Ilustration As Books Darkest Knight (Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights #5)

We're already very familiar with Jacen and Jaina's family, and we've met Tenel Ka's family in Lightsabers, so now it's Lowbacca's turn. His sister is about to undergo a rather dangerous rite of passage and he's worried that she'll try to do it alone and get herself killed. So, our group of friends take their purloined Shadow Academy shuttle to Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld, where we meet Lowie's family. Well, the rest of his family - we already knew his uncle, the famous Chewbacca.

Naturally, this can't just be a nice, family visit. Lowie's sister has her rite of passage coming up, which takes place in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk and is filled with dangerous animals and plants. And then there's the Shadow Academy up to its usual mischief, sending Zekk on a mission to Kashyyyk to steal some parts they need for something evil and to take out Jacen and Jaina if he can. Since this is book 5 of 14 of a series meant for young adults, it's no spoiler that he doesn't kill off the main characters, but they still have to deal with the fact that their friend has turned to the dark side and is now actively trying to kill them.

I don't much like Zekk. And not just because he chose the dark side. So his friends didn't notise that he could use the Force. They may be powerful, but they're hardly Jedi masters, barely trained in how to use it themselves, so of course they missed his Force abilities. Turning to the dark side and trying to kill them seems a bit of an overreaction to me. I understand wanting to take advantage of newly discovered abilities and to find your own place in the galaxy, but I just can't relate to the way he goes about it. I assume he'll figure out that this path isn't really for him pretty quickly in the next few books. Maybe I'll like him better then?

The underworld of Kashyyyk was definitely interesting. Even without the threat of the Shadow Academy and Lowie's sister's rite of passage, the underworld is exciting and dangerous enough by itself and our Jedi trainees need to use all of their wits and skills to not die when they inevitably head down there. Each of them has their own strengths that are put to the test and they all rise to the challenge, wanting to protect their friends and family. Even Jacen, master of the stupid 'dad' jokes that make no one laugh, let alone serious Tenel Ka, means business when confronted with genuine danger.

We meet the 'Emperor' of the Second Imperium. I'm not sure whether I think he's a clone, or someone disguising themselves as the Emperor, or what, but I'm rather certain that I don't think it's the actual Emperor Palpatine somehow returned. That would be a bit more serious than a teen series warrants, but perhaps I'll find out I'm wrong in the next book, which will probably see Yavin 4 attacked by the Shadow Academy, as per Zekk's warning to Jaina.

Assessment Epithetical Books Darkest Knight (Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights #5)

The Jedi trainees go to Kashyyyk, where they hope to help Lowbacca's younger sister complete a dangerous rite of passage. I liked the insight into the Wookie culture, and it helped differentiate Lowbacca for me, who I'd previously passed over.

Another episode in the Star Wars saga.

Pretty good. I really like Kashyyyk as a setting. Good setup for the final book.

F AND yjk bk. 5Based on Star WarsScience Fiction

This was maybe a 4.5 star book, but I didn't feel like it was as good as book 4. It didn't move me like that one did.With book #4 being about Tenel Ka and Hapes, it was obvious that there would be an issue on Lowbacca and Kashyyyk.We didn't have to wait long.But first, there is adorableness from Anakin Solo, as he sent a holomessage to Tenel Ka on a method he developed that would allow her to properly braid her hair with one hand.The message comes with Han and Chewie - the latter whom plans on

Five stars for Wookies and Kashyyyk.Also, Palpatine may or may not be real.

I read this whole series several times when I was a kid. These were a lot of fun and easy to read. They really helped me along my way to enjoy reading and becoming obessed with Star Wars. We meet alot of charaters that became close frinds to the reader. I feel Anderson was able to identify what a young adult would be lookig for in characters and hit it bullseye. Kudos for a great series.
