Notice: SPOILERS FOLLOW. READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK....

Well, picking up from where I left off in my beautiful review of chapters 1-4....

Chapter Five doesn't have a lot in it, from my perspective. The thing was a crashed ship, which I kinda figured, and Michael goes down to see it. There's smoke, etc. Michael does do something interesting in saving Joshua from death, rather than leaving his rival to die. Light side points gained. Then he gets hurt and is healed by some unknown woman. Yay.

Chapter Six. I think this might have been the best chapter yet. The introduction of Ben is really well handled, and while I can see the ANH version there somewhat, there's clearly some original work going on too.

Logan's introduction is a little bit faster, and for a character that (as far as I know) is entirely original it seems a /little/ too fast, but nothing serious. I'm sure we'll learn more about him as we progress through the story.

The dialogue between Michael and Ben is really nice, IMHO taking the best elements of Obi-Wan's dialogue with Luke and Anakin and combining them, with a little twist. This is, of course, assuming Ben is the ASWS version of Obi-Wan and is a Jedi. He might not be, we don't actually know yet.

Some other fun stuff. As per always, the light side choice of saving Joshua is having serious negative repercussions in the form of Hutt soldiers arresting Michael, Ben, and Logan. I'm glad to see that Joshua didn't have some sudden conversion to goody-goody.

Also, the fact that Ben seems to be affected by wearing heavy robes in the heat is a funny contrast to how no one is ever affected by most climate changes in Star Wars.

And Brandon leaves us off with another cliff hanger-ish. Ben and Logan are hiding something...but not a person. Hmmm. Honestly not sure here, but definitely curious. They do seem to know of the Hutt Empire, I guess, but they haven't heard of Tatooine, which I think is an interesting twist. Err, Ben hasn't heard of it, Logan might have, I guess.

All in all, my biggest complaint is that the chapter still leaves us with many questions, and no more content until the Force only knowns when (date please?). The character interaction and development is great here.
