Review:
When Qui-Gon survives the events on Naboo, he and the newly knighted Obi-Wan are separated, until a personal letter Obi-Wan wrote but never intended to send “accidentally” finds its way into his former master's hands.

When it comes to the Star Wars fandoms, most authors tend to feel that you need to 'go big or go home' and The Letters Universe is a prime example of just how 'big' that can be. Beginning almost a year after the events on Naboo with Obi-Wan fully knighted and stationed far out in Rim Space, well away from Qui-Gon, who has (finally) accepted a position on the Jedi Council, and very much alone in a sea of non-Jedi, the first arc in the universe is a lovely look into what can happen when a nosy communication ensign takes an interest in some private (and revealing) correspondence.

I’ve always loved stories that focus on one character finding out another is in love with them, whether by accident or design, and this one builds an entire epic universe on that premise; though, to be fair, TLU is much, much more than that. With a backdrop of war playing out around them, Lori and Wolfling do a good job of exploring Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s relationship without forgetting that they both have duties that can and will outreach their own wants and desires. While I admit that with any series of this size there are some issues, they aren’t overpowering and the relationship and action definitely outshine them in the end.
