got the book for my son who loves star wars and he loved reading it. he also loved the new hope one too. it was fun for him to read the different stories. he is in third grade and it was a good level for him too.

I have read numerous Star Wars books and also plenty of Choose Your Own Adventure books, and while this book was good, it was somewhat unrealistic. I wish that they had let me be Luke or somebody, intead of this made up character that has no place in the Star Wars universe. Other than that though, it did a very good job of showing what it might have been like to be there, having those things happen to you and your friends. Also, it bothered me that that in this book they took way too many liberties with the character of "me". They made "me" a complete wimp who cares for nothing but Himself. Speaking of Himself, it also irritated me that they had to specify several times that "Me" is a boy. I happen to be a girl and I find that offensive! Besides those things though, it was a good book, but one that would definitely be best for those twelve and under.

I think there could have been more to this book. Sure, I did enjoy becoming Darth Vader's apprentice, but why couldn't I be the one who confronted Luke in Cloud City, or the one who discovered Leia had Jedi potential? I still, however, recommend this book to other readers.

This book was great! It was very hard to make the right decisions. Some of the endings were sad and some were terrible and some were great. I read the book straight through. I think you'll like it a lot.

I personally think it's improbable. I mean, we're all accustomed to just reading about Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and the droids. I like choose your own adventure books, but maybe Christopher Golden should have written them so you'd be Luke or another familiar character.
