This is a fun set of chapters, although not a lot of plot happens. Corran comes to terms with the fact that although he can run really, really far, he is not a "boy genius" when in comes to the Force -- and might actually be the most repressed sentient on the planet. Slowly, he comes to trust his fellow students and his own emotions (on a good day). But he also worries he will be seduced by a woman who clearly has no romantic interest in him and who is definitely way more interested in floating rocks. We see first hand that Luke was a home schooled kid whose teachers thought he would die and is now a man who has no idea how to actually run a school. Despite all that, the hot tub time machine/Force field trip experience M. Skywalker takes his students on does sound rad. The Force: it's pretty neat!
