Reviews
Here you can read reviews
of various Star Wars books, movies, and videogames. Note that not only are the
reviews subject to change, but so are even my ratings. As I read more and more,
I may get a better sense of what's really good and what's not quite up-to-snuff.
All ratings are based on a five-star system, with one star for some really bad
thing, three stars for an okay thing, and five stars for one of the best things
I've ever seem, read, or played. Be warned: I tend to love all Star Wars
stuff, so if you want, knock a star off each rating to account for my probable
bias. ;-)
Beware of some spoilers
in the movie reviews!

Movies
Episode I: The Phantom
Menace This is where it all began! Well, kind
of... I saw Episode I six times in theaters, and loved it each time.
Episode II: Attack of the Clones
From the battlegrounds of Geonosis to the cloners of
Kamino, Episode II sees the beginning of the epic Clone Wars. After seeing it
six times in theaters, click to see what I thought.
Episode III:
Revenge of the Sith It's out! Read my review of the final installment
in the epic Star Wars saga. (Or, from a certainly point of view, the middle
installment. Your call.)
Episode IV:
A New Hope I saw this old classic
twice in theaters, plus many more times since in the comfort of our own home. See what I thought
of it.
Episode V: The
Empire Strikes Back Most people call this their favorite out of all the
Star Wars movies. Find out why.
Episode VI:
Return of the Jedi Yub yub! Read my review of the exciting conclusion to
the Star Wars saga.
Books
The Approaching Storm
See what I though of this book, which takes place
immediately before Episode II.
Shatterpoint
Read my review of this book, which takes place 6
months after Star Wars: Episode II.
Showdown at Centerpoint
Learn about this book, which take place eighteen
years after the original Star Wars.
Hand of Thrawn
Duology
Fifteen years after Return of the Jedi, the New Republic is on the brink of
Civil War -- with a dead Imperial warlord making matters even worse. Read my
review here.
Star Wars: The
New Jedi Order -- Star by Star It has been twenty-five years since Luke
blew up the first Death Star in the original Star Wars. The Empire is no longer
a threat. An invading alien species known as the Yuuzhan Vong, however, most
certainly is.
Star Wars: The New Jedi Order -- Enemy Lines
Duology Coruscant has fallen, and
the New Republic is determined to strike back at the Yuuzhan Vong.
Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil The
best book I've ever read. At least, close. VERY close.
Videogames
Battlefront Play the greatest
battles of the entire Star Wars saga, on any side, in any way you want. Sounds
fun, doesn't it? Trust me -- it is.
Jedi Knight: Jedi
Academy See what I think of the fourth
-- and final? -- game in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series that lets you wield
one of the coolest weapons in cinematic history: the Jedi lightsaber.
Knights of the Old Republic I & II These
two games are only the second- and third-ever
Star Wars role-playing videogames, and they're the first to ever appear on a
videogame console. See what I thought of these masterpieces.
