I need to get back on reading these. Do you think Tarkin and Bloodline are better than New Dawn and Dark Disciple?

Sorry I meant Thrawn was a bit of a letdown. Tarkin I loved. And lords of the sith.

It's pretty obvious Thrawn has more books coming. So I'll wait before I write it off completely.

Really liked Dark Disciple. Never read new dawn.

So many of the new star wars books sound unnecessary and don't add anything substantial to the overall story world. Maybe one will come along that will grab me.

The old Thrawn trilogy books were amazing. It's probably not fair to compare them. Man I sound old and jaded. I'll see myself out.

If you like/watch Clone Wars or Rebels, there are some that absolutely add to the story world.

I've heard/read many reviews that tell me that these books add a lot actually. That's the only reason I care & want to read them.

i bought bloodline awhile back, but haven't even made it out of the first chapter. things like an arrested development re-watch and twin peaks have gotten in the way.

The new canon books do add a lot. It's just down to how invested you are or interested you are. You could not read any of them and get by. But once TLJ is out and the second wave of books start emerging that's where it's going to really start developing and deepening the story of the film and filling out the background details and reasons

I guess I have a disagreement about what constitutes a substantial narrative arc in a fictional world.

You may be right about the second wave.

I've read a few of the new novels. I can't agree with dime either. Nothing adds "a lot."

I mean, a book like this one gives you a lot of information about the Falcon. None of it matters.

There's no toilet on the falcon. The more you know.

I've been considering reading Heir To The Jedi.

I have zero knowledge of that book. Let us know what you think!

Will do. All I know is I think the cover looks cool and it takes place between New Hope and Empire.

And it's any official canon book, yeah?

Yes official cannon. Well that's what wiki says anyways.

It is canon.
