Publisher's summary

How long can the Jedi remain in power? How far will the Sith go to rule supreme? What chance do both stand against Abeloth?

As Luke and Ben Skywalker pursue the formidable dark-side being Abeloth, the Lost Tribe of the Sith is about to be sundered by an even greater power - which will thrust one Dark Lord into mortal conflict with his own flesh-and-blood.

On Coruscant, a political vacuum has left tensions at the boiling point, with factions racing to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Suddenly surrounded by hidden agendas, treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must struggle to keep the GA government from collapsing into anarchy.

The Jedi are committed to maintaining peace and ensuring just rule, but even they are not prepared to take on the combined threats of Sith power, a deposed dictator bent on galaxywide vengeance, and an entity of pure cunning and profound evil hungry to become a god.

Featured Article: Bright Suns! On Star Wars, Fandom, and a Trip to the Galaxy's Edge


There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Doesn't Disappoint

still a good story. Feeling a bit drawn out and was only one book left you know things are going to come to a rushed conclusion.

Greatest Narrator of all time!

I love all things Star Wars, and I've listened to every audiobook available, but Marc Thompson makes the difference. His ability to audibly define every single character is superb!

another lovely book

the ending, I felt the pain and sorrow. thr narrator, one of my favorites. although at times I could not pick the voices but still I heard and felt their voices and presence and the descriptions of the environments etc transported me to those places with them. thank you to all involved in this work. I wish you blessings and favor for the joy and entertainment you have provided me. MTFBWYA

Full series review

I know I’m jaded but....

The Fate of the Jedi series delivers on everything you’d expect from a great story. Luke Skywalker along with his son Ben, set out to solve a simple mystery. Why did Jacen fall? And then....so much greatness happens. EU threads I’d forgotten about (Calista for one) are resolved in a fluid and natural way. Every single character has a unique personality (flaws and all). My favourite character Saba Sebatyne gets to shine in this series. Although she’s not the only one. Almost every EU character gets a role. (The ones they miss have Mercy Kill). And Aboloth is seriously effing scary. The chapter in Apocalypse where they connect Aboloth with The Father Son and Daughter from Mortis (a three arc in the Clone Wars show) chills me after every reread. 10/10.
PS Disney you own the rights. I’d buy every unabridged Legends novel. And I do mean ALL of them. I gave the new stuff a shot and am not a fan. So....$$$$$$$ for you if you do.

Great book

Leads up to what I expect to be an awesome ending. The narration is amazing as always from Marc and he helps set you right in the fray with his great impersonations of the various characters.
