Set shortly after Star Wars: Episode I, Emissaries to Malastare has several members of the Jedi council mediating a peace settlement on the neutral world of Malastare between the Prince of Lannik and the Red Iaro terrorist organization (who has been vying for the throne of Lannik for years). Something is amiss, though, and some at the negotiation table aren't who they seem. Can the Jedi keep the peace?
Regrettably, this was another lackluster Star Wars story. The best parts were the brief scenes featuring three very cool Expanded Universe characters- the tusken Jedi A'Sharad Hett, the mysterious Dark Woman, and Quinlan Vos. Those scenes aside, the dialogue is cheesy, the story 'blah,' and the ending(s) unsatisfying (strangely, about two-thirds of the way through, the story veers onto another course entirely, and seems more like two below-average stories pasted together, neither of which is acceptably concluded).
