Several characters have annotated the text, and some have even gone on to comment on the remarks of others. Some of the Emperor’s responses were very amusing. This is all well and good, but the problem is that this book actually exists. The idea behind this is that the book passed through the hands of many Jedi and eventually into the Emperor’s possession; it went from Yoda to Anakin to the Emperor to Luke Skywalker. The Emperor has crossed out the part of the book that marks the coming of the chosen one and the destruction of the dark side, so why would he not destroy the book completely?

Customer reviews

If I stand up I can also reach all six books of William Shakespeare's two Star Wars trilogies, a Momaw Nadon action figure, and Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle. I was pleased to see as well that Wallace is drawing upon various EU sources, including books written for children (which I read as a kid). It brought a smile to my face seeing such nostalgic references . . . but then again, I was smiling throughout most of reading this book. The text, the illustrations, the notes--all gorgeous and insightful.

The Jedi Path: Vault Edition" is highly recommended for dedicated "Star Wars" fans of any age who want a little something extra-cool for their library, especially if you're a self-avowed übergeek like me. Now, if they would do a similar tome for the Sith, I'd be all over that like tattoos on Darth Maul! After reading "The Bounty Hunter Code" (TBHC after this) from the same series as this book I was hoping this book would be a bit better. TBHC was fun, but too stale and dry for my taste. I was expecting "The Jedi Path" to be much more philosophical, since Jedi are much more spiritual than bounty hunters. So, did this book do its job?I also appreciate that Bird notes multiple times that the films are inspiration but not gospel, and that if an idea presented in the films is either unhealthy or unworkable in the real world, that there are very sensible ways to keep the “spirit” of those concepts while living in the real world. In a similar situation to Davits Draven, Jan Dodonna is stated to be alive post-Hoth despite his death in Star Wars (2015) 55. Similarly, the comic book's timeline of events takes priority, and the contradiction is planned to be fixed in later reprints of Star Wars: The Rebel Files. [10]

One more thing of note: This is presented as a kind of training manual for Jedi padawans, but it's not realistic in that capacity. There's too much levity in the text itself, and it comes across as conversational in tone. This is not something I would expect from a textbook or any kind of book one would give to a student. This narrows the target audience even further for now you need someone who is passionate about the canon for its knowledge yet willing to not take it too seriously, and just how many super fanboys do you find who are built like that? I'm super serial here; I've seen the most passionate arguments on Star Wars message boards about things I couldn't begin to follow. One I saw just after Revenge of the Sith came out was about Mace Windu's lightsaber style, something called Vaapad which is briefly mentioned in this book, and why he was able to hang with the Emperor while every other Jedi was taken out like they learned their lightsaber skills from a single tee-ball practice. I imagine the participants in this discussion looked something like this: This fall, just in time for the holiday season, Lucasfilm announces the release of Star Wars: The Imperial Handbook, the latest artifact to come from inside the Star Wars universe. From the book producers who unearthed The Jedi Path and Book of Sith comes the newest book from a galaxy, far, far away...a guide for Commanders of the Imperial Military. Christopher Bird does an excellent job of breaking the ideas of the path down three simple and clear ideas (referred to as pillars) and building every new concept on top of them in a way that the book feels cumulative rather than simply covering parts of a whole.

With these two titles, students of the Force can study and more fully understand the complex powers of good and evil. The ancient Masters who wrote the text: Fae Coven, Grand Master and head of the Jedi Council; Crix Sunburris, Jedi Ace starfighter pilot; Restelly Quist, Jedi Chief Librarian; Skarch Vaunk, Jedi Battlemaster and lightsaber expert; Bowspritz, Jedi Biologist and expert on the Living Force; Sabla-Mandibu, Jedi Seer and Holocron expert; Morrit Ch'gally, Jedi recruiter; Gal-Stod Slagistrough, Jedi leader of the Agricultural Corps.The Shien variant basic posture is a balanced position with a two-handed grip of the lightsaber above user’s head – a posture we’ve seen in a few movies and in a lot of Star Wars computer games. While known to be an aggressive form in general, it was practiced by great many Jedi. Nachdem der Preis nun doch auf ein akzeptables Maß (für DIESEN Artikel, NICHT für die anderen der Reihe) gefallen ist, habe ich ihn mir gegönnt. Yes, it's geeky, yes, it's over the top, but it's commitment to realism is so impressive, you simply give in to it. It's sincerity, it's attention to detail, it's prose, it's beautifully archaic style parchment printed paper, it's wonderfully elaborate detailed drawings and paintings, it's technically stylised schematics, just bowled me over! It continues to further impress me with every reading!
