STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

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.
 
the cut from bix screaming to the screaming of the drill in the prison was just *chef's kiss*

this show has been nothing less than great. and if it is true it is the least watched d+ star wars content (which, to be fair, i can't imagine boatloads of kids are watching this like they might the other shows, so...), then i really hope the largely positive critical reception it is receiving is enough to keep shows like this in the pipeline.

It's strange, but I think people might be just burnt out, as I've heard nothing but praise about Andor from everyone I know who has seen it. But I haven't started it yet, can't be arsed.

Did you like Rogue One? You gotta watch, it's exactly NOTHING like any of the other series. It's one of the best Star Wars "things" I've ever seen. And I am super picky with this stuff.

I did! I'm just tired of the pre-stuff, I guess. I like The Mandalorian because most of that story is adjacent and not preparatory.

It's my third favorite "thing" after the original two films, knocking Return of the Jedi to fourth.

I think the issue was it dropped around the same time as Rings of Power and HotD and kinda got lost in all the "fantasy" programming. I really hope people go back and watch as it's fantastic.

Totally agree. Although Rogue One is still in front of Jedi for me.
