Summary: Nice try, but it falls far short
Review: Mr. Stackpole has apparently spent too much time writing Battletech novels because his characters are too stiff and formal to fit into the Star Wars Universe. It pains me to see a mighty Jedi Master fall and a fascist cop/fighter jock telling him how the Academy should be run and then take off himself to go looking for his wife. Hardly the Knightly ideal. Quite honestly Stackpole has got it wrong about Luke Skywalker- human he may be but not wimpy. I also feel like many readers that this is basically a long self-centred rehash of the Jedi Academy series by Kevin J. Anderson. Wake UP, MIKE!!!!! Do something original! I paid 35 Aussie dollars for THIS?!!!!!

Summary: recycled plot
Review: I found this book and many recently published Star Wars Titles extremely predicatable and at times boring. The Star Wars univese needs to start coming up with new plots because every book seems to put the characters in similar, recycled positions...I feel that the Star Wars Universe is being polluted and exploited with too many excess novels and Bantam should stop putting out so many new stories. When Heir to the Empire came out in 91 I read it at least 3 times... now, with novels like I Jedi, I find it had to finish one... I think the publishing company should take it easy for a while for the sake of the readers and star wars itself...

Summary: A new perspective on Star Wars novels...
Review: I thought I, Jedi was well done as a first person novel. However, The first half of the book deals with Corran's Jedi training, then the Jedi part is just left behind. Also, it deals with events in the Jedi Academy trilogy, which is just like reading those books over again. Later, he becomes a Invid and fights against the New Republic, while inviltrating the Invid's command structure. I was hoping a part of the book would be set aside for dealing with the issue of Corran's fighting against the New Rebublic in a military tribunal.

Summary: Astounding
Review: This book offers a new angle to the Star Wars universe, First Person. This is extremely hard to write, yet Stackpole pulls it off without breaking a sweat. My only complaint is of a weak, predictable ending. Otherwise the book is of extremely high quality and highly recommended.

Summary: I consider I,Jedi to be one of the best Star Wars novels
Review: I thought the book was well writen. I love the way Stackpole wrights the book in the first person perspective.I own and have read 50 of the star wars novels and I consider this one of the best. I like the way the book starts with Coron thinking about having children I think it adds a reality to the story line. I also loved the middle of the book {unlike some people}.I loved the different perspective on the jedi academy. I really liked the way that Coron helped Luke but at the same time realized his own foughts. Having Mara Jade in the book was a stroke of genius,I have personally thought she has needed more background. I thought the end was great with Luke joining Coron to save his wife.Stackpole is one of the best wrighters I have ever read.He not only comes out with a good story line,but he really makes the characters come alive. I would suggest anyone and everyone to read this book.

Summary: Great book!!!!!
Review: I loved the use of the first person in this novel, it told the story much better than any third person narrative could have!!!! It was great to see some insight into the character's consciences and inner selves, the toiling and conflicting emotions, rather than the black-and-white infallible creations of earlier works in the Star Wars series. Corran is so much more "real" than he has ever been before! I would make one criticism, though, and that is in regards to Luke--he seemed to me to be characterized just a bit too much on the "wimpy" side! True he is a first time Jedi Master, and has not had any experience truly teaching Jedi before, but he seemed to me to be a bit too defeated in regards to the students he "lost," too confused, too uncertain.....

Summary: Excellent book...
Review: I thought this book was very good. It was engaging from first to last. However, i found it rather annoying that half the book is spent talking about corans 'jedi experiance' then completely ditching that part of the plot. However Stackpole did write this section well, even if it was a waste of space.

Summary: Stackpole knows his stuff!
Review: I loved this book from beginning to end! Although it did start off a little slow, it was an excellent way to learn more about the Jedi and Luke's academy. Plus it gave me more time to get to know my favorite non-movie character, Corran Horn. I, Jedi is one of the few SW books that has given me that tingle of excitement when the protagonist is in danger and barely makes it out alive. My only complaint is that Luke is characterized as a little too indecisive. He seems like he doesn't have the slightest idea what he's doing with his academy, allowing Corran to step in and advise him quite a bit. I realize that Luke does not know everything about the Jedi teaching tradition, since he was not trained in the most efficient manner, but after a while he just seems spineless. Still, the book deserves 5 stars for being a well-crafted novel that is difficult to put down.
