This book was a decent read. It was just like The Clone Wars 2008 Movie, if not with a few extra events to add a little detail and spice. I didn’t like how some of the Grammar was flimsy and the book was not worded or written well in some places, such as when describing a planet name. Also, the image shown in the book’s movie photos as “Jabba’s Palace” labeled in the caption is actually the Teth Monastery where Rotta was taken to, not taken from. Also, the description of Jabba’s Palace was sort of rather inaccurate, as most fans know Jabba’s Palace was originally a B’omarr Monk Monastery. Ahsoka later corrects this mistake in the book talking about her studies. Some parts of the movie that were insignificant yet originally funny to me were taken out of this Junior Novelization. I enjoyed taking the time and flipping through the read at my own pace as well as the familiarity of this book’s storyline with the movie being its basis. I did not however think the book was gripping in its type and style of storytelling and I could easily put it down. I also believe those tiny little differences, inconsistencies and facts being changed from the movie would bother a huge fan of Star Wars, unless they’re willing to tough it out in the reading. I was still very proud and excited to finish this book. I’m excited in the future to read the Chapter Book Novelizations of the TV Show Episodes even more than I am about this book.
