Read it , you must!
STAR WARDS: JEDI ACADEMY y Jeffrey Brown. Scholastic, September 2013.
Roan Novachez wants to attend PilotAcademy like his father and his brother before him. When he receives word that he is instead to attend the Jedi Academy, he is disappointed. However, as classes with Yoda and RW-22 and T-P30, and other fairly familiar beings (wookies, siths, etc.) continue, Roan discovers that he might just have what it takes to use the force and become a Jedi. Lots of humor, GN format, familiar territory (well, for this reader at least) combine to make this a series kids will clamor for.
