Summary: An interesting glimpse into the life of a new Jedi
Review: I have read all of the X-Wing novels that were published and grew fond of many of the characters, including Corran Horn. This book presented a more indepth view of Corran and who he is. I don't normally like first person novels, but I think it helped to read the things that Corran thought and to see things through his eyes. I, for one, am very curious about the Jedi and reading about Corran's experiences with the Force, both good and bad, were entertaining for me. (On a side note, I did like how Stackpole managed to undo something that Kevin J. Anderson wrote into one of his novels that I really disliked.)

Summary: A wonderful Book
Review: I probably like most people have read most of the star wars novels. This one is probably the best one writen the only others that i can think of that can compare are the X-wings series. This book is great because of the perspective from corran. There are so many characters in the star wars universe that if you have a favorite its hard to find out whats happening with them or how they fit in the big picture or what has happend to them to make them so great. Take it for what its worth this is my opinion im a big Fan Of Michael Stackpole. Every time he writes a Star Wars Book he gets better and better at it.

Summary: Mixed Bag
Review: Certainly I, Jedi would get the award for being the most unique Star Wars book out there. The first person perspective gives it its own feel and personality, and the plot is not the same old thing we've heard before.Basicly, this story is told from the perspective of Corran Horn, Stackpole's most noted Star Wars character. Corran is seeking to save his wife, who has dissapeared on a mission,. To accomplish this, he trains with Luke to become a Jedi. This book has some very good points to it. Tha action sequences are well done, and the plot is interesting. It can actually be nice to see the focus shift away from the Empire and zoom in of the profiteers that plague the Republic. Unfortunatly, like many of Stackpole's books, the villians tend to be a bit lacking. Also, true to form, Stackpole makes Corran out to be almost godlike. This time around, he lectures Luke on jedi phillosophy, takes on a whole pirate gang by himself, and in general does everything right. Under other writers' pens, such as Zahn's, Corran can actually be an enjoyable character. But Stackpole can't seem to help making Corran into the new hero of the republic. Through these shortcomings, I, Jedi does turn out a strong performance, particularly in the little fixes of the Jedi Acadamy Trillogy (see: Grandoise Superweapons and Jedi Gods for more information), though again, Corran seems a bit to right for his own good. Stackpole is probably the best technical writer in Star Wars, though he lacks Zahn's outstanding story telling prowse. Overall recdcomended to Star Wars fans.

Summary: It deserves zero stars
Review: Like others, I can't believe all the positive reviews. This is the worst star wars book I've read! The first person perspective is boring as it leaves out important events. The main character is boring as well. How can a guy go on for weeks knowing his wife has been kidnapped? The plot was totally unrealistic, even for sci-fi.

Summary: Everything you needed to know about a Jedi
Review: I feel that this book could have been a lot better. For example I personally thought that Corran/Keiran seemed a bit immature for all of the experiences he went through in his life. His thoughts and actions just didn't seem to fit his character background. With that exception, I thought the rest of the story was great. There is a lot of detail about the Jedi. It is not an easy book to read. You really have to pay attetion to the details to understand everything the author is telling you about the Jedi. We must remember that these stories are fiction and if the hero fails then what is the point of writing the book. The hero is suppose to defeat all odds that are stacked against him. No matter how unbelievable. I would love to see more of Coran and I would especially like to find out if his children have Jedi powers. I would recommend this story to anyone who loves to read Star Wars and/or a good Sci-fi story about a hero that is truly a "good guy".

Summary: One of my favorite books.
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It has a very complicated plot,but that just makes the book better! Just when you think it is the climax, Stackpole delves into a completly different storyline. I would reccommend this book!

Summary: Sorry, Mr. Stackpole, but you are not a Jedi, yet.
Review: Every now and then I have the displeasure of reading a book that could have been so much more than it was. I, Jedi is one such book. Although I agree with some other reviewers who say that the character development (and they mean character development singular, as there is only one real character) was good, I must disagree with them on how good it was. Yes, Corran is a well developed character, but I never cared at ALL about his wife, Mirax (who forms the basis of the entire plot). I found Elegos (Corran's servant) highly annoying and inconsistent. Corran's enemies are TRULY moronic. Especially the Dark Jedi that have teamed up with Admiral Tavira (no explanation is given for this). Think about it. If you were a part of an immensely powerful group of Dark Jedi who were in many ways better at fighting than Luke's band, why would you ally yourself with a rogue imperial with exactly ONE Star Destroyer and a tiny armada of smaller ships? Why would you not merely take the galaxy for yourself? Corran also does some REALLY stupid things. For one thing, he places a "Cubit Zarchonia" in his lightsaber as a focusing crystal, settling for second best. Seeing as how the crystals must be perfectly aligned in order to keep the weapon from exploding upon activation, you would think that he would be smart enough to find a real diamond (he also says that they're pretty easy to find, in the Star Wars Universe). I found the plot to be very weak at times. Mr. Stackpole had to bend over backwards to put Corran into the Jedi Academy Trilogy (which, incidentally, I liked MUCH more). Unfortunately, in doing so, Stackpole changes the meaning of some well written scenes from the classic. He also changes the personalities of many of the Jedi from self-sufficient, strong-willed characters into mere observers who had little to do with the plot (Luke, in particular, is victimized). Corran is also unbelievably good at doing certain things. He is able to outgun Rogue Squadron in an inferior fighter craft, and is able to do incredible things that make little sense. He can waltz through hordes of enemies without moral compunctions of ANY kind, but he cannot fall in love with a woman other than his wife (that scene also made little sense)? I found Corran's moral code to be inconsistent at best, and found it to be a boring side-track from the rest of the book. I cannot believe how polarized the views on this book are. Many people really liked it, so you might also. If you DO decide to get the book, don't say that I didn't warn you. For the thinking part of the population, this is a horrible book. Buy almost anything else, instead. I would particularly recommend the very trilogy that was so badly butchered by this monstrosity (Jedi Academy, by Kevin Anderson), The Courtship of Princess Leia, or the Heir to the Empire Trilogy. If you have an IQ higher than that of Dilbert's Pointy Haired Boss, you'll thank me later. By the way, look at the front cover and see the X-Wing that is missing a laser cannon, it reminds me a lot of the book, except that the book was missing a plot, instead.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I loved this book! Okay okay...so I almost do worship the character Mirax from the Xwing Rogue Squadron books. Maybe just maybe I am a bit biased, but still this book was very good. The first person perspective is a new twist to the Star Wars novel universe. The plot is solid, and the characters get you involved. I would suggest this to any fan of Star Wars especially those who have read and loved the Xwing books.

Summary: Captivating!!!
Review: I was totally mesmerized since the first chapter. my freind told me if i was going to be a star wars fan i had to read some books. so i started on this one. horrible one to start on but it was really good. I like the fact that he is so faithful to his wife. and getting her captured was a good idea. the jedi training was a bit too long. and micheal a stackpole changed the story a bit. other than that it was pretty good!!!
