He’s an arrogant Jedi on the path to corruption.Īs on the opening volume, Chris Gossett bring mixed artistic blessings. This is otherwise a fast paced plot in broad strokes, playing out events already noted while establishing new character Exar Kun. They’ll cause no head scratching among those who don’t. These aren’t foreshadowing, but use of technology or dropping of names that some will pick up on.

Anderson already had several Star Wars novels under his belt, and Dark Lords of the Sith ups the little references to the Luke Skywalker era considerably.

Anderson, who takes over the series with The Sith War, and the differences in their styles is apparent. Tom Veitch is now co-writing with Kevin J. This is a concern to the Jedi gathered on Onderon, but underestimating the potential threat, they send relatively inexperienced Ulic Qel-Droma and the newly confident Nomi Sunrider to deal with the Krath. Satal and Aleema used those events to further their dark knowledge, and have returned to the Tetan system to spread their teachings, calling their organisation the Krath. A key element of Star Wars from the first films was the temptation the dark side always posed to the untrained Jedi mind, the seduction of power instead of principle, and that’s explored in Dark Lords of the Sith, which otherwise continues from events detailed in The Freedon Nadd Uprising.
