This 1999 Bantam Spectra mass market paperback edition of Star Wars: I, Jedi by Michael A. Stackpole is a first mass market printing that follows Corran Horn through one of the most respected stories in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.

Set after the Jedi Academy trilogy, this novel shifts the spotlight to Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn as he searches for his missing wife while discovering his own connection to the Force. Rather than following Luke Skywalker from the outside, readers experience the Jedi Academy through Corran's eyes as he struggles with training, undercover missions, loyalty, and the temptation of the dark side.

It blends military science fiction with classic Star Wars adventure and has become a favorite among fans of the X Wing novels and the Legends timeline.

Collector's Notes

I, Jedi is widely regarded as one of the standout novels from the Star Wars Expanded Universe because it tells its story from a first person point of view, something rarely used in Star Wars fiction.

It is a strong choice for readers building a Star Wars Legends shelf or completing Michael A. Stackpole's X Wing related novels.

This copy is a first mass market printing with the original Bantam Spectra cover artwork and ISBN 0-553-57873-1.

It is the kind of paperback many longtime Star Wars readers remember searching for before the Legends line became collectible.

How Reading Vintage sources and grades every book 

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
