I, Jedi
by Michael A. Stackpole
I love Stackpole’s X-Wing series and Corran Horn is one of my favorite characters. I, Jedi relates the events that take place at the Jedi Academy – the same events in Kevin J. Anderson’s Jedi Academy Trilogy - from Horn’s point of view. So save yourself from lazy writing by ignoring Anderson’s trilogy and just reading Stackpole’s novel. But I, Jedi is more than just a rehash – albeit a much better retelling – of the JAT; it centers around Horn’s search for his missing wife.
This is the first, and I believe only novel in the Star Wars Expanded Universe told in first person, which is an interesting choice on Stackpole’s part. It made me like Horn a little less because he comes off as pretty arrogant, but that seems to be part of his fighter pilot ego/mentality. He’s also condescending, most notably to Luke, which was off-putting.
The novel seemed to drag towards the end, but it was OK. Did I say that it’s much better than the JAT?
