So embarassing haha so cute

1 star off because of 2 misinformation
1. Anakin left Padmé for the dark side - I know it's difficult to tell children things in details but twisting truth is far from simplification. Could have been said, the intention was good but the pressure from everyone and lack of food and rest drive a depressed gifted person into insanity. That's what happens when you don't eat and go to bed on time, kids (lol).
2. A few Jedi survived which Luke and Leia lead them - the author could mean "Rebels" or Old Republicans, because, none of the Jedi survived or those that did (Ahsoka) no longer identify themselves Jedi.

It was okay; it was kind of boring. I already knew everything in it, but I still like it a little.

This book will tell you who the Jedi are, what they do, some of the rules, and some of their powers. I enjoyed the close up pictures of certain objects and the helpful pronounces of names.

Brilliant thrilling read. It is the pinnacle of star wars literature. I would recommend to very experienced readers of star trek to give this a read and then jump head first into the high republican star wars novels

This book is great for the young Star Wars fan wanting to know more about Jedi. Intended for those who are reading alone, Level 3, it has more complex sentence structure, information boxes and alphabetical glossary, and a comprehensive index.

If you're a fan of Star Wars and a beginner reader, you'll enjoy this book. It focuses on the Jedi who have been in various Star Wars movies. With great stills from the movies, you'll enjoy the visuals and the interesting trivia. A nice read for beginner readers.

An interesting complex book on how to become a Jedi! Read this over a few days to space it out as this is a good "factual" guide covering the Jedi academy, temple, weapons, vehicles and so much more! Fun and informative for the young (and older) Star Wars fan.

This book explains the ins and outs of being a Jedi and a Sith. I enjoyed this book because it gives a simple and brief rundown of being a Jedi. I would use this to show kids that reading longer books can be worth it in the end.

I was in the store "Once upon a child" and I saw this book and had to have it and read it as I am a BIG Star Wars fan and I have always wanted to be a Jedi. ;) I will pass on the book to some little Padawan that likes to read.
