The Heart of the Jedi Darth Vader and the Emperor are no more. The Alliance has officially become the New Republic. As Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the new Chief-of-State Mon Mothma emerge triumphant against the diminishing Empire, the Imperial Remnant fights on until the long-silent Imperial Senate rises up to call for peace. But not everyone wants peace, and High Admiral Tharkus has made plans to ensure the Empire will reemerge under his rule. At his side stands the mysterious Dioskouroi, beings of rare and deadly powers! For Luke Skywalker, exhausted from years of fighting, the time has come to depart upon a journey of discovery, a journey that will lead him to a secret long ago hidden by Obi-Wan Kenobi. ◆◆◆ The Heart of the Jedi, Kenneth C. Flint''s lost Star Wars novel, commissioned and approved by Lucasfilm, and set to be released in 1993, disappeared without a trace. For many years fans wondered what became of the book and why it was never published, and so it was chalked up to yet another tragic "lostworlds" story that no one would ever get to read or enjoy... or so we thought! Kenneth C. Flint''s complete novel The Heart of the Jedi has at last been unearthed! Published on StarWarsTimeline.net, it has been edited to fit into the existing Expanded Universe, taking place a short time after The Truce at Bakura and the end of issue #107 of the Marvel series, but before the X-Wing comic-book series. Reprinted here in paperback for the first time, this is a non-profit listing for private collectors only. The downloadable PDF is freely available here: http://www.starwarstimeline.net/The%20Heart%20of%20the%20Jedi.htm Find other books by Kenneth Flint at: http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-C.-Flint/e/B001HPFIWC *** Note: I''d like to clear a few things up. This is an unofficial fan printing of an unofficial fan story. IE: Bootleg Fanfiction. Disney owns Star Wars©, not The Heart of the Jedi. I am not making money off this venture. This is being printed AT COST only. The price paid is merely to Amazon for printing charges. There was a fan printing briefly available in 2015. I, and most others, missed that one. Some time ago, I decided I wanted a copy of "The Heart of the Jedi" for my bookshelf. I downloaded the PDF, formatted it for paperback, sized it so it would fit in with other MMPs, and did some Photoshop work for a Batam-era appropriate cover. I put it on Amazon, ordered my copy, and was done. Then, quite frankly, I forgot about it. The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: I am not Ken Flint. I am not Joe Bongiorno. I am not affiliated with Disney. This book is not outselling Disney Star Wars. The way the Amazon Ranking algorithm works is based on sales per hour, not lifetime sales. I am not Timothy Zahn. I know him. He is an amazing mentor and an inspiration to me. I would never try and sabotage his work or steal his thunder. Everyone go buy Thrawn. I want to say everyone go buy MY book! But at this point, I think anonymity is safer than infamy. EU fans, stop trying to stick a thumb in Disney''s eye. We''re not going to change anything. Disney fans, just ignore the EU fans and let them have their silly little book. Stop tattling to Disney. Finally, I would like to publicly apologize to Ken for any appearance that I might be stealing his work. That was not the intent. --A Star Wars Fan Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The story begins with an apparent truce between the fledgling New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, similar to The Truce at Bakura, though High Admiral Tharkus bristles at the reformed Imperial Senate’s desire to sue for peace (pgs. 28-30). While Leia Organa and Han Solo travel to a neutral world for negotiations, Luke Skywalker departs on his own to Tatooine. After the events of the Original Trilogy, Luke hopes to reconnect with the young man he was and rekindle his idealism. He worries that, in becoming a warrior for the Rebel Alliance, he has strayed toward the Dark Side of the Force. Flint depicts Luke having a touching moment remembering his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru (pg. 64) before visiting Obi-Wan Kenobi’s dwelling, where Kenobi’s spirit appears to Luke and tells him he must seek the Heart of the Jedi on Angorathea to renew his Jedi spirit (pgs. 69-70). Similar to Grand Admiral Mitt’raw’nuruodo and his Noghri assistants, High Admiral Tharkus employs an alien as his agent for delicate tasks, in this case the shape-shifting Dioskouroi, Pollux.
Luke’s journey recalls elements of his story in A New Hope with him beginning his visit to Tatooine at his aunt and uncle’s old moisture farm before traveling to Ben Kenobi’s house. He later has a run-in with the Tusken Raiders, but his experiences over the years lead him to seek peace between the Tuskens and himself rather than rushing into conflict. He later travels to Mos Eisley to purchase a long-range ship, running into Ponda Boba, but defusing a possible fight rather than take Ponda’s other arm. Meanwhile, Han bristles at the inclusion of Prince Gowan of Galvoni III on his and Leia’s diplomatic mission, recalling some of the tension in Leia and Han’s relationship found in other novels set after Return of the Jedi but prior to Heir to the Empire. Flint, like many authors who covered that period of time, doesn’t seem to know how to portray their relationship from the awkward romantic conflicts of the Original Trilogy to the married couple Timothy Zahn depicted in the Thrawn Trilogy. Finally, In a fun reference to the 1970s – 1980s Marvel Comics Star Wars stories, Flint depicts Chewbacca announcing himself by saying “gronk” (pgs. 142, 194). The story itself is very much in the spirit of the early Bantam Spectra Star Wars novels. Those who enjoy these early stories continuing the Saga past the events of the Original Trilogy will find this a great addition to official works. (
