Star Wars "Jedi Search" I remember this book fondly this was my first venture into anything Star Wars after Return of the Jedi and I have great memories of reading it. Does it hold up? Not really, but that’s okay. It’s not a bad book. It is a little short, thin, and doesn’t really leave a lot to sink your teeth into. Essentially, right after Return of the Jedi or sometime after Luke heads off to the Senate, says, “Hey, you know what? It’s time for me to restart this Jedi school thing.” And they go, “Yeah, go do that.” You expect a fun-filled Luke adventure, and… it’s all right. He meets a couple of Jedi, but the interactions aren’t super memorable. Leia and Lando are in the book, but the best thing this book has going for it is Han and Chewie finding themselves on Kessel in quite a pickle. Everything to do with Kessel and what’s going on with them is super entertaining. There aren’t any real slow beats, but the book does have a pacing problem. The bonus is that this is the first of three it’s a trilogy so this isn’t the end of the story. But as far as big bang, awesome hype? Eh, it’s all right. Overall, I’d say yes, read it, check it out. It’s part of the Legends storyline, not necessarily canon, but some of it may come back up in the future. Hoping so. 3/5 #starwars
