Anders wrote: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.

Fandom is raving about it. All the seemingly pointless threads and hints dropped in the new canon books all tie up and pay off.

I haven’t read it due to finance issues but it’s a must read before the film I’m told

Anders wrote:The second half of the book was mostly like reading exactly what happened in the movie, without all the fancy colours and action.

I think Jason Fry did a good job, but I don’t think he had a great story to work with. The TFA book was written a bit more coldly, but the story just made better sense.

Anyway, I’ve now read both TFA and TLJ. Finally onwards to Resistance Reborn.
