 This was a little difficult to start. Something about the writing style. But once I was able to adjust it turned out to be a rather interesting story. After a dire warning from a former acquaintance of Han's, he and Leia go to planet to look for what he was warning about. It was the planet where the children of the Jedi were supposed to have been hiding. Meanwhile, one of Luke's jedi students, who is mostly a droid, has visions of coordinates, which takes them to a giant asteroid that almost shoots them down, but they land on a nearby planet. From there the asteroid, which turns out to be a decades old ship run by AI on a mission to destroy the children of the jedi, which started before the emperor was destroyed. Luke and his companions get picked up by this ship and some of them are brainwashed into thinking they have a mission to destroy the jedi. On board with many different creatures, Luke must find a way to stop the ship.

Pretty good story overall. I enjoyed it.
