooku: Jedi Lost is a welcome addition to the Star Wars universe, and an astounding audiobook listening experience! Truly, the production value was stellar. In this story, we're following two perspectives: Ventress, as she partakes in a mission under her new master, Count Dooku - otherwise known as the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. We als...

Jedi Lost is the first canon Star Wars audioplay performed by a full cast. The (at the moment) audio-only story has an interesting approach but lacks clarity. While the story itself is intriguing, exciting even, I wish there was more focus. We get a skip through Dooku's life and his background while the subtleties of his very unique character were what interested me more. Characters like Yoda, Rael and Qui-Gon came a little too short in my opinion. However, Syfo-Dias and Lene Kostana (is that ho...

This is the fastest book I have ever read. I finished this book with 700 pages in five hours. Through the perspective of Venturous, a Sith assassin, with problems with voices in her head, skims through all the recordings of Former Jedi master, Count Dooku's life. Starting at the age of nine or so and meeting his sister at an event on his homeward of Sereno, the leader of an Outerim clan. Dooku was taken from so many years before. When he came back he caused a lot of trouble, and upsetting his bi...
