Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I found Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter to be an interesting, exciting and fun change of pace from the more run-of-the-mill Star Wars novels. It obviously takes place in the Prequel Era, and covers the events immediately before the start of The Phantom Menace. Basically the plot is that a Neimoidian with news...

Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (Star Wars) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The "Essential Guide" series to the Star Wars universe has (perhaps surprisingly) never had a book devoted entirely to the "Force". And this one does not disappoint! The attempt at an "in-universe" historical style (supposedly, the "author" is a Jedi in the New Jedi Order) makes it immersive and fun...

Darksaber (Star Wars) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Uh oh. The remnants of the Empire are gathering together to form a threat to the New Republic. Uh oh. There is a giant superweapon being constructed using the original plans and scientists who worked on the Death Star. Sigh. Out of all the possible stories that able to be told in the Star Wars Universe...
Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Vol. 6 Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures is an ongoing series from Dark Horse comics that takes its inspiration from the extremely successful Clone Wars cartoon series. This inspiration is visible in both the short, action-packed nature of the stories as well as in the art style itself. Volume Six contains four...

Pursuit (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 6) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Boba Fett series comes to a thrilling conclusion with Boba, now a warrior and bounty hunter in his own right, seeking revenge on Mace Windu, the jedi who murdered his father at the start of the Clone Wars. There is a twist ending I won't give away, but I will say Chancellor Palpatine makes a sudden...

Star Wars: Mysteries of the Jedi Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The impression I get from this book is that it's meant for kids who are "growing into" Star Wars fans. It's written to be at a level able a children's book but clearly isn't meant for the adult reader. A young kid whose seen the movies and wants to know more about Star Wars or a kid who's been watching...

Before the Storm (Star Wars: The Black Fleet Crisis, Book 1) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)How do you rate the first book? Well, since this is a trilogy, and I've read enough of them to know better, I expected the majority of the first book to be spent laying the groundwork for the next two.That is exactly what we got. It isn't until the 100th page or so, that anything that could be considered...

Dark Empire I (Star Wars) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For everybody's information (this is from published interviews with Veitch), when George Lucas asked Tom Veitch to write Star Wars: Dark Empire, Veitch said he thought the Empire would try to keep the fear of Darth Vader alive by putting somebody else inside the costume. Lucas told Veitch, "You can't...
Daze of Hate, Knights of Suffering (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Vol. 4) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Much like the `trilogy' in 6 parts, the Dark Horse Star Wars comic series has become very complex Crack open any Star Wars book, and look at the time line. Complex does not mean that it is too intricate to enjoy however, and Volume 4, Daze of Hate, Knights of Suffering, is certainly that.John Jackson...

Endgame (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Vol. 9) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Endgame is a denouement, a figurative and literal cleaning up and sorting out, the final chapter in Dark Horse's Clone Wars series. That doesn't mean there's nothing but talking heads and exposition. On the contrary, there's plenty of action in three stories about choice and consequence. Chronologically,...

The Crystal Star (Star Wars) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Chrystal Star entralles the reader with a pretty cool cover, but that is about all it does. This book is absolutely terrible. Having read every other Star Wars book ever written, I can speak with some authority on the subject. The characterizations are weak and the behavior of the main characters...
