Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Force Collector Kindle Edition

It's a book...I read it...it was enjoyable.

This is a young adult novel which is ancillary to the "main" canon storyline, set sometime before The Force Awakens. It is a bit different in that sense from the other "Journey to the [insert movie title]" in that most of the others have been set in between the last movie and the next one, so this would be better under the "Journey to The Force Awakens" than The Rise of Skywalker. The novel is centered around a force-sensitive teenager named Karr who can see history by touching items and runs away from home with his friend, the daughter of a First-Order officer and his droid to find items linked to the Jedi, in hopes to find a living Jedi to train him. It is, of course, set at a time when Luke Skywalker is in exile, and for some strange reason, the only memory of the Jedi seem to be of those who were around before the clone war and much of what people do remember of the Jedi is through the lens of disinformation that the Empire used to tarnish their Jedi's collective reputation.Even though the book is one of the young-adult novels, it is long enough (about 370 pages) and good enough that adults can find it enjoyable too. Through his travels, the main character visits different locations from the prequels, the original trilogy, and the sequel trilogy. It contains events from the movies, sometimes from a different perspective from what was shown in the particular movie scene. The story flows well, and if you are a fast reader it is pretty easy to get through in a few days, or less. Chances are if you collect all the hardcover novels as they come out you will get this anyway. If you are one who only gets some, but not all, of the young-adult novels, I definitely think this one is worth the purchase.

If you have seen all of the Star Wars movies, and still likes the series, and you are over the age of ten, this book could very well be part of your starter set for expanding your knowledge of the current Disney expanded universe canon. For avid readers, its a light 1-3 day job that keeps up a good pace and constant intrigue a la the the gold standard of youth reading, Harry Potter.THE FORCE COLLECTOR is the story of young Karr Nuq Sin, our protagonist born with the force talent of psychometry (much like the young lead of similarly accessible Star Wars hit video game JEDI: FALLEN ORDER, Cal Kestis). As he embarks on his journey, guided by a trail of force imbued objects, what otherwise might not be much more than a series of fetch quests, ends up being a poignant personal journey of self discovery for Karr.How enjoyable this book turned out to be was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

What a fun read. Fun characters, good bits of nostalgia and adventurous.It is what star wars is about. Kevin Shining takes the reader on a journey of discovery, friendshipAnd noble truths.From beginning to end, it navigates the reader through hyper space, planets and destinations and discoveredsecrets as well.Loved it.

Loved it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Growing up alongside the Star Wars galaxy, this compelling coming of age adventure introduces us to fascinating and witty characters from a whole new world enriching the Star Wars timeline! I found myself hanging on to every word as if I was with them on their inquisitive journey witnessing familiar events within the Star Wars canon. Kevin Shinick’s Force Collector is an exciting story for all ages taking us on a joyride that leaves us wanting to know more about the planet of Merokia; its people, droids, and how it’s history plays out within our galaxy, and galaxies far far away!I’m looking forward to more travel encounters with Karr, Maize, and RZ-7!

It's a decent book, but not a lot happens. Kind of interesting what people thought of the Jedi during the First Order. More information about Naq Med would've been nice.

I just love how Karr is looking at the whole Star Wars time period. I also love how it brings back so many Clone Wars references and episodes. That is amazing for a big Star Wars fan like me! I really like Karr's character. I miss green lightsabers. I was so happy when I finished it! We have not a Jedi that can look at an object's past in a long time! It is also good for kids to read! Great book for me! Enjoy!

Great star wars book, a good story for any star wars fan!

Un sorprendente romanzo con numerosissimi flashback delle pellicole. Un giovane ragazzo, dotato del dono della psicrometria, inizia un viaggio mirato alla scoperta e alla conoscenza del lascito dei Jedi...Nonostante l'indicazione, non ha praticamente alcun collegamento con Episodio IX, non di meno merita comunque un'occasione.

Ich fand die Story nicht so gut. Es wurde nach einer Weile langweilig zu lesen (einfach zu wenig Spannung). Das Cover des Buches ist sehr schön und stabil und es kam auch sicher und zur erwarteten Lieferzeit an. Dennoch ist für mich das wichtigste was in dem Buch drin steht und damit war ich nicht zufrieden...
