Star Wars: Rebel Force #6
Uprising
Don’t miss the thrilling conclusion of the Rebel Force series! The mission to Nyemari was supposed to be simple. But before the Rebels can get off the planet, Luke receives a deadly message from former Imperial Commander Rezi Soresh. Though X-7 didn’t manage to kill Luke, Soresh has not given up and is prepared to kill a ship of innocent travelers if Luke doesn’t surrender himself. To save the hostages, Luke must follow Soresh’s directions—even if they lead straight into a trap.

All in all, this was a fun series. It was true to the original trilogy; sadly, Disney's Star Wars films were not.

This last book in the Rebel Force series was quite good. As a reader of the Extended Universe / Legends...way after the fact, I'm truly impressed by how the author was able to weave her story around the events that are OG moments, but still find her style, and her characters in between.
Ferus Olin was such a dynamic character. Like and uber spy Jedi, being able to be where he needs to be, but at the same time...make it so that no one recognized him for what he really was.
The baddie of this novel is Soresh, with the looming presence of Darth Vader...and how he going to react to what Soresh is doing, and what he eventually does. Such a good (in a evil guy moment) character arc.
Of course, I love the banter between the characters...even the bad guys.
Lastly, for this series and novel...I'd like to say how thoroughly I enjoyed the small moments in this story. Yes, galaxy wide turmoil is occurring, but the intimate character moments are what you will take with you...once the story is complete. In this series there were multitudes of those moments.
Okay, now that the Rebel Force series is complete, my next venture in the galaxy, far, far away is The Galaxy of Fear series, with the first book (of twelve) being Eaten Alive by John Whitman. At first look, it looks set for the younger age, but we'll see.g

“Uprising” is the sixth and final book in Alex Wheeler’s Star Wars: Rebel Force series for middle readers. It’s a satisfying conclusion to a pretty enjoyable series.
In this book, Luke Skywalker is kidnapped by Rezi Soresh, the Imperial Commander who had masterminded the creation of the assassin X-7. Soresh is obsessed with “turning” Luke into another mindless assassin for the Emperor. What he doesn’t factor into his plans is the fact that Darth Vader has other plans for the young farmer-turned-pilot. Also, Leia and Han may have something to say about all this too.
Exciting, fun, and a quick read, the series is a must-read for Star Wars fans.

A sad, quick read.
November 6, 2021
Commander Rezi Soresh seeks revenge on Luke Skywalker for breaking his assassin's programming, but faces the wrath of Darth Vader for defying orders to leave the young pilot alone.
Wheeler manages to transition the character of Luke from the young man portrayed in 'Star Wars' to the more aware and serious Jedi Apprentice shown in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. This is a good conclusion to an interesting serial adventure.

i had zero expectations when i started this series but it was really so good. it captured original trio's dynamic so well, every character were written so good. i especially loved luke's inner conflicts and han and leia's nonstop discussions. it was really so cute. i also liked writing of oc characters such as x7 and i haven't read prequels yet but ferus really tempted me to read. it's almost sad to say goodbye to this series

I Wasn’t Impressed
Most Star Wars books have a certain feel to them and you are dying to know what happens next. This book just felt boring and like a chore to finish.
However I was this deep in the series, I just wanted to finish it. Now I can move on to other series.

Surprisingly good, at least compared to the rest of the series. Although I really enjoy Legends, I felt that this book went a little too far. Luke seemed a little to knowledgeable for the time period, and Leia was not as strong a character as in the movies. Overall, however, it was well done.

This is actually the 6th and final book in the series. Glad it is over.
This book has the gang on yet another mission. Surprised? I am not because they seem like the only people who can do anything for the Rebels... So X-7 is dead and his "master," Soresh wants revenge...scary...
The things I didn't like about this book was they said Leia was this warrior type person...ummm no she wasn't.
They keep saying Div was the best pilot ever...ummm no.
Ferus Olin, the one who was supposed to protect Leia, was made out to be the same age as Vadar. That he was his peer and should have killed Anakin when they were still in the Jedi academy. I don't see that. But remember he left the Jedi's at a certain time before Order 66. So if that was the case he would have been about 20ish. Well if that is the case, why or how could have he left Div and Talon when they were younger (the book made it seem like they were 15 or so when he left and was that father figure...). Sorry the time line doesn't make sense and it is too much of a stretch.
Also how has Soresh not have heard or believed of Vadar's power? That was just lame and it was lamer that they made Soresh as this evil mastermind creating these superkillers by taking their memories away.
The series itself started good, but really went downhill after the 3rd book. It really didn't need to be 6 books. They were only like 150 pages each, but it could/should have been 3 or 4 and not have them on so many missions.
If you have nothing better to do then read it. The first some odd books are ok, but then you will find yourself really skimming the rest of the books like I did.

The conclusion of the six-part series, this novella also marks the conclusion of the maybe 20-part Ferus Olin saga that spanned the days of Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan, through his rebirth as Darth Vader, through the early training of Luke Skywalker. He got to face Vader again in what was an exciting finish. This also left us with the impression that Lune Divinian was killed – but since no body was found, you can never be sure. I have a feeling that we’ll run into him again (and I look forward to it).
February 14, 2013
This book was pretty amazing. It almost always kept me on my toes. But, this book was also really sad. This book marks the death of Ferus Olin. I was really sad when that happened. Plus, how Vader killed him was really cruel!! Well, I guess I would do that if he was a life-long rival, always a thorn in my side, but I would forgive him in the end, sign a truce, and become friends.

Perfect ending to a wonderful series.

In theory this book wasn't actually bad; the pacing was good and the story engaging. My main issue was it had many problems connecting to "The Empire Strikes Back," and other Expanded Universe books set in the time between "New Hope" and "Empire", that it kinda ruined it for me. In his other five books, Wheeler did a pretty good job setting up a series of stories that seemed to fit in the universe well and didn't contradict anything in "Empire." This book didn't do a good job at doing this, which was my biggest issue with it.
My two biggest issues with the story were:
1. Why was the Resistance still on Yavin 4???? I know I'm late to the party for this complaint since other reviews have been pointing this issue out in all the other books. The reason I had a issue with it now was that all of the other books were pretty quick paced and could have taken place in under two months since the Resistance blew up the Death Star.
Two months was about the max time I was willing to give the Resistance to stay on Yavin 4. The Empire would probably need about that much time to regroup and prepare to launch another attach since the Resistance just took out a major piece in their military. Two months may be a bit of a stretch, the Empire may have been able to regroup sooner, but this was a middle grade book. There is a lot of different characters and places in this series so keeping the main Resistance base at Yavin 4 would be easier for younger readers to keep track of and offer them a key location that they were familiar with.
In Uprising, several months go by in this book alone and the resistance still hasn't left yet! That was a bit too much time. Its starting to look like they stayed in Yavin 4 for 6 months or so. That's really starting to get unbelievable. In "Empire" its looks like the Resistance has continually been on the run, and other EU books like "Allegiance" and "Honor Among Thieves" show this to be the case. So not only does Uprising not fit well into the time frame with all of the other Star Wars stories, it just doesn't make sense for the Resistance to stay in one place. We know that they are struggling to defeat the Empire, so they are secretive about where their bases are located. It doesn't make sense to stay in one place so long.
2. Luke has too much power and connection to the force. After reading this book it would be hard to believe that Luke is still struggling to call his lightsaber using the force in the Wampa Cave in "Empire." Many other books in the EU universe do a good job not overpowering Luke before he gets trained by Yoda and I was hoping that this series would continue to be mindful of this. All of Wheeler's other books did a good job not making Luke too powerful, which was why this book was probably so upsetting. It just doesn't fit well with what we know of Luke this far.
Other then that the book was pretty good, but I'm not sure I would reread it because of the issues it places on the EU as a whole. I would probably continue to read the other five books but just skip this one. There are two characters who's story lines wouldn't be completed but the reader could look up them if them wanted to know what happened. There was also a good fight scene between two characters that was fun to read about and pretty cool.
Overall I would recommend this series up to book five and only recommend reading book six if you have to know what happened/are a completionist.

Star Wars Legends Project #234
Background: Uprising was written by Alex Wheeler and published in May 2010. It is the last in the 6-book Rebel Force series, following Trapped (my review). Wheeler is the author of all 6 books in the series and no other Star Wars books, though this is probably just a pseudonym, likely for another Star Wars writer (see my review of book 2).
Uprising takes place a few months after the Battle of Yavin, beginning some time after the end of the previous book. The main characters are Han, Luke, and Leia, along with Ferus Olin and Lune Divinian, Rezi Soresh, and Darth Vader. The story takes place mostly on Nyemari and on a dead moon in the Sixela system.
Summary: X-7 is dead, but the man who sent him to kill Luke Skywalker is still very much alive and determined to see his mission fulfilled, even if he has to do it himself. Luring Luke with an ultimatum he knows the young hero won't be able to turn down, Soresh puts his plan into motion . . . a plan to consolidate his power by turning the young Jedi and eliminating his rival Darth Vader in one swift stroke.
Review: Talk about ending with a whimper. There is no reason for this book to exist. There are a few remaining loose threads from earlier series to tie up, namely the fates of Ferus and Lune, but in terms of the actual plot of this series, everything was basically resolved in book 5. Rezi Soresh is no better as a villain than X-7, and the idea that he is in any meaningful sense Darth Vader's "rival" is laughable. Delusions of grandeur much?
There isn't even sort of enough plot here to justify an entire book, and what little there is doesn't make any sense. Soresh's plan is just ridiculous, but then so is the way everyone act in response. It's so bad that the heroes are forced to act totally illogically in order to not bring the whole thing to an end immediately. It all feels incredibly contrived so as to fill out a couple hundred pages. It absolutely seems like the writer somehow screwed up the outlining for the series and ended up accidentally only plotting 5 books while under contract for 6.
It's a real shame, because I particularly liked the conclusion of Ferus Olin's story here. More of this series should have focused on him, and there is a boatload of missed opportunities for more parallels and connections with the earlier series, all squandered for . . . I don't even know what this was going for.

Even if Uprising ended on a note that wasn’t climactic it even all that shocking, I couldn’t even try to find any real faults with it or the entire Rebel Force series.
Wheeler really did something awesome with these books, crafting a story that grabbed my interest and kept me entertained from the start. As a whole they don’t add much to Star Wars but it doesn’t really matter since they were fun and didn’t require much in the way of time spent reading. Overall the series is a good return on the investment, purely for the entertainment factor alone.
Kinda bummed that Rebel Force was only a 6 book series but at the same time, don’t really know what Wheeler could have done to expand or keep the story going longer. 6 was probably a good place to end.

Uprising and a Bittersweet Ending
An amazing end to the Rebel Force series, action packed, with unexpected twists and turns. Bittersweet as well for the loss of two favorites. Rezi Soresh's twisted revenge sets the stage for an explosive conclusion. Luke gets put through hell and a reluctant warrior fulfills his destiny. Having been through two series (Jedi Quest and Last of the Jedi) Ferus Olin became of one my favorite Jedi. His arc was bittersweet, similar to Kanan Jarrus. A fantastic book, the highlight of the series.

With the other books in the series up to this point, they've been fun and intense, and if I hadn't known how The Empire Strikes Back, I probably would have spent many late nights getting through them. This one, even though I know Luke and co. are going to solve the problem, it got painfully intense in there, and knowing that it ends up working out in the end didn't help. I haven't encountered a book that I've desperately needed to know how it ends in a long time, so I quite enjoyed it. Well played, Alex Wheeler. Well played.
March 17, 2019
This is one of those EU books that people can point out as problematic in the EU. Yes it ends Ferus’s journey but it’s really a bad book. The whole series was unnecessary except to bring Ferus back. Which in and of itself was not necessary as he could have just died in Alderaan. This book also just feels as filler to have a six book series. Soresh didn’t even seem like a real character, he was just a caricature. Just not a good book at all.

We wrap up Rebel Force with Uprising, which really serves as the conclusion to about three or four young reader series, depending on how you look at it.
This series, like most, had its ups and downs, but the ending legitimately had me tearing up with bittersweet acceptance, so I can't help but rate it accordingly.
Tying in the Maw Installation was a nice touch.

As a series ender, this was kind of disappointing but I'm not sure it could have been much better, given the fate that awaited certain characters (... characters who took up too much "screen time", no matter my previous fondness for them in other books by another author). I think it was also slightly too dark for a Middle Grade novel. Overall, this series was... alright.
January 28, 2019
Great Series
The whole story line was inventive all the way through. I will read these books again with my son when he is older. As a nine year old, he is getting his time in Star Wars. What better way to grow together than in books. Great read.

I have to say, these books were pretty good. Well written, clipped along, and even though they were short, did not treat the reader like an idiot. Would recommend the entire Rebel Force series.

Best in the Rebel Force series. The most Star Wars like story; action, characters, and plot were much of the same feel of A New Hope.

Now that X-7 has found his identity, it's time for Luke to get brainwashed to serve the Empire. I guess. This is an odd book that attempts to take us up to the events of The Empire Strikes Back, but what happens in between is hardly groundbreaking stuff. It feels convoluted and forced.
Wheeler continues to mischaracterize the main characters. He manages to make them sound right while having them act completely out of character. The choices they make continue to serve the plot and not the characters, and when he's writing about characters everyone already knows and loves, it's a poor choice. We're going to be able to tell when they act out of character, and the story will suffer for it. He managed to do this for five out of the six books in this series.
The best thing I can say about this book is that it brings this series to a close. It doesn't feel like Wheeler gets the characters he's writing about, and he tries to include so much fan service that it makes the Expanded Universe feel so much smaller. At least the books didn't take that long to read, but I certainly wouldn't add this to any must-read lists.

This concludes the lackluster series of Rebel Force. It started out fairly promising with the first two books, but it went steadily and swiftly downhill after the third.
This one is X-7's master, Soresh, getting revenge against Luke and trying to brainwash him into being his mindless slave. Everyone gets captured yet again and then escapes again, except for Div (who gets himself killed while giving the others enough time to get away) and Ferus (who faces off against Vader).
I find it terribly bad writing to involve Vader at this juncture. He would have caught them. There are so many people they bring together for the sake of the plot, but then it makes little sense when thought of in perspective with the films.

Han, Chewie, Luke, and Leia receive a shifty message from Rezi Soresh. Even though they know they're walking into a trap, they go to meet Soresh so as to save Arkanian hostages.
Soresh takes them all and tries to turn Luke into one of his robots. It's reminiscent of Obi-Wan in the "Jedi Apprentice" series.
One of the things I liked with this book is that it specifically states it had been a few months between it and book 5. That allows room for Allegiance and any other short story that may have been published in that timeframe.
It was a decent end to the series. I'm glad we didn't see much of Ferus & Div.

I enjoyed this book series. I thought it was brilliant and I could hardly put them down. Even though they are light reads and you can usually finish them in one day, I thought it bridged the gap between New Hope and Empire very well. I also liked how the author included The Last Jedi characters and bridged those books to this series. I loved how the author showed Luke's journey of becoming a Jedi and how he struggles with self-doubt and what others think about him. I would recommend these books to others.
