Description

After reading "The Bounty Hunter Code" (TBHC after this) from the same series as this book I was hoping this book would be a bit better. TBHC was fun, but too stale and dry for my taste. I was expecting "The Jedi Path" to be much more philosophical, since Jedi are much more spiritual than bounty hunters. So, did this book do its job? This, no doubt, will be an incredibly fun book for some Star Wars fans. But, for me it was completely unnecessary. Normally I tend to like books like this if I feel that they belong in their world, however, this was completely unrealistic. Master Sooloot believed the prophecy dated from the First Greath Schism, and that the line about the Sith was added later to refine the original text.

Der gefaltete Tempelplan ist nett, wie auch der Aufnäher. Am besten gefällt mir da noch die Serviette mit dem Entwurf für ObiWan's Lichtschwert. Here Are All The Star Wars Covers in The Last Jedi Book Series by Breznican, Anthony on ew.com ( July 20, 2017) (archived from the original)The Jedi archives contain many prophecies. The prophecy of the Chosen One is one of the oldest prophecies of Mortis held in the ancient Holocrons. In the time of great despair, a child shall be born who will destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force. The chosen one would surely be a vessel of pure energy, someone who was fathered into existence by the midi-chlorians themselves to act as their agent. Such a being would be beyond the authority of the Jedi Council. The ancient Masters who wrote the text: Fae Coven, Grand Master and head of the Jedi Council; Crix Sunburris, Jedi Ace starfighter pilot; Restelly Quist, Jedi Chief Librarian; Skarch Vaunk, Jedi Battlemaster and lightsaber expert; Bowspritz, Jedi Biologist and expert on the Living Force; Sabla-Mandibu, Jedi Seer and Holocron expert; Morrit Ch'gally, Jedi recruiter; Gal-Stod Slagistrough, Jedi leader of the Agricultural Corps.

I, personally, am very attracted to Ataru and Makashi, but who knows which form would eventually suited me the best. Source] Star Wars: The Jedi Path and Book of Sith Deluxe Box Set is a hardcover boxed set from Chronicle Books that collects The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force and Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side, both written by Daniel Wallace. Exclusive to this set are two specially commissioned artwork prints by Gustavo Mendonca and Derek Thompson. The set was published on August 12, 2014.Destruction of Jedha City (First identified as destruction of the holy city) (First identified as massacre at Jedha) Note: I have included notable users of each form also from The Legends, as The Canon is still quite poor on the topic. The effort taken to present this 'lost' manual of the Jedis deserve applause. Pressing the button makes the vault doors open up with beeps and hisses and the book itself rises from inside thanks to a battery operated platform (batteries included as well. That's rare!) After a while, though, the novelty wears off a bit. It's not bad but there's just so many times you can press the button and see the book rise because you get tired of it.

You hold in your hands an electronic storage vault that contains the last known copy of "The Jedi Path," a training manual with a long, rich history - especially considering all the famous people who have owned it in the past! And now, it is yours to peruse, to seek knowledge of The Force and start on your path to Jedihood. Or not . . . because it's not an easy path to tread. Below are details of what you can expect. As with the TBHC this book is meant as a guide. In this case, for aspiring young students of the Force. And just like TBHC this book is a wonderful collection of texts, illustrations, and annotations by famous characters from the Star Wars Universe. But this was too much even for me. It hits a level of detail that often left me lost, and I found it a little tedious even though it's an easy read. I've never lost Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, but that's because the game I have pertains to the original trilogy movies, and has only a few expanded universe book questions thrown in, and the movies is where my base of knowledge lies. This book touches on stuff in the movies, but is mostly related to expanded universe matters which comes from books, video games, and, I believe, some fan fiction.

One more thing of note: This is presented as a kind of training manual for Jedi padawans, but it's not realistic in that capacity. There's too much levity in the text itself, and it comes across as conversational in tone. This is not something I would expect from a textbook or any kind of book one would give to a student. This narrows the target audience even further for now you need someone who is passionate about the canon for its knowledge yet willing to not take it too seriously, and just how many super fanboys do you find who are built like that? I'm super serial here; I've seen the most passionate arguments on Star Wars message boards about things I couldn't begin to follow. One I saw just after Revenge of the Sith came out was about Mace Windu's lightsaber style, something called Vaapad which is briefly mentioned in this book, and why he was able to hang with the Emperor while every other Jedi was taken out like they learned their lightsaber skills from a single tee-ball practice. I imagine the participants in this discussion looked something like this: With the push of a button, the doors of the vault open in a wash of light and Star Wars sound effects. The inner platform rises, revealing this exclusive edition of The Jedi Path . If I stand up I can also reach all six books of William Shakespeare's two Star Wars trilogies, a Momaw Nadon action figure, and Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle. In a similar situation to Davits Draven, Jan Dodonna is stated to be alive post-Hoth despite his death in Star Wars (2015) 55. Similarly, the comic book's timeline of events takes priority, and the contradiction is planned to be fixed in later reprints of Star Wars: The Rebel Files. [10]

The book's in-universe history is that it is the third edition of a Jedi training guide, printed in 115 BBY, and survived the Great Jedi Purge in the possession of Darth Sidious. It was recovered by Squib salvagers near the remains of Byss, and given to Luke Skywalker.

I also appreciate that Bird notes multiple times that the films are inspiration but not gospel, and that if an idea presented in the films is either unhealthy or unworkable in the real world, that there are very sensible ways to keep the “spirit” of those concepts while living in the real world. This, like many of them, is a book for people curious about, or just starting out on the path. That said, however, this is probably the best “meat and potatoes” book for starting out on the path that I’ve read.
