Summary: Star Bores
Comment: I am currently focing myself to read the third book in this uninspired trilogy. I won't go into story details, but it seems that the characterizations are off. Han Solo is reduced to being a baby sitter, Luke is a weakminded man with a mid-life crisis,who bows to every whim of his shadowy traveling partner,and the princess is a grump who doesn't like anybody.Aside from the characterizations, these books are boring.They read like a technical manual.The books are full of technical details,political manuevering, and military protocal, but almost no story, or substance.

Summary: Boring, Boring, Boring..... and inconsistant!
Comment: The one word that characterizes all the books of the Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy? BORING!!!!!!!!!! The book moves too slowly and is simply too inconsistant. Luke Skywalker runs off to become a hermit at Darth Vader's old retreat rejecting his Academy, his family and pretty everything else. Only a mysterious woman who is able to enter his stronghold induces Luke to leave with promises about his lost mother. Leia is shown much more as the Chief of State, an idea that did have merit, while Han Solo is shown more as the family man. The problem is, is that the story moves so slowly. The characterizations are weak: Princess Leia, the people's leader refuses to learn the names of her bodyguards preferring to ignore their existance. That is totally contrary to Princess Leia, Han Solo is done all right but that is because he really has nothing to do. Luke is done terribly. The Black Fleet crisis marks the epitome of stupid Jedi power Luke. It took Zahn coming back into the fold to save the expanded universe after the Black Fleet Debacle. The Lando adventure has possibilities but it too drops by the wayside due to just too much non-sensical writing. Perhaps this story should have been a one or two book set not a trilogy, at time it feels like the auther was just trying to fill space. In any event, this book needed some major editing and marked a dark period of Star Wars literature that not even the Jedi Academy Trilogy (horrible as it was)reached.
