Reasons for recommending: It might seem a cheat to rec a 2003 story in the classics, but I tend to view Beyond the Pale as Reciprocity redux (Reciprocity being an earlier story of Splix's using the same foursome; with a similar flavour of slightly OTT, yet always amusing and often touching, characterisation). But Beyond the Pale is the superior of the two. Yoda's strict, somewhat sheltered newly-Knighted padawan finds himself rescued on a mission by a rather unconventional Jedi master. The pair can't help but clash, especially when Qui-Gon's former padawan Xanatos, and his young accomplice Bruck, are thrown into the mix. It's funny, it's touching, it's ambiguous - and it's sexy as hell. Who could resist?
