STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

Thanks to my library and the internet, I'm just a couple of miniseries TPBs away from having caught up on the entirety of Marvel's canon output since regaining the Star Wars license. Some of it is really really good and a solid chunk of it is okay-good. I was just reading the first two TPBs of the current core title and got quite a kick out of Charles Soule dropping High Republic tidbits into the classic timeline. Certainly makes sense with him writing in both eras.

Also, Doctor Aphra is pretty consistently one of the biggest brightest beacons of awesome in the entire Marvel Star Wars catalogue.

I agree, Soule has been awesome. I had only read parts of the Vader series and none of the flagship title since the Disney relaunch (mainly because OT era comics don’t sound exciting to me), but I started picking up the title after Soule joined in 2019 and I’m glad I did. I can’t think of a thing he’s written that isn’t fantastic.

He also wrote The Rise of Kyle Ren miniseries, which is really him just using his writing to try and prop up those sequels and try to make them make more sense. In that series Ben/Kylo finds an old Jedi holocron to study, which takes the form of Avar Kriss, almost a year before Light of The Jedi came out. I hope the Star Wars bigwigs appreciate how much this one writer is doing for their franchise right now, and I’d love for him to keep getting these opportunities.

Tempest Runner hardcover came yesterday, so I guessI'll have to read that next?

It's surprisingly thick, though with the script-style text it'll probably be a really quick read. I have all these other novels sitting in queue but I feel like I should give this a read through, followed by Mission to Disaster, so I can close the book on the phase 1 novels.

Tempest Runner was very easy to devour. What a fun excursion!

Still waiting for my paperback copies of the Phase 1 YA novels to show up, but I'm moving on to The Fallen Star anyway and will come back around to those ones whenever they finally show.

I really suggest you wait to read Fallen Star so you can get ahold of Into The Dark and Out of the Shadows, the former is written by Claudia Gray and introduces a bunch of characters you'll see in the Fallen Star, and OotS has a couple very important plot points.

Midnight Horizon is a fun epilogue to the Adventures series and kind of an endcap to the all the phase 1 middle-grade stuff.

Dangit!

This 3 month delay on those paperbacks has me feeling very impatient!

I'll find something else for now I guess (like finishing From a Certain Point of View!)

How's phase 2 so far?

I'm only a couple chapters into Path of Deceit but so far it's great, interesting for the phase to start with a YA novel. I get my comic pullist through dcbs and just get a package at the end of the month so I can't comment on the comics yet.
 
I hear Andor is the least watched Disney+ Star Wars thing.

And then I look at how they're advertising it to me:

I think it'll hold together really well as a whole and will have long legs after it airs in full, but there's got to be a different image you could pick to draw a person in.

Well it doesn't involve space wizards and has very little fan service so naturally it's not very popular with people who need all that to make them Star Wars happy. It's like fans of a band being angry that they want to play the new songs off their album when all those fans want is for them to play the hits.
