By Jay Shah The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy is not merely a retelling of Star Wars: A New Hope, but genuinely adds to the cinematic experience. From the mythical tone of the prologue and epilogues, to the narrative written from the tight third-person perspective of the "Big Three" of Leia, Han, and Luke, Alexandra Bracken captures the feel and tone of the original Star Wars film. Even if -- or perhaps especially if -- you've seen the film dozens of times, the book harnesses the old joy and magic of seeing the movie for the first time. For those who've never seen the film before.... what are you doing on this Amazon page, go watch Star Wars: A New Hope!The book is marketed for kids, specifically kids of the current generation who might not have grown up on the Original Star Wars Trilogy. This book is ideal for those kids who may have still seen the original films, but perhaps associate the movies with their parents' generation. The language is modern -- allowing kids to relate to Leia, Han, or Luke and their heroic journeys -- while also preserving the timelessness inherent to Star Wars. But if you're a teenager or an adult -- or buying for one -- this book has a lot for you too, especially in the way it fleshes out the background of the film.The book is great for both boys and girls: Leia, Han, and Luke get equal page time amongst each other. Leia in particular seemed to get the least attention in the film, and she consequently gets a lot of development in this book. Bracken has a deft touch with Leia, and uses her political background and connection with the Rebellion to great effect. But I absolutely have to add that boys can get a lot of enjoyment out of Leia's chapters and girls can get a lot out of Luke and Han's chapters, too! Everyone has their particular heroes.If you're a kid -- or an adult remembers being a kid who loved Star Wars -- you can't miss this book. If you're trying to introduce Star Wars to youngsters, I can't think of a better place to start than this novel! Bottom line: young or old, male or female -- if you like Star Wars, you'll like this book! I give this book my highest recommendation.
12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. It's Star Wars! But with more Leia! By Kurt W A canonical retelling of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope? What could go wrong?Alexandra Bracken answers with a resounding "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING."Despite being listed as a novel for grades 3 - 7, there is something for everyone—including the most canon-hungry SW fans—in The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy. The novel features a sorely needed deeper characterization of the galaxy's most famous princess, diving into what exactly drives Leia's passionate hatred of the Empire, what motivates her astounding ambition (the youngest Senator ever elected!), and what makes her, well, such an awesome badass.Bracken details the on-camera events from the film well, but shines in the off-camera moments, the new canonical content that most Star Wars fans crave. (Without spoiling anything: pay careful attention to the truth serum scene in Leia's section...) She writes Luke very well, too, deftly navigating the emotional weight of his transformation from naive farm boy into nascent hero.One of the greatest pleasures of this quick read are the details. A few more precious (canonical!) words between Obi-Wan and Luke about the Force. The bread crumb trail of Han's past (soon to be put under the microscope in the upcoming Anthology film). How exactly Leia can compartmentalize the destruction of Alderaan. Luke lamenting how little time he had with Obi-Wan. And much much more.Get to know the characters behind the tropes in The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy. It's a real treat.Thanks for taking on what must have been an incredible challenge, Ms. Bracken!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not too shabby! By Kindle Customer Largely enjoyed this adaptation of A New Hope. Most of the scenes, not shown in the film, were welcomed additions to, now, canonical Star Wars lore.I enjoyed the idea of three perspectives on the story. Luke's portion was a bit lacking, I felt, in that there was no back story. The scene with Biggs, Camie, and Windy, for example, referred to when Luke sees Biggs on Yavin, would have been welcomed.Someone needs to write a DEFINITIVE adaptation to A New Hope.Bit startled that the fact that Darth Vader is pursuing Luke was not mentioned. That is until I reminded myself that this was Luke's point of view. Wedge's training of Luke, however, was great.Was extremely disappointed that dialogue, from the film, was altered.Ex. General Dodonna does not say "Good luck." His line was "Man your ships, and may the Force be with you."
