Star Wars: I, Jedi
Science Fiction Adventure Adult Fiction Space Opera First-Person Narrative Military Science Fiction Jedi Fiction Star Wars Legends
Star Wars: I, Jedi is the only Star Wars novel ever written entirely in the first-person, dropping readers directly into the flight helmet of Corran Horn—Rogue Squadron pilot, ex-Corellian Security agent, and reluctant Jedi apprentice. Michael A. Stackpole’s 1998 first-edition hardcover expands the galaxy far, far away through one man’s private journal, giving fans a rare interior view of the Force that movies and third-person novels never provide. At 464 pages, this Bantam Doubleday Dell volume is a bridge between the X-wing combat chronicles and the broader Jedi mythos, weaving starfighter action with Lightsaber philosophy in a way that satisfies both military-SF lovers and Force devotees.
Collectors prize this UK-printed, 248 mm tall first edition for its striking dust-jacket art and the fact that it predates the Disney canon reset, preserving the old Expanded Universe continuity. The personal inscription on the title page—hand-written by a previous owner—adds a unique artifact quality: you are holding a copy that has already lived one Star Wars fan’s life, ready to continue the journey with you. Condition notes mention two dog-eared pages and a few tiny edge tears, but the text block is otherwise clean and tight, making it an affordable cornerstone for a vintage Legends shelf.
Adult readers who grew up on Rogue Squadron comics or the Jedi Academy trilogy will especially value how Stackpole retells key events from a pilot’s pragmatic viewpoint, filling gaps left by other novels. Because the narrative is self-contained, newcomers can also jump in without prior EU homework—yet the book rewards deep-cut fans with appearances by familiar faces like Luke Skywalker and Mirax Terrik. Owning this hardcover means possessing one of the last pre-1999 novels that still treats the Force as mysterious and wild, before later series codified every power and species.
