Title: Why was this printed?
Review: This book, hands down, is the worst Star Wars stuff I've read.I wonder to myself why it was printed, and since it was, I wonder why it was not printed under the "young adult" category.If you like the silly things in some of the movies, like fuzzy little Ewoks destroying a whole Legion of the Emperor's best troops, or Jar-Jar taking out several war droids because he got his foot stuck in the wires of a downed droid, then you'll probably like Anderson's work. It's more along those lines.I found the book very hard to read (in keeping my interest), and there is one non-plausible situation followed by another.His basic idea for the trilogy is pretty cool, but he destroyed it in the telling. I would have liked to have seen these same ideas brought to us in the hands of a better writer.Skip this book (and the trilogy) unless you like "silly" Star Wars stuff. If you do (and there's nothing wrong with that), then you will love this set.Kenneth.
