Is this the first or second series?
The second one? The one written by Charles Seole that starts seconds after ROTS. The part I just read is when he goes to that planet to hunt down the Jedi who took the Barash vow.
Ok. Yeah. It ties in much more with current movies, tv shows, etc... than the first series. Enjoy.
:heartbeat:

I really dig it so far. Vader translates SO well to the graphic novel format. I'd love to see them adapt this run to a short live action series, though.

I still think back to the book I read where Kanan and Hera meet and team up. It was such a fun book. I'd love them to do Rebels-prequel series or mini-series about that.

I would love to see them adapt some of the novels into movies or mini-series. Even animated would be cool.

Bought The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi novels today. Not expecting too much, but thought it would be a good read going into The Rise Of Skywalker.

The TLJ book really really elaborates on a lot of great stuff. Particularly Luke.
You’re in for a treat there.

I’m pretty sure you’ll be back soon saying ‘why didn’t they include that! And that!’ about many things :)

It is at home waiting for me. Can't wait to read it sitting by the fireplace during the cold week we are supposed to have.

Finished The Force Awakens. I enjoyed it, even if it was written a little flat. The story itself is a really solid Star Wars story. I did not get to know Rey better, which is a shame. Poe and Leia got more time in the book though, and I liked their parts. Finn was vital to the story, and reading the book, it often felt as if he was the main character.

Interesting new parts:
1. Poe escaping Jakku
2. Explaining Starkiller Base better
3. Korr Sella died on Hosnian Prime
4. C-3PO lead the resistance to Maz’s castle
5. Leia tells Han about Snoke driving Ben/Kylo to the dark side for the first time during TFA
6. Kylo seems to have heard of Rey before TFA (at one point he says, «it is you!»)

I’ve just started The Last Jedi, which starts with Luke dreaming about a married life on Tatooine, where he didn’t with Obi-Wan. Leia got executed and the Empire won. He wakes up and thinks the force is trying to manipulate him.
