3.0 out of 5 stars Above average conclusion to an above average trilogy, August 10, 2003

By	J. K. Moser "JKM" (Flemington, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The conclusion to the Corellian Trilogy is the best of the trilogy. The story really takes off and the action keeps the reader moving through the story at a good pace. All our heroes are in their prime ready to once again defeat the galaxy's evil. The biggest problem with this book is the ambiguity of the bod guys. Han Solo's cousin is just a front, and tis Triad are the real baddies but not much is really known or said about them. The author just kind of leaves them hangin so to speak. My other criticism deals with Anaking who is way to babyish in the beginnin gof the book and simply too sophisticated in the conclusion. OVerall however, this is a above average trilogy in the Star Wars universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellant conclusion to the trilogy., November 9, 2000

By	Rebecca Herman (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The secret of the mysterious installation the Solo children found on Corellia in the first book of this trilogy is out. It is a planetary repulsor, and their is one just like it on each of the other planets of the Corellian System. The planetary repulsors are an ancient system, used to bring the five planets of the system to their present location, most likely even before the Old Republic came to be. The repulsors can also be used as weapons of mass destruction - and all the various rebel groups in Corellia want to get a hold of them. The Solo children are in hiding with their Drall tutor Ebrihim, his aunt, Ebrihim's droid, and Chewbacca in the repulsor on Drall, where Anakin activates the repulsor, inadvertently letting their evil cousin Thracken know of their location, and the group is promptly captured. Lando and Luke are with the ships from Bakura, and Leia, Han, and Mara are desperately negotiating for the repulsor on Selonia, for it is the only thing that can stop another star from being forced to go nova by Centerpoint Station's mysterious technology. This was a thrilling conclusion to the Corellian Trilogy that I highly reccomend to Star Wars fans who enjoyed the other two books in the trilogy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get some quality control on these books!, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

Once again the lust for more easy profit from Star wars fans rears its ugly head. With this trilogy we get a somewhat tired tale where yet again the New Republic faces "Probably it's greatest threat ever." I am astounded that with all the threats the New Republic has overcome it is not yet strong enough to deal with a petty crook in less than three books. Why is it that the further away we get from Zahn and Andersson's books, the more backwards Luke and Leia's Jedi abilities seem to become. Surely this whole tale could have been shortened into one novel with a touch more ingenuity in the way the bad guys try to ruin/control the galaxy. Basically, this is not the worst Star Wars book you could read; but it almost is. Isn't it about time that Luke and Mara get it sorted and give us the patter of tiny Jedi?
