Champions of the Force concludes the Jedi Academy trilogy, picking up where Dark Apprentice ended.
Luke Skywalker is alive in the spirit plane but unable to communicate with his students, who guard his body as they figure out what to do. Mon Mothma's illness continues, and there's a plot to steal Anakin, the youngest Solo. Meanwhile, Kyp Durron is still on the loose with the deadly Sun Crusher . . . can the fledgling New Republic pull through?
Unfortunately, the conclusion to the trilogy was also the weakest offering. Things continued at a lightning pace, and plot development/characterizations/dialogue continued to be poor (some minor characters were simply ridiculous). The overall pace was uneven, with several climaxes coming rather early in the book.
Overall, there were some good stories in this series, but they weren't delivered well, developed well, or integrated well with each other. It would have been stronger had it focused on a few of the stories.
Rating: C+
