Painful, painful, painful. I was smack in the middle of a revival of my love of Star Wars thanks to Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. I wanted more, had to have it, so I quickly snapped up these from my local bookseller. The smile on my face soon faded as I waded through the first book. None of the characters sounded like I imagined them...they said things they wouldn't say, did things that I KNEW they wouldn't do. The worst offenses were against characters that Zahn had created...KJA's interpretat...more

Kevin J. Anderson does a good job of picking up the pieces after the terrible Dark Empire/Dark Empire II/Empire Ends comic books (which, IMO, should be written out of canon because they undid all the progress that the New Republic made during the Thrawn era, resurrected the Emperor--can you say uninspired?--and generally sucked) and while he doesn't succeed in avoiding cheesy bits as well as the motion-picture-ready Thrawn series, he does manage to weave together an entertaining, can't-put-it-down set of three novels.

The first problem I have with the series is that it weakens Leia again, who had made some significant progress in the Force during both the Thrawn Trilogy and the aforementioned Dark Empire series, but now seems to lack the basic abilities to reach out across space and talk to Luke, and detect basic problems around her. Here she seems to walk willy-nilly into too many traps and has to be rescued by a male every time.

The strong female lead Mara Jade, whose introduction in the Thrawn series added a great deal of excitement and suspense in her role of near-villain-turned-protagonist (will she kill Luke Skywalker or not?) is relegated to a secondary role here, as a rogue's gallery of independent villains are introduced.

Admiral Daala provides an interesting contrast to the almost-omniscient Grand Admiral Thrawn. Whereas Thrawn was almost too strong a character and had the capability of believably destroying the New Republic once and for all, Daala follows in the blundering footsteps of the Original Trilogy Empire and makes her own share of dumb mistakes. A Star Destroyer here, a TIE Fighter squadron there, and pretty soon you're talking about real losses. Where Daala starts out as a genuinely interesting and intimidating character, by the end of the series you almost feel sorry for her. Her battle plans basically consist of 'let's throw all our stuff at the Rebels this time and hope we win' every time, and while there are losses on both sides, overall, she rates a thumbs-down as an effective villain.

Anderson, however, makes up for Daala's bumbling by inserting some genuinely interesting alternate baddies, so if you don't care for her, there's Exar Kun, Moruth Doole, Tol Sivron, Ambassador Furgan, and (for a while) Kyp Durron.

The problem here is that the successful, dominant characters, be they good or bad, are all male. The males always swoop in and save the weaker (and, in Leia's case, deliberately weakened) females, that that gets a little old.

Another problem I have with the series is the overuse of the Original Trilogy characters' catchphrases: Leia and Han's 'I love you' / 'I know', Han's 'never tell me the odds', and Yoda's 'do or do not, there is no try' (quoted in various combinations numerous times). Can we please all agree that catchphrases are only allowed once during a series or a book, if at all? Been there, seen that, read that. Let's move on. Please save our eyes from the strain of rolling too much--no more catchphrases.

There are quite a few different storylines going on during this series, but Anderson gives the reader a chance to stop and breathe here and there. His descriptions of locations and characters are excellent, allowing the reader to easily step in an step out of each location--and this is good, because there are quite a few location changes!

While there were problems, overall, I was entertained by this series, and that's what counts in the end. It makes several good contributions to the series: mostly undoing the idiotic Dark Empire series, introducing some memorable new characters, and providing non-stop action. (less)

I read this book when it was first published some 15 years ago. At the time there were several Star Wars books being published, from memory I think it was all part of the marketing push in the run up to the release of Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. As a keen Star Wars fan I was snapping them up.

This is volume 1 of the Jedi Academy trilogy. As I remember I was not terribly impressed, I bought volume 2 but couldn't be bothered with volume 3. The rating of 4 is only that generous because I'm still a...more

Princess Leia is married to Han Solo, and they have three children. What used to be the Rebel Alliance is now the New Republic, a fledgling democracy of many united worlds that has replaced the Empire. Remnants of the Empire still linger throughout the galaxy, however, in the form of rogue Imperial Star Destroyers and hidden Imperial outposts, so the New Republic still finds itself occasionally involved in skirmishes and interplanetary warfare. Luke Skywalker is a Jedi Master (after having fallen to the Dark Side and being rescued by Han and Leia, apparently in another series prior to this novel) with a single-minded goal of training new Jedis. Thus, "Jedi Search". Sci-fi author Anderson has written a pretty exciting novel in the post-"ROTJ" Star Wars universe, part one of his Jedi Academy trilogy. He pays tribute and reference to the previous novels, most notably Timothy Zahn's excellent "Thrawn" trilogy, Kathy Tyers's "Truce at Bakura", as well as some other books that I somehow missed reading (a serious oversight that I will correct the next time I make it to the book store). I thoroughly enjoyed Anderson's novel, which is as suspenseful and entertaining as one would expect from a Star Wars novel. There are several parallel storylines going on in the novel, the main one involving the capture of Han Solo and Chewbacca by thugs from Han's smuggling days. He and Chewie manage to escape only to find themselves captured by a rogue Imperial fleet, led by the ruthless Admiral Daala, which for the past decade has been stationed near a black hole, unaware that the Empire has fallen, until Han tells them. They have been secretly developing a new super-weapon called the Sun Crusher. (Three guesses as to what it does...) Needless to say, the gang's all here and ready to kick some more Imperial ass. And if you've read this far into my review, I commend you on your geekiness.(less)

Jedi Search has been my first non-Timothy-Zahn Star Wars novel experience and I don't completely know what to make of it. Overall I think this book suffers from the same syndrome as the Prequel Trilogy - it's good, but not good enough to match some of its predecessors. I've certainly read worse books in the sci-fi scene, but regarding Star Wars, it does not live up to expectations set by Thrawn books, though it might just be my preference of one author's style over another's.

I remember violently hating this book when it was published. I was still fresh off the high from Zahn's The Last Command, and this was what Bantam offered as a follow-up? No, no, no.

So it was with a certain trepidation and fatalism that I approached this novel in my SWEU read-through. And it was both better and worse than I remember.

How is it better? Well, the writing doesn't begin to approach the sharpness of Zahn's, or even Tyers's, but it's not awful. It's not great; it's awkward and amateuri...more

The whole time I was reading Timothy Zahn's excellent Thrawn Trilogy, I kept finding myself being pleasantly surprised at how much I was enjoying the storyline and at how well Zahn conjured the spirit of those familiar characters while rendering new characters who flow seamlessly into the already well-established storyline from the films. Zahn's dialogue made me feel that Harrison Ford himself was delivering Han Solo's lines, and the intrigue with both the smugglers and the newly revamped Imperial Fleet, headed by Grand Admiral Thrawn, kept me turning pages long into the night.

I was so into the Thrawn Trilogy, in fact, that when it ended I immediately decided to continue geeking out and dive into the next trilogy on the EU timeline. The next trilogy, unfortunately, is this piece of shit, written by Kevin J. Anderson. I would not call into question Anderson's love of the Star Wars universe or his ability to keep events in line with the EU timeline established by Zahn a few years prior to this trilogy's publication. However, being a fan does not make one a good writer, and despite the fact that Anderson has penned some twenty sci-fi novels (including other Star Wars titles), it became apparent in the first twenty pages the difference in writing ability of the Hugo Award winning Zahn and this guy. The dialogue is painful. In particular, C-3PO is so badly rendered that he comes off less as a petulant protocol droid and more like a bitchy queen at some New york party who just can't have a good time and must whine about something constantly. I could probably look past the clunky dialogue too, if it weren't for the fact that the story itself just sucks. I kept reading on, hoping to get to some good action a la Thrawn, but instead I eventually ended up with Lando, 3PO and R2 on a distant planet trying to locate a potential Jedi candidate who had shown a knack for betting big money the right blob race. Yeah, I just typed the words "blob race" in reference to a major plot point of a book I was reading on my own limited time. This was after Han and Chewie, and Luke, on separate planets, found themselves at the mercy of captors who were either so inept or so badly written (or both) that they made the most lame stormtrooper seem like MacArthur in strategic ability. I got about four pages into the blob race arena, smelled the stupidest pod raceing scene ever shaping up, and dove into an escape pod.

I have acquaintances who have read all, or almost all, of the novels in the EU, and I'll admit that for a brief moment after finishing Thrawn that thought had occurred to me. However, as I already mentioned, Kevin J. Anderson had penned several of those other novels as well, and I'll not be reading any of his any time in the near future, and likely at all. Maybe if I get caught in a cell with a Rancor and a copy of his stand alone novel Darksaber, but that's the only case I can conjure up that would drive me to pick up any of Anderson's cringeworthy writing again. I hope the next Star Wars book I pick up will help cleanse the taste of this bantha dung from my mouth, but it will have to wait, because after opting out of this trilogy, I think I'm going to stop geeking out for the time being and just rest on the Star Wars-y enjoyment I got from reading the Thrawn Trilogy and not try to "Force" the feeling again for a while.

It turns out this happened in the Dark Empire comic, which I only have a vague recollection of. It doesn’t affect much as the streamlined summary I just gave sums up everything and it isn’t really mentioned much anyhow.

The plot revolves around Luke trying to form a Jedi academy, collecting pupils from across the galaxy. Meanwhile Han and Chewie get captured while on a diplomatic mission to Kessel. Normally you wouldn’t want that guy doing diplomatic missions in the first place but he gets the gig because of his former associations smuggling spice out of the prison mines. Of course, the people in charge there have old beefs with him and as such everything goes to slag. It’s interesting that over the course of the books I’ve come to dislike Han a bit more with each book. It started in The Courtship of Princess Leia where any semblance of logic in his brain went out the window and it continues here in Jedi Search with none of his resourcefulness coming into play at all when it comes to his capture. And while he manages to escape (he is still Han), much of it comes down to blind luck and it diminishes him as a character in my eyes.

The book also sees the return of Admiral Daala who we first met in Death Star but if I recall correctly this is actually her first appearance. Much of her backstory was just filled in over the course of that later novel. There’s not a lot of disconnect between the two other than there is no mention of her supposedly very serious injury that forced her departure from the Death Star as represented in that novel.

Jedi Search is an average book that really just works as setup for further adventures by bringing in Daala and introducing the weapons developments in the Maw cluster at Kessel. Luke manages to scrounge up two students for his Jedi academy but nothing comes of it. That will get handled as the trilogy progresses. Hopefully there is more substance to the next two books as this one felt a bit light.(less)

I read a lot of crap spin offs from Star Wars when I was in middle school. I barely remember this series, except that it tied in with the Tales of the Jedi comic series, and the Thrawn Trilogy.

I admired Kevin J. Anderson's commitment to consistency. Even though it is a losing battle against a swirling storm of crap ideas and subpar writing, fueled by the money of maladjusted tween boys.

Also, this trilogy contains a really lame way of "one upping the death star."
