Star Wars: The Living Force

By: John Jackson Miller

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

In the year before The Phantom Menace, Yoda, Mace Windu, and the entire Jedi Council confront a galaxy on the brink of change.

The Jedi have always traveled the stars, defending peace and justice across the galaxy. But the galaxy is changing, and the Jedi Order along with it. More and more, the Order finds itself focused on the future of the Republic, secluded on Coruscant, where the twelve members of the Jedi Council weigh crises on a galactic scale.

As yet another Jedi Outpost left over from the Republic’s golden age is set to be decommissioned on the planet Kwenn, Qui-Gon Jinn challenges the Council about the Order’s increasing isolation. Mace Windu suggests a bold response: All twelve Jedi Masters will embark on a goodwill mission to help the planet and to remind the people of the galaxy that the Jedi remain as stalwart and present as they have been across the ages.

But the arrival of the Jedi leadership is not seen by all as a cause for celebration. In the increasing absence of the Jedi, warring pirate factions have infested the sector. To maintain their dominance, the pirates unite, intent on assassinating the Council members. And they are willing to destroy countless innocent lives to secure their power.

Cut off from Coruscant, the Jedi Masters must reckon with an unwelcome truth: While no one thinks more about the future than the Jedi Council, nobody needs their help more than those living in the present.

Great for the obscure Jedi

I loved how every Jedi was written. It has made me really love the Jedi we didn’t get to see in the clone wars television show

awesome story and love the voiceover

loved the story. keeps you interested. the voice over is professionally done with a mind toward the characters both existing and new.

Very good reader.

Seems to not understand Jedi values at all. Very many moments that made no sense.

Great Star Wars Story!

This was a Star Wars story every fan should have in their library. The action is jammed packed with excitement and good character stories. Definitely one of the best!

Good prequel-level story for already established characters

Good story. Would have liked a story that pertains to Qui-Gon and Obiwan that would see them leading up to the events of Episode 1, but this is none the less a good story that highlight each Jedi council member and what it means to be a Jedi.

Star Wars: The Living Force

Exciting story during the time-frame a few years before Star Wars I - The Phantom Menace.

Yoda, Yaddle, Mace Windu, Sifo-Dyas, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi and many more all star in this adventure where the Jedi will have to team up with the Republic army when Outposts are being decomissioned but also pirates are teaming-up and attacking Jedi and the people of a planet.

The main villain was abandoned by the Jedi (by Master Sifo-Dyas) and wants to take revenge on the Jedi by killing as many of them as possible.

wow.... nothing happens

well the whole book is about how we should just be nice to people. while true, not exactly interesting reading.

Jedi council

really enjoyed this one. love the fact that the Jedi council gets out there with the people.

The Good Book

This book made me feel good about life and it should be read by all.

Fun story for lesser explored council members

The narrative jumped around a bit much and there was a lot going on, but overall it was an enjoyable listen for Star Wars fans that explored the stories of lesser known Jedi council members in the current canon.
