Not my favorite trilogy but I do remember having more fun a second time through. Totally agree about the Jacen Jaina side story. Its a waste of time doesnt need to be there. Yeah Dalla was lame af but I found it amusing how bad she mismanaged things when going up against the sun crusher everytime.
It's been so long since I read this book that I'd forgotten just how mediocre it was. Adding to the unnecessary plots of the Jedi younglings adventures, and the incessant sabacc games, there's Han Solo taking Kyp Durron skiing in the polar regions of Coruscant (?) The Luke Skywalker depicted in this trilogy *isn't* the same as the intensely focused Jedi Master we saw in the Dark Empire series. Admiral Daala, I feel, was okay as the renegade Imperial - not every big bad can measure up to Grand Admiral Thrawn. What was interesting was the depiction of the relationship between Wedge Antilles and Qwi Xux - it's a shame the subsequent writers in the EU didn't pursue that - that's showing anti-alien bias right there. 😜
I enjoyed this trilogy. Thanks for the review.
