Star Wars The Force Unleashed Book

Before Disney released the shark jump that was The Last Jedi, Star Wars was a force to be reckoned with, and not just in celluloid form! Between bestselling books such as the Thrawn trilogy, the fabulous computer-animated Clone Wars television series, and computer and video games ranging from the critically acclaimed Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader to the various Lego titles, Lucas' space opera was more than just films. Were they all amazing? No...but, when done right, they were a wonder to behold.

So, even though this is a literary adaptation of a video game, it was still enjoyable and well-written. If you think this would just be Pac-Man in book form, take it from this longtime geek: Gaming has come a long way since the '80's; now, many video and computer games have complex stories that rival New York Times bestsellers or Hollywood blockbusters. So, even if you haven't touched a Nintendo or PlayStation controller in a decade or two, if you're a Star Wars fan, you may enjoy this. It definitely whisked me into "a galaxy far, far away".
