My review of the Jedi Academy Training Manual for the Star Wars: Saga Edition RPG is online at Game Cryer.com. This is essentially a "class book" for Jedi and other Force users, introducing new Force powers, lightsaber forms, holocron rules, variant lightsaber crystals and a host of new Force traditions.

I can't say that the game needed this new book, especially given the number of Force powers we've seen released in the campaign books so far. I'd rather have seen a noble, scout or soldier focused book released, but if you like Jedi (or if you're running a Force-heavy campaign) this is a good supplement to have.

I think my favorite additions to the game are the lightsaber forms; they give combat-heavy Jedi a number of new tricks, each of which builds on an existing lightsaber form from the Jedi Knight prestige class's Lightsaber Forms talent tree. They're a cool way of allowing lower level Jedi access to some of the lightsaber forms capabilities, while at the same time allowing Jedi to truly master a style of fighting.
