Examining the Star Wars Mega Series: Fate of the Jedi

So, let me finish up with “Fate of the Jedi”. Note that I don’t really follow Star Wars online, and so don’t really know the reception that any of these series have gotten. I know a little from some comments I’ve read sporadically, but don’t really know what most people are thinking. So this one might be the most controversial of my three assessments:

It’s been a while since “Fate of the Jedi” ended, and even a while since I finished reading “Fate of the Jedi”, but I now own most of the main “mega series” Star Wars works: New Jedi Order, Legacy of the Force, and Fate of the Jedi. And I have, over the past couple of years, dug them out of the boxes I store them in and read them again, and in fact I’m doing that right now. So I’ve been inspired to comment on them, and particularly comment on them in a way that lets me compare and rank them in terms of how much I enjoy them, and talk about what makes them work for me.

But have good or bad elements does not, in and of itself, make a work good or bad, or enjoyable or not enjoyable. It all depends on how much you care about those elements, and also on the elements contained in the whole work.
