Commentary As Books I, Jedi (Star Wars Legends Universe)
New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole presents a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars® universe: the dramatic story of a heroic X-wing pilot on the razor's edge between the Force--and the dark side. Corran Horn has distinguished himself as one of the best and brightest of Rogue Squadron's elite fighting force. Then his wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission for the New Republic, and Corran vows to find her. To do so, he knows he must develop the latent Force powers inherited from his grandfather, a legendary Jedi hero. He joins Luke Skywalker's famed Jedi academy to begin training, only to quit in frustration at Skywalker's methods. Now Corran is on his own. Using his Corellian undercover experience, he must infiltrate, sabotage, and destroy a ruthless organization in order to find his wife. But to succeed, Corran will have to come to terms with his Jedi heritage--and make a terrible choice: surrender to the dark side...or die.

This was my FIRST EVER buddy read with one of my best friends; the wonderful and amazing David Green! I realized who I was. I saw my reflection in the mirror and heard the wind call to me. I had, since before I could remember remembering, always held as the highest possible ideal a commitment to serving others. My job was to provide others shelter and shade, to be a fortress against all the cruelty and wantonness out there. Selflessness is the only antidote to evil. It provides the light that"If you cannot recognize the man in the mirror, it is time to step back and see when you stopped being yourself"The only first-person view in the Star Wars world to date, I am rereading this one for a Star Wars book of the month club.About two years after the Thrawn Incident, Corran Horn is still in the Rogue Squadron when he senses that his wife, Mirax Terrick, is gone. Knowing he has Jedi powers, Luke Skywalker convinces Corran that the best way to find her is to cultivate this nascent talent.
One of all time favorite star wars books written by my favorite battletech aithor's.

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
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
WHY DOES SW_MEME HATE I, JEDI?BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT STACKPOLE'S SELF-INSERT THAT KNOWS SOOOOOO MUCH MOAR THAN EVERYONE ELSE AND KNOWS SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT EVERYTHING AND IS COMPLETELY FUCKING OBNOXIOUS. I APPROVE OF STACKPOLE TRYING TO FIX SOME OF THE MOAR RIDICULOUS SHIT, AND HE HAS THE PROPER VIEW OF THINGS LIKE KYP, BUT OVERALL THE BOOK IS A WANNABE PRETENTIOUS PIECE OF CRAP AND NECKBEARDS FUCKING LOVED IT.IMAGINE THE SMUGGEST FIX-IT FIC YOU COULD. IMAGINE WRITING IN YOUR MARY SUE SMUGLY TELLING
I, Jedi is a strange beast. It's long, twice as long as it should be, since it includes two full story arcs. The baffling part is that the first arc is a bizarre retelling of the events of KJA's Jedi Academy Trilogy, told from the perspective of a character who didn't appear at all in the original story. I can't honestly fathom what made the editors, or even the author, think that overlap was a good idea. Corran is a mega-hero Gary Stu on par with Luke, and so in this telling, he is responsible
