May The Forth Be With You: 'The Jedi Path' Review

Today is 4th of May... May the Fourth be with you - International Star Wars day. Staying with the theme is Star Wars: The Jedi Path review. The Jedi Path is the perfect gift or companion for any budding Padawan looking to know more about the lineage of The Jedi, and insight to many famous Jedi's such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and of course Luke Skywalker to name a few.


The book is a study book for The Jedi that has been passed down through the generations from many notorious characters from the Star Wars Universe. Thus, as a study book it shows force exercises, history of the force and it's wielders (using history from many of the video games set in the past such as 'The Old Republic').  Giving the reader a thorough understanding of the path and history of The Jedi- this is particularly useful if you've never had time to play through a lot of the RPG's (role playing games) such as the aforementioned Old Republic series.



The book itself uses hard car pages with jaggered sides in order to reflect and coincide with the idea that the book itself has been passed from Padawan's who grew to be some of the most powerful Jedi's on either side of the force down to you.  With annotations on majority of the pages from different Jedi's you can get an inside view of the internal and psychological events going on in a characters head. Such as Anakin Skywalker's curiosity with the Dark Side of the Force.  Filled with aesthetically pleasing images and Star Wars Terminology, this 'study guide' is highly accessible and feeds Star Wars fans' curiosity without difficulty with. This is actually an ideal gift for any Star Wars fan, at aged 6 or aged 60. With the multitude of levels this book can be view on it really is great for any fan of Star Wars or as an introduction for a new Padawan.

It should also be noted that the book deconstructs specific aspects and abilities of The Force along with roles, responsibilities and titles, these are elements of The Star Wars Universe that older readers and fans may be new to, however I feel this adds greater interest in the area without tarnishing the preconceived lineage.




With stories and images of ancient wars, training exercises for utilising the force and lightsabers, whilst an in depth glimpse into the psyche of the Universe's infamous Jedi Knights, this book was truly something else- a tribute to the mythology of Star Wars and its fundamental characters from every generation. As a review I would have to rate this book a solid ten out of ten.
