Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Action?
Review: Not a bad story, but not a Star wars book. Where's the action. Not a single laser, blaster or lightsaber until page 249. I was hoping to get more insight into the training of a jedi, but this was also missing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I have read them all and this is impressive, most impressive
Review: It has been 1 year since the movie but 3 years have passed when this book's tale takes place.

The story and the writing are outstanding. This book reads with the same familiarity that the middle trilogy and the writings that surround those characters posses. I do not include the "Vector Prime" series, which has been jarring to say the least.

Mr. Bear is faithful to all that is appealing in this Universe of long ago, and he certainly has his own style. Unlike many other Authors he brings his talents to bear without trampling over the "feel" of Star Wars, he does not impose himself on the ongoing saga he relates it beautifully.

This adventure has to be read as it is filled with events that will need to be known before the next movie is released. Like Phantom Menace this story centers around Anakin, and expands on what we know about him from the movie. I was curious how they were going to fill a 10 year gap between the story of Episode 1 and 2, but this books demonstrates how, and even includes a slick Coda at the end that makes the reader wish there were an additional 341 pages.

A young man who we all know from the Deathstar is introduced, and other familiar characters we know from the middle trilogy appear here.

The book opens with a type of race that is every bit as good, or better than the Pod Race, Anakin's flying skills are tested with an incredible ship. And throughout it all, Obi-Wan keeps up. He knows like we do, that Anakin is not one to be competed with. "The Chosen One" and what he is and will become are beginning to show in this volume.

I hope Mr. Bear will write many more installments. I kid you not, he's that good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is definetely a very good book. It has an interesting plot, cool technology, and characters that you will recognize from the movies (not only Episode I). It's a good filler to read in between New Jedi Order books. I gave it a five because this book is a good one for even non-Star Wars readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book for STAR WARS fans
Review: This book is a whopper! No seriously this book is Dog-Gonegreat!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rouge Planet is what we need in between movies
Review: The book was excellent. It fueled the need I needed for more Star Wars after Episode 1 came out. It keeps fans occupied while Episode 2 is being filmed. The author captures Obi-Wan and Anakin great, and it's really exciting to read about Tarkin (Who will become the well known Grand Moff Tarkin) and see how Episode 2 is starting to lead into the original movies (Episode 4 - A New Hope)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Wars: Rouge Planet
Review: This is one of the best Star Wars books I have read in a long time( not to say the others are bad) but it helps fill in a little bit more of the huge puzzle. I like how in this story there is more of Obi-Wan because he has never before gotten the book time he deserves. This is a book worthy of the Star Wars universe.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast Pace
Review: I bought this books today. I finished this book today. It is a very fast pace books I couldn't put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rogue Planet review
Review: The books aim is to bridge the gap between Episode I and Episode II. The book is set 3 years since the Battle of Naboo (i.e. 3 years since Episode I) and focuses on Anakin's training by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also it tells about the change that occurs since Palpatine was elected. Overall I would recommend anyone who is a star wars fan, or has seen Episode I. A well written book - 9/10

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A big change from recent SW books that's not for the better
Review: Overall, I enjoyed this book, but I found the first half to be a bit of chore. The second half of the book - when Obi-Wan Kenobi and his now 12-year-old Padawan, Anakin Skywalker finally get to Zonama Sekot - moves along a lot better. Zonama Sekot is a fascinating place and what Anakin experiences there gives you a few clues as to his eventual transformation into a Sith Lord.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Good
Review: This book was not good. Nothing happened, nothing was explained, by the end I was just reading every other line to get through. I had to finish it because I had already invested so much time in it. If you are going to start reading Star Wars, start with something else. Something by Timothy Zahn, James Luceno, or Troy Denning. Not this.
By the way---where is the character development?
