    About this audiobook

    Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protege Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win . . . even with Luke Skywalker at their side!

    • 4/5
      Champions of the Force is book three of the Jedi Academy Trilogy by Kevin James Anderson. I found it decent for an ending to the trilogy, although I felt that the antagonist was defeated too early in the novel. This novel, in my opinion, would fall under the same fantasy category as the Crystal Star, and Courtship of Princess Leia. Although some elements were bizarre, the Prototype Death Star and the Imperial Military Academy saved the novel overall. As a whole, the trilogy is worth reading.
    • 4/5
      Chapter 3 of the Jedi Academy Trilogy. A nice strong finish to a large collection of events. Things smoothly tie up at the end for those things which got started in the first chapter. Everything comes to a powerful, believable and enchanting closure. Things are also prepped for another series involving numerous of the characters. In fact there are several things I would like to see carried through: a romance, some weapons, certain people. I'm trying to be vague so as to not disclose the ending. The only negative thing that I have to say is that I got sick of all the straight homages/quotes from the movie. Things like Han Solo repeatedly saying "Don't quote me the odds" or references to Yoda's "There is no try. Do or do not." I know that Anderson was probably only doing that to help make the reader remember the characters better, but it began to get annoying. They started to sound like broken records instead. Other than that, these are enjoyable additions to the Star Wars universe.
    • 5/5
      In my opinion, Star Wars Champions Of The Force is the best of the trilogy. It ends very well and feels like Star Wars ought to.Kevin J. Anderson has also done another series with his wife, Rebecca Moesta. The series is called Star Wars Young Jedi Knights, which is for young adults and is my favorite series of all the Star Wars books I've read.I don't know why this book is so heavily criticized but it's one of my all time favorites (although it doesn't rank quite as high as Young Jedi Knights). I have always found Kevin J. Anderson's work appealing, there's something about his style that makes his Star Wars books impossible for me to put down. And so, despite what others may say, I'm a definite fan of this masterpiece and I highly recommend it.
    • 4/5
      Champions of the Force wraps up the Jedi Academy trilogy by Kevin Anderson, and it's a roller coaster ride for anyone who enjoys exploring the Star Wars expanded universe.For the most part I stopped reading Star Wars novels after this series. They grew too cyclical and redundant for my tastes—the point seemingly being to recreate the thrills of the original trilogy over and over again. No thanks. Been there, done that already. One exception: Star Wars video games. Love 'em.
    • 3/5
      Anderson wraps up his plotlines from the previous two books with a great deal of cinematic flair; I just wish the writing quality could match up. He's using themes that could be very dramatic, but without a proper buildup, they come across as cheesy.

      Why did I ever buy this one? I knew it was going to be bad after reading the first two. And now this author is meddling in the Dune series, which I categorically refuse to buy for that very reason.

      After Kyp turns evil, the Republic is pretty displeased with the Jedi. Eventually the Jedi apprentices rise up, Luke gets his body back, and Kyp turns back to the Light Side. But what I really remember about this book is the relationship between Wedge and the tormented scientist Qwi Xux. The smartest children of her planet were stolen and forced to create terrible weapons for the Empire; those who failed had to watch their homelands bombed into oblivion. After surviving this, Qwi is highly-strung and racked with guilt. But she still has a brilliant mind, and with Wedge's tender help she begins to become a person instead of just a problem-solving machine. The duo did not stay together, but I really liked the evolution of their romance.
