Star Wars: Rogue Planet

De: Greg Bear

Narrado por: Michael Cumpsty

Master and apprentice.

The Force is strong in 12-year-old Anakin Skywalker...so strong that the Jedi Council, despite misgivings, entrusted young Obi-Wan Kenobi with the mission of training him to become a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan - like his slain master, Qui-Gon - believes Anakin may be the chosen one, the Jedi destined to bring balance to the Force. But first Obi-Wan must help his undisciplined apprentice, who still bears the scars of slavery, to find his own balance.

Dispatched to the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot, source of the fastest ships in the galaxy, Obi-Wan and Anakin are swept up in a swirl of deadly intrigue and betrayal. They sense a disturbance in the Force unlike any they have encountered before. It seems there are more secrets on Zonama Sekot than meet the eye. But the search for those secrets will threaten the bond between Obi-Wan and Anakin - and bring the troubled young apprentice face-to-face with his deepest fears - and his darkest destiny.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is a typical Star Wars audio, distinguished by evocative audio effects, background noises, and glorious music, as well as the skill of a reader who grasps the intonations and melodies of the Star Wars universe." (AudioFile)

ABRIDGED story

Enjoyable experience, but I did not realize it was abridged. It feels obvious in hindsight with how quickly the plot was moving. Well done regardless.

A good gap filler

This is a good gap filler that shows Anakin's progress in the Jedi Order and tells a good story. I enjoyed Micheal Cumpsty's performance and the music and sound effects are always great in these Star Wars Novels.

Great insight into a young Anakin and Obi Wan

This book does a great job examining a conflicted and struggling Anakin. The performance wasn't the best but the story was fun.

Not so good

I didn't understand most of it but it was a good story that is my review

Pretty cool planet

Cool planet to discover but WAY too short. I never got ATTACHED to the characters anymore than I already am. Good book just not riveting story. I wouldn't read again.

Ehhh...

This book was difficult to finish. It doesn't really add to the whole Star Wars story. The narrator didn't make some of the characters disgusted enough. A couple points during the story, I had trouble figuring out who was actually talking.

That being said there are a couple little interesting tidbits here. The biggest one for me was the planet Anakin and Obi-Wan travel to and find out how these mysterious ships are made. Also (not really a spoiler) if you're a Tarkin fan, he's in the story as well.

If this book was unabridged, I'm sure it would have been a more enjoyable experience.

slow, but interesting.

the book was slow, but not uninteresting. the biggest issue was it abrupt end. almost like ran out of time and just quickly came up with a explanation of how the end played out.

Narrator

I’m not a fan of this narrator. A lot of the time I find myself struggling to know who is speaking and what emotions to feel. Great story but the reader made me want to just finish this book as fast as possible.

Still Amazing (but short) After All This Time

The story was amazing, the performance was wonderful, as all Legends retellings are. My sole complaint is that it was so short 😔

But, it is DEFINITELY worth a credit or a buy for fans of the franchise 👍🏾

Worst yoda voice. ever.

The narrator really did a poor job on his voices which made it difficult to follow also the book kind of fizzles out before it begins. sort of answers some of the questions on what we want to know about anakin at this age but leaves more to be desired.
