Star Wars: Rite of Passage

In this 2004 one-shot from Dark Horse, Star Wars: Rite of Passage offers a self-contained glimpse into the Jedi Order's ancient past, focusing on a young Jedi's trial to become a Knight. Written by Chris Gossett with art by Dario Carrasco Jr., the story explores themes of discipline and duty against the backdrop of a harsh desert world. Though a single issue, it stands as a quiet character study within the broader Star Wars Expanded Universe, emphasizing the personal challenges of the Jedi path.
