Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Volume 2: Dark Apprentice

De: Kevin J. Anderson

Narrado por: Anthony Heald

As the New Republic takes devastating losses in the ongoing war with the scattered remnants of the Empire, the galaxy's future depends on three small children, among them the Jedi twins, born to incredible powers and perils, as an extraordinary new saga unfolds.

While the New Republic struggles to decide what to do with the deadly Sun Crusher, a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo, the renegade Imperial Admiral Daala uses her fleet of Star Destroyers to conduct guerrilla warfare on peaceful planets. And now she threatens the watery homeworld of Admiral Ackbar.

But as the battle for a planet rages, an even greater danger emerges at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. A brilliant student delves dangerously into the dark side of the Force and unleashes the spirit of an ancient master of the evil order that warped Darth Vader himself. Working together, they may become an enemy greater than the New Republic has ever fought...and more powerful than even a Jedi Master can face.

EU gold!

The story is good and important enough to tolerate the abysmal narration. Read my review for the first book in the series for an in depth review of the narration.

Remake!

Story is great!
These 3 hour books are a joke! Star Wars franchise trying to squeak every single penny out of their story. pretty much a kick in the face to your fans!

The nerrator......... He obviously doesn't know anything about Star Wars due to the fact that he mispronounces so many Star Wars specific words. Why would you have someone that is not a Star Wars fan narrate your books?........Puzzling!

Could have been a 5 star but instead it's a 4.

it's short

I mean, I know it's abridged but 4 chapters?? I feel like the story ended in the middle of the second act.

Like listening to a movie!

Enjoy all the soundscapes and narrators voices. It’s an absolutely Great listen! Looking forward to the next one

Amazing story. horrible narration.

one of my favorite stories in the Star Wars universe. the abridgement makes it feel like the story was rushed and alot of smaller details are just ignored. if you can get over that AND Anthony Heald mispronouncing Palpatine, Exar Kuun, and especially coruscant...you may enjoy it. I gave it 3 stars over all because I love the story but the Narrator damn near killed me.

Too abridged

The narrator’s insistence on mis-pronouncing Coruscant & Palpatine are utterly obnoxious. The whole thing is way too abridged, jumps around so much & can tell a whole lot is missing. Angry I wasted $ on it. I wonder why an unabridged version hasn’t been made on Audible.

Good novel, terrible audio book.

I have read the paperback novels for the entire trilogy. I must say that the audio books leave something to be desired. First off, I am not a fan of the narrator. To an avid Star Wars fan, he mispronounces words which I found incredibly annoying. This makes me wonder if the narrator has even seen the movies. Do yourself a favor and read this series, skip the audio book.

good for star wars fans

A good story and a decent performance of an abridged novel. not great but good for my yard work. if a star wars fan should check out

mispronounciations make me CRINGE

How do you mispronounce such common names as the Emperors', or known planets and sith lords', in addition the voices used for Han, Yoda, and others are horrible enough to make me wonder, HAS THIS NARRATOR EVER WATCHED STAR WARS?

Story is amazing, words are said wrong

The story is really really good but the words they say like Cor-uh-skant CORE-uh-sant and Haan as almost Ham its almost cringe worthy.
