Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great star wars book
Review: besides having a terrific plot, i liked how it dealt with a few issues that none of the movies and none of the star wars books i have read have touched on.

when luke accompanies leia on a diplomatic mission, leia runs into trouble with her y-wing and they are forced to crash land on a nearby planet. what they find from the beginning is nothing but trouble. for among other things a legendary crystal that amplifies the force leads to a race to find it to give the bearer
unimaginative power.

the action is nonstop from beginning to end, and it is obvious that this book was written after the first star wars movie but it gives a fresh outlook on a story that started almost 30 years ago. it gives some interesting ideals on princess leia that has not ever been brought up that i find quite refreshing which makes her seem more human and approachable then the first 2 movies made her. this is a book that all star wars fans should definitely read.

Summary: Graphic novel adaptation of Alan Dean Foster's bestseller!
Review: Deep in the swamplands of the planet Mimban lies a powerful crystal. In the right hands, it could save the galaxy. In the wrong hands, it could destroy it! Based on Alan Dean Foster's best-selling novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye has been streamlined into the Star Wars continuity by Terry Austin. The gorgeous artwork of Chris Sprouse and Austin make it a must-have trade paperback for every Star Wars lover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best "other than movie" Star Wars book
Review: The book captivated me from start to finish. Terry Austin is faithful to the Star Wars universe and to the characters. If you are looking for stories beyond the movies, this is the only one to read.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: The Best "other than movie" Star Wars book
Review: This comic is an excellent adaptation of Foster's good Star Wars novel. It remains true to the story and dialogue of the book, while at the same time fleshing things out a little and making it easier to place in the timeline, as well as giving the fans a few little goodies such as an appearance from then-still-Captain Piett.

The script is good, as is the artwork, to a point. My only complaint in this area is in the first issue, the contrast is pretty bad, with a bunch of dull browns and greens and the pure black shirts. However, it is refreshing to see Leia wearing something other than that pure white for once, and the character representations are pretty good, though Luke's features are occasionally overdone.

The fights and lightsaber duels are fun, especially Leia's sparring with Vader, and the bickering between Luke and Leia is interesting, and reminds us how close they were before they learned about their common heritage.

This is a fun, colorful, and faithful adaptation recommended to everyone.

Summary: If you dont like the book well... you wont not like it
Review: This is one of the best star wars books of all time anyone who says it doesnt fit in with the timeline your wrong. It doesnt really affect any major plots.Now i know this book was written in '78 but it fits in great with Empire Strikes Back i mean luke was thinking about leia alot and in Empire after the way leia was behaving (pashing him) he'd probably be right and only until the battle of endor is it deemed impossible for luke to get onto leia
