Star Wars - The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force

Product Information

It covers EVERYTHING from the seven forms of Jedi lightsaber combat styles to the Knighthood Trials, from Force using animals (oh yes!) to the old Jedi/Sith myths and folklore that went before. In short, it's penned as a SERIOUS handbook for Padawans to study like a shorthand manual to finding his or her destiny in the Force. This fall, just in time for the holiday season, Lucasfilm announces the release of Star Wars: The Imperial Handbook, the latest artifact to come from inside the Star Wars universe. From the book producers who unearthed The Jedi Path and Book of Sith comes the newest book from a galaxy, far, far away...a guide for Commanders of the Imperial Military.

You hold in your hands an electronic storage vault that contains the last known copy of "The Jedi Path," a training manual with a long, rich history - especially considering all the famous people who have owned it in the past! And now, it is yours to peruse, to seek knowledge of The Force and start on your path to Jedihood. Or not . . . because it's not an easy path to tread. Below are details of what you can expect. Jedi who added personal commentary: Yoda, Thame Cerulian, Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Sidious, and Luke Skywalker.

As the Imperial Empire expands, high-ranking officials from each branch of the Imperial Military have set down tactical guidelines and procedures for all newly ascending commanders. Set in-universe, this compendium of ordinance, mission reports, and Imperial philosophy was intercepted by members of the Rebel Alliance, some of whom also left commentary scribbled in the margins. Housed in a deluxe case that opens with lights and sounds, this never-before-seen Imperial Handbook is perfect for Star Wars fans—on both sides of the Rebellion. The Empire has taken hold of the galaxy. Soon, with the completion of the Death Star, its control will be absolute. In preparation for this Imperial expansion, high-ranking officials from each branch of the Imperial military have set down tactical guidelines and procedures as well as collected mission reports and classified documents for all newly ascending commanders. In a similar situation to Davits Draven, Jan Dodonna is stated to be alive post-Hoth despite his death in Star Wars (2015) 55. Similarly, the comic book's timeline of events takes priority, and the contradiction is planned to be fixed in later reprints of Star Wars: The Rebel Files. [10]

Die Qualität der Box ist ok, obgleich nur aus Kunststoff. Alu wäre hier wesentlich stabiler gewesen. Aber bei sorgsamen Umgang sollte hier nichts passieren. Die Mechanik funktioniert einwandfrei. Shii-Cho, The Way of the Sarlacc, or also known as The Determination Form, is the 1 st of the seven lightsaber combat forms. The form was developed right after the transition from the traditional metal swords to lightsabers. The form was open and wild, I would say, relying on one’s specific tactics to disarm the opponent, rather than injuring or killing him. As it was developed prior to the rise of the Dark Lords of the Sith, it wasn’t suited for lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat and was soon replaced by the 2 nd form. However, it is still the form all Jedi initiates start with. The manual itself is another cause for applause. It covers everything a young Padawan needs to become a Jedi but what makes it worth it weight in gold are the annotations on the margins by previous Masters. You see, this particular copy is the only one that survived the massacre of the Jedis by the Emperor's army. It is also the same copy that was owned by Yoda, his student, Dooku and his student, Qui-Gon who passed it on to Obi-Wan Kenobi...it has pedigree, this book. And they all wrote down their opinions in the margins. Even Palpatine chipped in. You could almost see his sneer as he scoffs at the manual's warnings of the Sith. If I stand up I can also reach all six books of William Shakespeare's two Star Wars trilogies, a Momaw Nadon action figure, and Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle.Christopher Bird does an excellent job of breaking the ideas of the path down three simple and clear ideas (referred to as pillars) and building every new concept on top of them in a way that the book feels cumulative rather than simply covering parts of a whole. I especially appreciate that Bird keeps the more “fluffy” ideas to a minimum, explaining that, though the concept of “the Force” is intrinsic to the path, there is a very grounded view of the Force that works just as well in bringing people along the path. As with the TBHC this book is meant as a guide. In this case, for aspiring young students of the Force. And just like TBHC this book is a wonderful collection of texts, illustrations, and annotations by famous characters from the Star Wars Universe. Note2: The images are not mine, they are from: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber_combat/Legends and originally published in the book The Jedi Path. Overall I liked this book very much. Especially the parts about the Jedi code and the Force are great parts to read. I didn't like the parts about attire, and equipment as much, since they were quite dry, just like TBHC. What really adds to this books are the annotations by famous Jedi and even Sith. They added a lot of flavour and a little bit more depth to the book, even though these are no longer considered canon.
