Episode 33

Heir to the Jedi

With a title like that you might be expecting some grand story along the lines of Heir to the Empire. Prepare to have your expectations disappointed. This is a fairly unique book that takes place entirely from Luke's point of view, but it isn't grand or epic. While it isn't terrible, it does feel like a series of fetch quests with only occasional (and out of character) glimpses into Luke's feelings. Most of his feelings involve noodles and a "fridged" love interest though, so prepare yourself for that.

The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.
