review 1: The "Origami Yoda" series gets better with every book. The 'inside" references (Mara Jade?), the tween & teen-isms (hallway hug walking?), The ageless issues of the quest, the inside jokes (Lucas County School District?! ) and the digs at troublesome education issues (teaching for the test) make me nod along, laugh, & appreciate the author's insight. I'm listening to the audio, so I think I'm missing some great drawing. But I'm getting some excellent acting and voicing. A worthwhile trade-off. Each episode is more & more gratifying, & makes me laugh harder. This is a must, especially for Star Wars fans. Doesn't matter if you have kids or not. Read/listen to these books! I hope George Lucas appreciates the brilliance of this series.
review 2: I'm sad th... moreat this series should enter the Dark Side by caving in to prurient interests, and if I sound too harsh...tell me nicely? The McQuarrie School is hit with ahuge blow from the School Board Empire as the kids are made to endure a film involving a beakdancing dictionary and a singing calculator (this does not compute, I know. I suffered similar indignities once but I was cool about it.) So the kids need the help of "Captain Dwight" and his trusty Origami Yoda puppet. But Yoda can't do it alone, and needs all his friends to form a Rebellion to crush the New Order. These books don't honor the Star Wars I knew. Star Wars to me is about spirituality and doing what's right, and has more to do with Christianity than even George Lucas intended (and FTR: I'm not touching SW 7, 8, and 9 with a 10-foot lightsaber). We're not about rebellion. We're not about revenge. This book is abotu both. The Luke Skywalker I know is about neither. And how's this for a mind-bender: JEDI--Jesus Even Died for I. Top THAT! less
