Title: Star Bores is more like it!
Product review: It doesn't appear to me that James Luceno could write his way out of a paper bag. There is no neato Science Fiction in this novel. It is almost as if someone gave the guy a template for a story, told him.. "This is what must happen, how you make it happen is your business.." and he started writing. The book reads like a term paper in the Star Wars universe. We never get a glimpse in depth to the motivation of Qui Gon or Obi Wan. Why are they Jedis? Why do they consider certain people their nemesis? Why bother? Any of the short stories included in any of the TALES FROM: series of Star Wars book offered more characterization, more neato Sci Fi gadgets and ideas, and more alien cultures and even more PLOT than this novel. This book just clearly bored me to tears and I was disappointed in it. It answered no real burning questions and offered no great revelations. There was no compelling reason to like either Qui Gon or Obi Wan or even to cheer them on.
