The Tournament by Ruth Baulding (K)

Why this must be read:
Mischief and wry humor are the courses du jour. This story follows an unlikely narrator, Jocasta Nu, the caretaker of the Jedi Archives, throughout the course of the day. This particular day is a significant one for senior Padawans as it is the occasion of a contest of cunning and endurance that is held only once every seven years. It is set pre-TPM during Obi-Wan Kenobi's apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn.
I simply cannot recommend Ruth's body of work strongly enough. Her prose is stunningly beautiful and elegant, her characterizations wonderfully accurate. She does not merely borrow characters from the GFFA and use them in her stories. She fleshes out the characters completely, and in doing so, adds something to the original portrayal that was not there before.
