Maybe it’s because there’s so much more going on in the novel, but it really didn’t feel like they were central to this volume (or previous ones, actually). I want to address the synopsis for a moment: Tahiri Veila’s court case, and the apparent verdict of public opinion are not sufficiently portrayed in the novel. In the meantime, the remaining members of the Jedi Order struggle against the verdict already reached in the court of public opinion, and execute an audacious plan to put a stop to Chief of State Daala’s increasingly hostile and tyrannical regime. The moment when the fate of the Jedi will be determined is close at hand, as the exiled Grand Master works to find a reason behind the madness afflicting the Jedi. While Luke and Ben Skywalker continue their exploration of the mystery known as Abeloth with their unlikely Sith ally, the galaxy is abuzz with the trial of former Jedi knight Tahiri Veila. The nine-book approach is still not my favourite format, but Fate of the Jedi continues to offer up enough action, amusement and great Star Wars fun to keep fans coming back for more. There are some spoilers, below, so if you haven’t read the first six books in the series and don’t want any surprises, you may want to proceed cautiously.Īllston has written a solid addition to the series and franchise (the second half was particularly great, after a bit of a slow start), and Conviction starts the final three-book mini-story-arc within the series quite well.

The Fate of the Jedi series continues, takes things up a notchĪs this is book seven in the series, I’ve structured the review a little differently.
