Jedi Path-Book Review

Hey guys, I have just finished reading Jedi Path, a book by Lucas Films, and I am going to write a review and share my thoughts on the book overall.



I can begin by saying that I purchased the cheaper version of the book, 14$ on Amazon. The difference from the 60$ version is that it is not leather-bound and is not packaged in a "Vault". I did purchase the Sith Book-Vault Edition, which I will write another review once I finish it. The Jedi Path book is appealing psychically. It's a hardcover book with high quality pages that have torn texture edges, to simulate age. The coloring on the cover can be scraped of easily so I would be careful with that, but overall it's well made.



In the book is a Jedi manual basically, teaching about the Jedi Code, Lightsaber techniques, and the mysteries of the galaxy. The book is separated in parts according to ranks. The first part is initiate, then padawan, then knight, and finally master. Each has topics for each rank, like the Jedi trails for padawans, and exercises for initiates. While it does have fictional matter some of it is about the Force and can be applied to what it means to be a Jedi.

The book is easily read, not too many difficult word that younger people would not understand and it is full of high quality images and diagrams. A very nice idea the author(s) had was to present the manual as if it was handed down from Master to Apprentice for about 100 years. Starting from Yoda and ending with Luke. You read scribbles around the edges of the text that were written by Thame, Dooku, Anakin, and even the Emperor! This adds a faux realism and it is just plain fun to read the thoughts of the various Jedi and Sith.

Overall, if you like Star Wars and you like reading this book most likely will interest you. Its not expensive unless you want to dish out 60$ for the Vault edition, which I have read to be much better than the Sith Vault Edition. Hope this was enjoyable and educational.

May the Force be with You,

I've been reading this book as well and I love it. It does well to immerse the reader in the Star Wars universe and brings an authentic feel. I like how the edges are torn to make it feel like the book has been around for many years.

Definitely an entertaining read.

Indeed. I hope that the Book Of Sith is equally entertaining.

I read the Jedi Path, too. I thought it was a great read. The comments in the margins make it feel real. I think that it provides an excellent base for Jediism. It could do well in the Temple's Initiates Program. (I have the Vault Edition in the mail now. Wooh!)

I got the vault edition of the Book Sith, and I'm about 3/4s of the way through it. I personally don't think it's as well written as the Jedi Path. It's set up a bit differently, too. It's made to look like it's pieces of multiple books put into one. It's interesting, but I think the Jedi Path is better.

I literally just finished reading it. I loved it. I see it to be an excellent read for initiates. Now I intend to con Templar out of the Book Sith

I have actually read this as well...and enjoyed it!

It is so great that you posted the review. This should be a regular event, reviews on books people have read and loved...or hated.
I don't know that it belongs in the initiates studies, but I would love to see a list of books (there may be one I haven't found and apologise in advance if this is true) for initiates to do as volunteer reading, not to do with studies.

Yes, I plan to write more reviews in the future and I agree with you that it would be a great optional book for initiates.

I ordered mine from Amazon.com. I'm sure there are other websites you can order them from as well.

For those of you interested in a peek into the world of the Sith, the library here has the Grand Book of the Sith, written by REAL Sith authors. It gives an excellent view into the Sith perspective, but this is not a representation of everything regarding the Dark Side.

Interesting, I will look into that. Thank you.

i am interested in the dark side

If that is so...then perhaps you may wish to change your name...(just a thought)

While I am interested I disagree with a lot of what the dark side professes.

Just got my Jedi Path: Vault Edition in the mail today. It's awesome, but the Sith vault is cooler.

I have the Sith Vault but it is cheaply made. I could not get it to work right out of the box. It looks awesome, but you might have some difficulties when you try to use it.

I need to find that in an e book form...

My Sith Vault is a lot cooler than my Jedi Vault. I like the Jedi book better, but the Sith vault has more to it.

i've got this book. thats why i wanted to join. i find its teachings cool but the pictures and descriptions are more of the star wars theme. but good book. (i want a jedi braid and a big room and the robes and a lightsaber and...) why not start a class that teaches sword play. in this book it said that before lightsabers there were swords so that would be cool.
