I loved this book except for one thing: the big finale between Luke and the bad Jedi. I guess a fight is a fight is a fight, and even a good writer can't do much new with one. Still, great characters, wonderful scheming and counter-scheming, and a sense of wonder that are sorely missing from the new film. And the way Thrawn gets his come-upance was brilliant. Bring on the new books!
