These three books rule! If you enjoy the core cast of characters (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando, etc.) then these books are for you. They are ALL action, not a lot of boring political stuff, like in some of the other authored STAR WARS books. Very fast reading, so you'd better get all three. I wish Anderson would have wrote three more! The six T. Zahn S.W. books are pretty good too, but they tend to drag at times. These three Anderson books will never bore you, they rule! :-)

Champions of the Force is the last book in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. It was written by Kevin Anderson and released in softcover format by Bantam Books in 1994. Champions of the Force concludes Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy Trilogy which began with Jedi Search and built up to the cliffhanger ending at the end of Dark Apprentice before delivering the payoff in this novel. Luke Skywalker lies comatose in the Jedi Academy hanging between life and death, the result of a battle with the spirit of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord whose spirit has corrupted Kyp Duron, Luke's most powerful student, and led him on the path to the Dark Side of the Force. Luke reaches out to Jacen and Jaina Solo, his nephew and niece for their help. Meanwhile, Luke's sister, Leia Organa-Solo, has a fight of her own, as she races to the planet Anoth to rescue her youngest son Anakin Solo before Imperial forces can destroy the young Jedi child. Kyp Duron is using the Sun Crusher to destroy star systems loyal to the Empire, which he believes to be a noble cause, but this is a heinous act which will continue to have impact decades after the end of this story. Admiral Daala is still seeking to strike at the New Republic, using her Death Star prototype. Other Star Wars favorites are included here--Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO and R2-D2. Champions of the Force is a superb finale to Kevin Anderson's excellent trilogy, and I recommend these books for all Star Wars enthusiasts. 5/5. This is a great book with a nice ending! It also introduces a number of locations, characters, and technology that are vital and important to the Expanded Universe. Even today's latest PC games (Empire at War) still reference "The Maw". Awesome! Latsyrhc Tamarack CollectiblesRead full review
