New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole presents a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars® universe: the dramatic story of a heroic X-wing pilot on the razor's edge between the Force--and the dark side. Corran Horn has distinguished himself as one of the best and brightest of Rogue Squadron's elite fighting force. Then his wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission for the New Republic, and Corran vows to find her. To do so, he knows he must develop the latent Force powers inherited from his grandfather, a legendary Jedi hero. He joins Luke Skywalker's famed Jedi academy to begin training, only to quit in frustration at Skywalker's methods. Now Corran is on his own. Using his Corellian undercover experience, he must infiltrate, sabotage, and destroy a ruthless organization in order to find his wife. But to succeed, Corran will have to come to terms with his Jedi heritage--and make a terrible choice: surrender to the dark side...or die. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years! © 1999 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM All rights reserved.

Assess Appertaining To Books I, Jedi (Star Wars Legends Universe)

This book is genuinely baffling to me because I find myself enjoying it despite the fact that the story is kind of a mess. By all rights this should have been a complete fail for me but I made my way through a fairly hefty (for a Star Wars installment) novel pretty readily. To start, I'm not a huge fan of first person narratives and I think that mode is a bad idea for Star Wars. I think one aspect of the universe that works well is being able to jump across the landscape of the story and see

I'm not entirely sure why people like this book? I found the pace unbearably slow, the writing sub par and the plot very dull. It's mostly just rambling and wandering with the main problem of the story conveniently pushed to the side until the last fifty or so pages where the action really gets going. This book could really be cut in half, or even less. The unwitting Force-sensitive trope is overused to death in Star Wars, and this is just another example. The character to me comes across as

Based solely on plot, I thought this book had potential. The general idea was well thought-out and the events in the story exciting. However, none of that could redeem the terrible characterization--I spent a portion of my middle school years reading fanfiction and the main character, Corran/Keiran reeks of self-insert Sue.Where do I begin? Perhaps the fact that Stackpole finds the need to make Corran the special one. Super rare energy-absorbing Jedi abilities? Check. Special silver lightsaber

Okay, so yes, I'm in love with Corran Horn. (My husband doesn't mind because even if Corran really existed, he knows Mirax would kick my butt if I made a move on him.)I also am a fan of this book because it summarizes the events of the Jedi Academy Trilogy (groan) and puts them in a better and more sensible light (hooray!) (The only good thing about the JAT, in my opinion, was "The Little Lost Bantha Cub"-- which rocks.)Not the best thing to read just entering the SWEU, maybe-- read the original

Nearly fourteen years ago, I picked this book up from a garage sale and read it soon after; it was my introduction to the Star Wars Expanded Universe.However, back then, I was in high school, and a big fan of some entertainment entities that I now cringe when anyone mentions them.So, as an adult, was this as good as I remembered?In a word...no. The story doesn't work very well, and I didn't care for Corran's narration style. I found myself rather bored, which is not a good feeling, especially in

My review here should be taken with a grain of salt, because rereading I, Jedi now is as much about digging up old Star Wars memories (from when there were no more than one, maybe two prequels) as it is about the book itself. Reading some of the other reviews here, I see critiques that make sense to me. This may not be a perfect book......but I still like it, by and large. I like Corran Horn, though. If you DON'T like him, you're dead in the water here, because Corran isn't just the protagonist,

I, Jedi is another book I read when I was younger, and apparently didn't understand or remember very much of it. It's a pretty good story set in the expansive Star Wars universe, and I enjoyed my read.It does have some flaws. While Stackpole's writing is leaps and bounds better than his writing in the X-Wing series, some of it is still wooden, stilted, or just plain unrealistic. The voice at the beginning is excellent--you get a clear idea of Corran's character. Unfortunately, that unique voice
