Review: William Shakespeare’s “Star Wars” (Audiobook)

by

Seeming like a gag gift to get for people like me — where you know that we like Star Wars but you’re not sure what exactly we already possess in our collection — William Shakespeare’s Star Wars is an audiobook full of surprising quality and intelligence that should delight any fan of The Bard or of the Beard of George Lucas.

Review: “Star Wars: Red Harvest”

by

Following the success of last year’s “Death Troopers,” “Red Harvest” gives us another zombie/”Star Wars” mash-up.

This time instead of zombies attacking and eating the brains of storm troopers, it’s the Jedi taking on zombies.

Review: “Star Wars: Death Troopers” by Joe Schreiber

by

In the limitless reaches of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, it’s quite shocking to consider that zombies do not appear more often. Well, until now. In Death Troopers, the horror of the undead is brought to the population of an Imperial prison barge, in particular two young brothers, the chief medical officer, and a couple familiar faces I won’t spoil.

Review: “Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: A Novel of the Old Republic”

by

I’m a sucker for Star Wars books. After reading Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command) captured the frenetic, everything-is-happening-at-the-same-time pacing of the original Star Wars trilogy and provided an engaging story to boot, I bought any post-Return of the Jedi book I could get my hands on.

Review: “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” by Matthew Stover

by

The opening of the final chapter of the Star Wars Saga begins on a fast-paced note, and rarely slows down until the very end. All of us old-time Star Wars fans know exactly how things turn out, but what we’ve never known was how events progressed in that direction; until Episode II, we never knew just how much of the bigger picture was manipulated by Darth Sidious.

In this story, we learn how much has been manipulated, how long the pieces have been in play, and how they all come together in the end.
