Our view

“Jedi Search” is a solid opening to “The Jedi Academy Trilogy”, in which Luke Skywalker sets out to rebuild the Jedi Order. Set seven years after “Return of the Jedi”, it runs several storylines side by side, and some readers praise Luke’s new maturity and the villains. Others find the descriptions of settings long for how little happens. Fans of the old Star Wars Expanded Universe novels will recognise their territory.

About the book

The Jedi Academy trilogy is a trilogy of science fiction novels set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. All three books were written by Kevin J. Anderson and published in 1994. The plot takes place around seven years after the events of the 1983 film Return of the Jedi. The series chronicles Luke Skywalker's early attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order after the defeat of the Emperor. Some of the events in the trilogy are retold from a different perspective in I, Jedi by Michael A. Stackpole.
