    Wasn't too bad. The first one started out halfway decent and lost a lot quality by the end. The second one I disliked. Of course, the Wizarding World knows about the Galactic Republic and requests their assistance against another Dark Lord that springs up after Voldemort.

    BUT WAIT! Order now and you get a manipulative Ministry that stole Harry's sperm to create a clone 16 years ago that rebelled against the Ministry and goes on to destroy anything he deems remotely dark. OoOooOooOOo.

    First story, it's an alright read. Second, not as great. Good for the bin, but not library material.

    I got to chapter 4 before giving up. It just seems so... hollow. I don't recommend it for the library. Could be a good read for someone else but definately not for me, and i was in the mood for a crossover as well.

    Pretty bad version of the Azkaban setup, and one of the worst show-downs with Voldemort I've ever seen.

    The whole healing Harry and Hurt-comfort thing afterword was almost enough to make me drop the fic with a shudder, I only continued because none of the stories I'm following were updated while I took a break. But it becomes quite decent after chapter 6 or so, my opinion may be coloured by lack of South-Western fanfiction experience though. I don't trust this author to deviate enough from canon to make things interesting, so I'm passing on the sequels.

    2/5, because of the beginning and awkward fusion of universes.

    It's more the writer lacking any semblance of skill than Star Wars/Harry Potter being inherently a formula for crap. Remember, this is padawan lynne.

    Yeah, I have to agree with Andro here. I love the SW/HP crossover myself (I'm pretty sure everyone has read "Harry Potter and the Dying Embers", one of the best SW/HP stories out there). Lynn's story? Not even close, in all honesty. Harry's really just too much of a sissy, in my opinion.

    I'd rate the story now-adays a 2/5. Deserves the trash-bin. Damn, my tastes sure have changed since then.

    I couldn't get through the third chapter. This is absolutely terrible. I think that may have been the worst Voldemort death scene I've ever read, bar none.

    1/5

    If I could give it less, I would.
