Not great but not bad. 2.7 stars. Don’t need to reread.

My favorite character is Luke Skywalker because he takes leadership for the light side. I was mostly surprised when General Grievous attacks Luke Skywalker side.
I would not change the ending because it ended with Luke’s side winning the war.
I would recommend this book because there's a lot of different leadership skills in the book that you can learn. I also liked how Luke Skywalker did not fight for himself he fought for his side.

I quite enjoyed this one. I've read another version of Rookies in a different book, but this is from a different point of view which helps to keep the story fresh. The other stories were quite fun and exciting as well.

Przykro mi, bo poprzednie książki z tej serii były naprawdę super. Tu nie byłam w stanie wytrzymać tłumaczenia - Ciężki i Piątka, no błagam. Gościu miałeś jedno proste zadanie, wypisane odcinki, dlaczego...

Definitely intended for a younger audience. Fun to experience these episodes again through another format. Some writers on this better than the others.

Just a written version of 3 episodes. No additional info or revelation there. Small center section with a few color pictures from the episodes.

The book covers three episodes from the clone wars series. Well written with some interesting solutions to the protagonists' problems.

This book is overall a very good book. It made me want to play my Star Wars Battlefront game. This book is filled with action, definitely a book that keeps you interested from start to finish. This book has a very good beginning that gets you hooked very quickly after starting to read the book.
At the very beginning you start off with a defense mission, that turns into a secret mission. During the mission, they get pinned down and rely on one man that has never fought before. Luckily, the lone soldier pulls off the mission, saving everyone but himself. After they say their goodbyes to the soldier that complete the mission, the newbies that survived were upgraded for their loyalty and courage. When they were celebrating their victory, they see General Grievous flying away. The first thing they did was chase after him, unfortunately losing him when he jumps into hyperspace.
This book is great for all ages, probably more for kids that are around 5th to 8th grade, but definitely for Star Wars fanatics. I think that people that like Star Wars would like this book, even if they are 50.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because I think that there could be more to it. I think it would be cool if they could make a book like this into a choose your own adventure book. I would definitely buy that.

For a Star Wars fan, this was an okay book. For the younger SW fans, I think this would be a little difficult due to the number of references to assorted characters in the SW pantheon--unless they've already watched the film/tv series and know who/what all the different characters are to begin with. ...But then why would they read the book...?
To be honest, it's a decently written book with a reasonable plot which younger readers can follow and classic characters one can feel instantly familiar with. I think, on the whole, it's a bit too young for older readers and a bit complicated for younger ones.
Regardless, I had a delve into it as a big fan of SW, and would recommend this to you for your budding Padawan as a parent/child read-along.

This book takes four episodes from The Clone Wars television series, Rookies, Downfall of a Droid, Duel of the Droids, and Lair of Grievous, and puts them in one awsome book! Containing 16 pages of full-color pictures from the show, this is a great book for Star Wars fans!
