I'm just getting started in reading the Star Wars EU books. Aside from the movies, I have only read the original Thrawn trilogy and duology books. The duology got me interested in reading about Luke's failed Jedi academy, so I picked up this book at a used bookstore to fill in that gap. I'd heard that "I, Jedi" basically recounted the entire "Jedi Academy Trilogy" in its first 200 pages, then went on to an original storyline after that. Perfect! I've got too many books in my TBR as it is andI'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
So, after being asked by a friend for recommendations on which Legends proper-canon (😉) SW books to read, that reminded me that I hadn't ever rated (no less reviewed) most of them on here because I'd originally read them all long before Goodreads even existed, and my only real book 'rating' system back then basically consisted of 4 categories: "THIS IS A MASTERPIECE, MUST BUY NOW," "Not a masterpiece, but still good enough to own," "Meh," and "Nope"-- not entirely helpful for either rating

It's hard, as Stackpole attempted, to take a previously told tale (that of the early days of Luke's Jedi Academy) and tell it from a different point of view as part of a different story. Foremost, it doesn't work if readers haven't read the previous work. SW fans have read Kevin Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy or the first half of this book makes little sense. Secondly, the narrative lacks the punch of the first story as our hero is repeatedly absent or passive during critical events of the
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
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
Corran and Mirax Horn are two of my all time favorite Star Wars characters. So in the beginning when this book was about them trying to decide to have kids, I was overcome with glee. Then Mirax went missing. Oops. Should have seen that coming.Then Corran went off to Luke's Jedi academy. I was intrigued because I had just finished a trilogy that involved the Jedi academy. I didn't realize it was an overlapping story. Do you want to know why I didn't? Because Corran was using a false name. He was
