I Jedi Star Wars Star Wars Legends edition by Michael A Stackpole Literature Fiction eBooks

I, Jedi has rather uneven pacing. Given that the Jedi Academy books spanned a whole trilogy, it is rather jarring that the events of that series take place in the course of this single novel -- and they're only about half of the book, at that, The rest of the book involves Corran at the head of a pirate starfighter squadron and his plan to get Mirax back.

I would fight this book frustrating if I wasn't already familiar with Corran Horn. Indeed, I found reading the Dark Tide books frustrating without having first read through all of Rogue Squadron and eventually this book. That is both a strength and a weakness.

Stackpole is enthusiastic about referencing and including the rest of the EU. This is great if you have read the rest of the EU, but frustrating if you have not. In his Dark Tide books Corran Horn is arguably the main character and a powerful Jedi. If you are just jumping into the Dark Tide books, given that Stackpole heavily references the events of the Jedi Academy trilogy in particular, you'll probably feel left out.

It's therefore necessary going into the Vong books to have read through the X-wing books as well as I, Jedi, which shows how Corran embraces his Halcyon Jedi heritage. But you can't read I, Jedi either without having read the Jedi Academy trilogy, which depends on your having read the Thrawn books as well as the first Dark Empire. You also need to have read Courtship of Princess Leia and Truce at Bakura as well as the Rogue Squadron comics if you want to really get all the references.

I'm finally at a place where I have done all of this. And it is very rewarding when you have done so, as you can share in all of Corran's memories and really place yourself in the context of everything that is happening.

It's very much a Rogue Squadron book and the payoff to having read all the EU material up until this point. The writing features Stackpole's usual careful, descriptive style, and the plotting is on a grand scale that incorporates the events of the Jedi Academy trilogy while also telling the additional adventure of Corran's search for Mirax.

Ironically, the events of this book aren't altogether important for the development of the EU (outside of the Dark Tide books), with the exception perhaps of the introduction of the Caamasi species and especially Elegos A'kla.

My recommendation: for maximum enjoyment, come into I, Jedi having read:
Shadows of the Empire
Truce at Bakura
Courtship of Princess Leia
Rogue Squadron books and comics
Thrawn
Dark Empire
Jedi Academy Trilogy

Then you'll have maximum enjoyment.

I Jedi Star Wars Star Wars Legends edition by Michael A Stackpole Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Honestly the book is one of my favorites and is easily a great addition to the Star Wars Franchise. The protagonist is simple yet unique and original right along with most of all the other characters. The plot may be slow at times, but it makes sure to have plenty of meat with a good level of action, and is sure to not go overboard with nonsense physical conflict throughout. The main character is easy to follow in any development he may have and his story interacts well with intertwining one or two familiar characters that are trademark to the Star Wars saga (mainly referring to Luke Skywalker). Honestly I would easily suggest this book to a friend and/or a fellow fan of Star Wars.
I purchased this book based on the good reviews from , and the recommendation from other sites as to it's quality. While I enjoyed many aspects of the story and most of the action scenes, there were several times I felt disconnected from the book or unsympathetic towards the characters.

This book left me neither completely disappointed or completely satisfied. After reading it, I had no further interest in the future of the main character.

Four aspects prevented me from awarding full stars for this review

The space-battles are a double edged sword. The author elicits descriptive detail but occasionally uses words that sent me scrambling for a dictionary, effectively pulling me out of the story.

Italics are used to emphasize seemingly important states of emotional thought or "aha" moments of clarity for the hero. It is insulting and amateurish to essentially "break the 4th wall" and condense the ideas portrayed in a chapter to a single sentence.

Women characters also seem particularly weak in the story. Not weak as a defining characteristic, but a representation of the author's ability to portray them in believable ways. Often the female characters are limited to superficial behaviors few would describe as authentic.

****SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT****
****SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT****
The final insult occurs after the mid-point in the story. Our hero has "completed" his training with Luke Skywalker, but insists that he wasted his time, that the force sensitive skills mastered won't be of any use to him as he continues on his rescue mission.

It would have been better to show the negative consequences of the hero's actions (waiting too long to try the rescue) instead of insulting the reader's intelligence by insisting his mission could be solved by the skills acquired as an above average pilot.

Even with my harsh criticism, this book has admirable qualities. If you enjoyed the Rogue Squadron series, this book is a great read. I prefer the "Darth Bane" series to this book, but to each their own.

Please see the top reviews for a more positive impression of the book.
