Luke is pretty well developed and sounds authentic.

Really? I found his character far too stoic and his dialogue horribly artificial and stilted.

I like the premise of the book but the execution leaves a lot wanting. If the book had just focused on Luke's journey to rebuilding the Jedi Order it would have been a lot better off.

Indeed. But KJA just has too shoehorn a ludicrous superweapon plot into each and every one of his major stories. After all, if the Empire built one superweapon (Or two, counting the second Death Star.), why wouldn't they build another? And if they were built, why wouldn't the Imperials use them? *rollseyes*

Ah, well. I guess this thread was just doomed to failure from the start.

I'll probably post in there whenever I get around to finishing another SW book.
