Book Description

Series: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Publication Date: May 6, 1998

Star Wars novelist Kevin J. Anderson takes us back to the Sith Empire's first salvo against the Republic!

The Sith Empire has rallied its forces for an all-out battle for control of the galaxy. Their goal: crush the Republic. And with so many Sith masters amongst them, the goal is not unachievable. As Naga Sadow readies his fleet to attack, one lone person threatens to undermine the entire campaign -- Jori Daragon. She isn't a Jedi. She doesn't come from a military background or have a history of fighting. She's an explorer, a mapper of hyperspace who stumbled on the plans of the Sith. And she just may be the savior of the Republic. Star Wars novelist Kevin J. Anderson continues the adventures of a time before the Clone Wars, before the Death Star, and before the rise of the Empire.

1.0 out of 5 stars Isn't there supposed to be a point?, August 13, 2001

This review is from: Fall of the Sith Empire (Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi) (Paperback)

Once again, I state that I've never been an Anderson fan. 'Golden Age of the Sith' had some streong points, like a decent plot and beautiful art. Alas, the art quality drops a bit here and the story goes into a nosedive. There's almost no plot, save for a big battle. Granted, it can be pretty visually complex and interesting, drawing back to an old style of combat, but overall its quite lacking.

I've gotten out a fine-toothed comb, but cannot find any cohesive story, unfortunately. Read it only as a conclusion for 'Golden Age', but don't expect a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed conclusion to The Golden Age of the Sith, June 8, 2000

This review is from: Fall of the Sith Empire (Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi) (Paperback)

If you liked The Golden Age of the Sith but wanted much more action, this is the perfect addition for you to read. It concludes the events in its predecessor with great storytelling and it's jam-packed with action. This is one of the best stories in the Star Wars universe, with several conflicts occurring at once. You'll also discover an age where everything was primitive by Star Wars standards and Coruscant looked like a large Egyptian city. This TPB continues Dark Horse's tradition of classic action-packed stories combined with descriptive and entertaining illustrations. A must-have, but make sure you read The Golden Age of the Sith first!

3.0 out of 5 stars O.K. visuals, story a little lacking, August 22, 2005

This review is from: Fall of the Sith Empire (Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi) (Paperback)

This TBP is the second in the Tales of the Jedi story, if you are going chronologically in star wars time. It takes place a 1,000 years before the original Tales of the Jedi, and takes place a week or so after "Golden Age of the Sith". Out of the "TOTJ" series, it is one of the worst, but still better than most of the TBP's out there. I reccommend it for people trying to complete their TOTJ collection, not for a stand-alone read.
