Negative Positive
Title: Lost in Space
Review: This applies equally to the other two parts of the Jedi Academy trilogy, but Dark Apprentice was perhaps the nadir. Where have the characters been all this time? There is absolutely no growth, most noticeably on the part of our supposed Jedi master, Luke. Emotionally, and in terms of his understanding of his powers, Luke's character seems to have weakened and regressed even 7 (?) odd years after ROTJ (not to mention, over the course of this trilogy). Perhaps this phenomenon is a function of the author's desire to help readers relive the glory days of Star Wars. Or maybe, the author has no concept of what it means to be a Jedi knight. Sadly there is more character development of the twins than any other characters. On the other hand, the basic idea of a jedi academy is fascinating. I only wish the trilogy had spent more time on taking us into that world and not on a cruise through endless rounds of sitcom-ish plot devices and one-dimensional characters
