Star Wars: The Legends of Luke Skywalker Book Review
Journey to The Last Jedi
The Legends of Luke Skywalker is a YA book, written by Ken Liu. This book has the banner, Journey to Star Wars: Journey to The Last Jedi.
Summary: A group of you deckhands aboard the cargo freighter, Wayward Current, exchange stories they’ve heard about the mystical, mysterious, and legendary Luke Skywalker. The captain of the Wayward Current is a Hutt, only hiring young naive beings; they won’t be greedy and they won’t get feisty (maybe).
Characters: Although there a few characters in this book, I’ll focus on the main character, Luke Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker: He’s the hero, obviously, but the continuous trait in each tale, is how much he hates violence. It can be a little annoying at times. For example, maybe a minor spoiler, but it’s nothing important, this information won’t ruin your day. Luke and another person are swallowed by a space slug, and he’s worried about giving the beast indigestion.
Overall Thoughts: This book was not good. It was so lame! I just couldn’t get excited reading this book. Some of the material would be cool had it been true. One of the tales mentions Luke on Jakku, bringing down Star Destroyers… but he’s also mentioned as giant mystical being in the stars.
I think the best part of the book is the design of the book itself. The art throughout is very nice. The pages were artistic, down to the unique font that was used. I liked the texture of the book as well.
Do I recommend you pick up The Legends of Luke Skywalker? No. It’s unnecessary and silly.
Rating: I will rate this book a 1.5 out of 5.
