Yes "Secrets of the Jedi" comes out in March and is by Jude Watson, who does the Jedi Quest and Jedi Apprentice books. I think this is actually the "Legacy of the Jedi part 2". Should be excellent

Ah, ok sounds interesting. Right now I am on the Thrawn trilogy . Into "Dark Force Rising " Must say it is good reading. While "I Jedi"was at the top of my list this series is up there too. ;D

I have read both I, Jedi and the Thrawn Trilogy. I really like both, but I think Thrawn is my favorite. I, Jedi was great but it was hard for me to get the feel of the first person point of view, since I am more used the reading in a 3rd person perspective. The best part of I, Jedi (to me) is the details on how a lightsaber is constructed.

I, JEDI IS THE BEST d**n STAR WARS BOOK I'VE EVER READ.
*ahem*
lol. Sorry, I just love the book. That and the X-wing series are the reason why I love Corran Horn and why he's my favorite EU character, if not my favorite Star Wars character (I think Obi-Wan takes the cake though).
The first person perspective really allows you to see into his mind unlike most other Star Wars books. It's something intimate and it's great. The plot always has twists and its great to see a different perspective on Luke's academy. Great book!!! ;D

Where in the bookstores is this book located? I've tried to read just about all the SW books including the one for kids but sometimes not sure where they're going to put them. I have a Waldenbooks in my area.

It's in the sci fi section with teh other SW books. It is a novel, not a real handbook like the title here suggests. But it does give some good insights to the Jedi

Hey, it has been a while since anyone has posted, and I need to know something.... I am applying for full membership in the Assembly, and I am choosing to be a Corellian Jedi, so I can wear my green tunic. I loaned my copy of I, Jedi to my padawan... does anyone remember the page number for the green tunic?

Well, you might have found it by now, but on page 484 of I, Jedi is when Elegos gives Corran a green Jedi robe, a black belt and a black overrobe. It's just after he builds his lightsaber. I'm guessing that the green Jedi robe is just a long tunic like what Obi-Wan had on in ANH? It doesn't say anything about pants.

Hey, i just found this thread. This may be a bit late in comin, but the spacecraft on the back of the Spectre of the Past? I think u'll find it's the Sorosuub Preybird the Empire is replacin the TIE fighters with (Pellaeon aint best pleased with em though...) On the Corran dressing bit, ive seen pics with him wearin black trousers (sorry, Im British!), which i think looks quite good, so give that a go. One other thing. All u lot r sayin how wonderful I, Jedi is. I aint complainin, but it gets a bit annoyin when there's always a smarmy or heroic comment and the end of each chapter. Sorry, had 2 bring it up, ive read the X-wing series and I, Jedi so many times, i noticed it. And i prefer the Wraith Squadron adventures. So much more funny. Go, Aaron Allston!

Everyone made this book sound so great I went and bought it yesterday on ebay (brand new for under $5 buck, ;D). I can't wait for it to get here and start reading it. I don't read much of the New Republic stuff as I am a fan of the prequels, but everyones comments made me have to read it. I will let you know how it goes when I get down with it.

Yeah let us know... I think you'll enjoy it. I don't read much New Rep... It's more about the prequels for me also; more Jedi there!

I would suggest that if such a thread/forum was done it should contain quotes from the books where training was either illustrated, mentioned, remembered, or engaged in. That would encourage us to read (or re-read) the books.........
also: As I remember it there was alot contained in the first several series while Luke was feeling out who he was. The pre-Yavin Academy stuff up to its founding. That might also prove a good source for information on not only Force Powers, but how Luke either found out about them or discovered them.
