Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi Book Review

Heir to the Jedi, the third Star Wars Book in the new Canon. Written by Kevin Hearne, a New York Times Best Seller. This book is written if first person. Not really the ideal way to write a Star Wars book. You’re either going to love the style or hate it. (The Legends book I, Jedi was the first Star Wars book written in first person.) In this book, Luke goes on one mission to another and another with all new characters, with the brief passing of a few familiar names like Leia and Akbar. I believe this book failed on so many levels. The biggest failure in this book is the portrayal of Luke Skywalker, (who just so happens to be my favorite character) a complete disservice! Heir to the Jedi takes place soon after the Battle of Yavin, long before the events of The Empire Strikes Back. Luke doesn’t know much about the force as of yet but starts small by moving objects (noodles). This book portrays Luke Skywalker and the other new characters as complete morons. Do yourself a favor and watch my more in depth review before you spend the money on this book. Kevin Hearne, he tried, I think… It might be best if he keeps his pen from writing any Star Wars Books for a long time. Heir to the Jedi was a major flop. I really can’t believe this book was approved to be a part of the Canon. The cover on this book is pretty awesome – Life lesson – don’t judge a book by its cover. I give this book a 0 out of 5
