Star Wars The Clone Wars: Wild Space


I found Star Wars The Clone Wars: Wild Space entertaining, but parts of it annoying. It makes for an enjoyable audiobook listen, but there are better Star Wars books.

The book is a spin-off of the Clone Wars TV series. Even though I enjoyed the TV series, the story doesn't necessarily rise above it, and I expect more from a book. It feels like it is part of a mass produced series, and this doesn't inspire me to read more of the series.

The second thing that bothered me is the petty politics and bickering between Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi. This runs counter to what we know about these characters.

Finally, the main story about the Sith Holocron haunting Obi-Wan Kenobi did not seem logical. Bail Organa and Obi-Wan should have bailed at the first sign of trouble, instead of plunging into their likely destruction. Hearing "Die Jedi, Die Jedi, Die Jedi!" over and over was too annoying.

Rating: B
