Return of the Jedi (Choose Your Own Star Wars Adventures) Review

With Return of the Jedi Being my favorite Star Wars movie, I was very eager to sit down and become part of the story in one of these "Choose your own adventure" stories. In the book, you play the role of Luke's Best friend, as you attempt to rescue Han and defeat the evil galactic Empire. Along the way, depending on the choices you make, you will zoom along with Leia on speeder bikes, join (Reluctantly) forces with Bobba Fett, set the rancor monster free in Jabbas palace, and my personal favorite, Go with Luke up to the Death Star and decide the fate of the galaxy. There are lots of really neat endings and plot changes in the book depending on what choices you make. There are lots of good and Happy endings, and of course, some very deppressing ones, but thankfully, there are not so many this time (Unlike the Empire strikes back one). One thing that really suprised me are the types of choices in the book. For instance in one critical part, if you choose the good bath, you get a bad ending, but if you take the good path, you get a good ending. My only gripe with this book is that you are considered a weakling too many times by Han and the Others. But it is still the best in the series of Adventure books. Dont miss it!
The good: You are a main charachter in Star Wars! Lots of happy endings, really cool scenarios
The bad: Some dissapointing endings
And the ugly: You are often reduced to the role of "Idiot" a lot.

Captive to Evil by Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars Journal) Review

This short book was written for the 9-12 age group, but is of interest to any Leia fan. It is well constructed, flows nicely, and contains new insights into her character. The author is obviously intrigued by the Han-Leia relationship and provides some interesting and fun details on their initial feelings towards each other, as well as on Leia's early relationship with Luke. This is not a "relationship" story, however, and those aspects are nicely balanced with action scenes. A good read, certainly appropriate for the intended age group, and, particularly at the low price, worthwhile for any Star Wars fan.

Princess Leia makes regular entries into her data pad, a palm-sized computer hidden in her belt. In each entry she recalls all the details of her intergalactic capture and rescue--and how she really feels about Han Solo and Luke.

Star Wars: Star Pilot (DK READERS) Review

Star Wars: Star Pilot (DK READERS)

"Star Pilot" is a tour of Star Wars' great flying vehicles. The title isn't entirely accurate since the focus isn't actually on pilots, but rather the machines. Beyond this, the scope is broader than space ships alone as the book includes pod racers and republic gunships. The scope includes the entire saga, starting with the droid control ship seen in the first minute of the "Phantom Menace" and ending with the Super Star Destroyer, seen in Episode six's final battle. The chronological order makes the book comfortable to follow. While the text is large, the vocabulary is much higher than the self-described level 3. The illustrations are large, high-quality and extracted from the films. While not comprehensive by any means, "Star Pilot" is an enjoyable tour of the most important vehicles of the Star Wars saga.
