Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Michael A. Stackpole, one of the acclaimed masters of imaginative fiction, comes a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars universe, the story of Corran Horn, a heroic X-wing pilot who faces the greatest challenge of his life: trying to come to terms with his Jedi heritage and learning to use the Force--without succumbing to the dark side.

Corran Horn was an officer in the Corellian Security Force before casting his lot with the New Republic. As the grandson of a legendary Jedi hero, he has latent Force powers that have yet to be developed. But he has managed to distinguish himself with Rogue Squadron, the X-wing fighter force that has become the scourge of the Empire and of the pirates that prey on Republic shipping.

When a new pirate band begins terrorizing the space lanes, Rogue Squadron seems at last to have met its match. Led by an ex-Moff in an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the pirates appear uncannily aware of the squadron's plans and tactics, and are able to detect and escape even the cleverest ambushes. Either there is a security leak...or the pirates have access to a dark and unnatural power that only a trained Jedi could contend with.

Then Corran's wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission to locate the pirates' secret base, and Corran vows to find her. He begins Jedi training at the Jedi academy, hoping to develop his untapped powers. But as he grows dissatisfied with Luke Skywalker's methods, he will break with the academy before his training is finished.

Calling on his Corellian undercover experience, he infiltrates the pirate organization. His plan is daring and dangerous. He will learn what he can, sabotage what he can, and use every means possible to find his wife. And his very survival may depend on a terrible choice--whether or not to surrender to the dark side.

I, Jedi brings listeners into the startling, dramatic journey of a young man with a wild talent who must somehow master those powers within...or be destroyed by them.

Critic reviews

"Stackpole adds many engaging details and minor characters of his own to the Star Wars universe and puts his skill at telling a fluid action story on full display here. This novel will play well among the loyal fans and can be enjoyed even by non-fans with a taste for star-faring swashbucklers." (Publishers Weekly)

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.

Force Sound Effects Hurt

Intensity of sound effects in several areas needs to be lowered, the first time where they play the “force” sound effect I had to lower the volume to the point on not hearing anything. Other than that, decent enough story.

Way too abridged

Would you try another book from Michael A. Stackpole and/or Anthony Heald?

I love both the author and the performer. I grew up with their books and their narration, respectively. I've read the book probably 15 times. I'd buy another one of these in a heartbeat.

However, whoever edited the book for abridging made some really terrible calls, in my opinion. They cut out a lot of the fantastic characterization that Stackpole is known for in favor of fight scenes, which lack significance without really understanding the motivation. Leaving the whole Gantoris subplot really diminished the threat of Exar Kun; removing most of the character scenes from the Survivor subplot had very similar effects. When Corran finally faces Remart, it's hard to care.

Jedi Ring Tone

Token wish it wasn’t abridged. But great story otherwise. Sound effects were subpar for how good this could’ve been. The old Motorola ring tone sound effect every time Corran uses the force lol. Still wouldn’t put AH in the top 5. Not even close. Luke and Corran sound so similar it’s like a serious of run-on sentences.

bad narration

the narrator Anthony healed skipped over parts of the book so the story was not as good and well defined as it should have been if it was told as a whole instead of chopped up in pieces like it is

abridged didn't make sense

This story jumps around a bit and to sort Hopefully the unabridged version of the book is better.

Short but sweet

Good book. the performer's voice didn't sit well with me 100%, but it's a good book. Enjoyable Star Wars adventure and perspective on Jedi life and training. I was surprised how short it was!
