Synopsis

As the war between the Republic and the scattered  remnants of the Empire continues, two  children--the Jedi twins--will come into their powers in a  universe on the brink of vast changes and challenges.  In this time of turmoil and discovery, an  extraordinary new Star Wars saga  begins....

While Luke Skywalker takes the first  step toward setting up an academy to train a new  order of Jedi Knights, Han Solo and Chewbacca are  taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to  work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine. But  when Hans and Chewie break away, they flee  desperately to a secret imperial research laboratory  surrounded by a cluster of black holes--and go from  one danger to a far greater one....

On  Kessel, Luke picks up the trail of his two friends,  only to come face to face with a weapon so awesome,  it can wipe out an entire solar system. It is a  death ship called the Sun Crusher, invented by a  reclusive genius and piloted by none other than Han  himself...

This was the first Star Wars expanded universe book I ever read, and as mediocre as it is, it's primarily responsible for my obsession with Star Wars (and the EU) throughout my last two years of high school.

Goodreads review by DiscoSpacePanther on November 17, 2021

This was published way back in early 1994, when the nineties era Classic Star Wars Expanded Universe was already in full-swing, but had not yet become the avalanche it later developed into. I naturally picked it and the rest of the Jedi Academy trilogy up as soon as I could, being a glutton for Star......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on November 15, 2023

I think that I would give this a 3.5/5 stars. By no means was this bad, I enjoyed a lot of it.

This read like a typical Star Wars novel in that th......more
