Summary: HEIRS of the FORCE
Review: This book is about two young Jedi named Jaina and Jacen that go to the Jedi Acadamy run by their uncle, Luke Skywalker. When Jacen and Jania go for a ride in their friend's ship, they see something shiny. They decide to go check it out. When the get there they find a crashed Tie Fighter. When Jacen looking around he finds a path. Jacen follows the path and finds a hutt.The owner the owner of the hutt and of the crashed Tie Fighter takes Jacen hostage. If you whant to find out if Jacen escapes read HEIRS of the Force. I like this book because it has a lot of action in it. There is a series of Yuong Jedi Knits so the action wont end so quickly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Incredible Book Series.
Review: This book is based 20 years after the Empire's attempt to destroy Yavin4. Before Jedi Master Luke Skywalker turned it into his very own jedi training ground, it was a rebel base, hidden from the evil clutches of Emperor Palpatine. Now, 20 years after the battle at Yavin, the Solo twins, Jacen and Jaina Solo, are training to become Jedi knights under the wing of the their Uncle, Luke Skywalker.

In this book, the twins meet their new friends and explore the jungles of Yavin in Lowbacca's skyhopper, a gift given to him by his uncle, Chewie. Lowbacca ventures out into the jungle and comes across something mysterious. He returns to the academy and emediatly tells his find to his new friends.

Later, Lowbacca takes Jaina, Jacen, and Tenal Ka out into the forest in search of what he found, eager to show his new friends. Jaina comes to the conclusion that it it a crashed TIE fighter, obviously from the battle at Yavin. It must have crashed down in the forest. Jealous of Lowbacca's Skyhopper, Jaina convinces her friends to repair it so she can have a vehicle of her own.

When the repairs are nearly done, a mysterious man approaches the twins and watches them. Unknown to the jedi, the pilot that lost his craft was still alive. Living in the forst of Yavin4 for 20 years. When Jacen stumbles upon the pilot's home, he startles the pilot and chases Jacen back to the crash site. There he captured the twins and help them captive while the others ran off for help.

I enjoyed this book the most because it shows the bond of friendship. This is only book one of a very interesting and great book series, where children learn and train as Young Jedi Knights.

Summary: The Beggining of a Legacy...
Review: This book is defenatley the best Star Wars book I have ever read. With exellent descriptions, plot, and well-developed characters, this book is a gem to be treasured on anyone's bookshelf. The story is so intriging, I read over fifty pages a day!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great start !!!
Review: This book is great!I especialy like the way it introduces the characters.My favorite character is Tenel Ka, who is both a princess and an athlete.If you read it, I know you will probably like it.I certainly did

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty good book
Review: This book is pretty good, but lacks some excitement. Anderson could get to the point quicker, and have more suspense. Overall, it does a great job of revealing the characters of Jaina, Jacen, Lowie, and Tenel-Ka

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a good book for younger star wars fans
Review: this book is the first of the young Jedi books and it is very interesting. All of your favorite characters like Han and Luke show up in this book but the Solo kids have their own adventures as well. The story about the wrecked tie fighter pilot was a pretty good one and I think it will keep all readers interested

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great start!
Review: This book is very good for the first book. It really gives you lots of information for each character, so you can get to know them. That is mostly what I like about this book. One thing I didn't like that much was that it took a long time for it to get exciting. If someone sat down to read it and thought it was boring, they might not finish the book, right? But I give thumbs up to Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta. Way to Go!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great start to a great series
Review: This book was a very good way to start the Young Jedi Knights series. Not only was it interesting, but it introduced all of the characters and here and there gave details about them so you could familiarize yourself with them. It also gives each character a special trait or ability. For Jaina, it is mechanics, for Jacen it is animals and nature, for Tenel Ka it is athletic ability, and for Lowie it is electronics. I also liked the it gave each character an almost equal amount of pages in the book. The last thing that I like about this book is that it incorporates characters that you are probably familiar with, such as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca. Although I did not like it as much as Shadow Academy, its successor, I gave it a higher rating because it deserves more credit for being the first book. After all, if somebody did not like the first book in the series, why would they read the next? All in all, I think Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Moesta make a great team for writing these books.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Awesome continuation of Return of the Jedi
Review: This is a exciting continuation from Return of the Jedi.
Han and Leia get married and have twin children,Jacen and Jaina, brother and sister. One day Lowbaca, Chewbaca's nephew, Tenel Ka, Jacen, and Jaina were in the jungel and found a crashed X-Wing Tie Fighter. As they search deeper into the jungle they found the pilot of The X-wing fighter and they all were scared because he was shooting at them. They knew that The Impire, Darth Vader, was evil and so if he was evil then his men were also. Tenel Ka and Lowbaca got away but Jacen and Jaina were stuck with the Imperial Pilot and they were slaves.
