Lost Stars

This post contains no spoilers.




Yesterday evening I finished reading Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Lost Stars by Claudia Gray. It was my 191st Star Wars novel, and I really enjoyed it.

It took an in depth view of not just the Rebellion, but Empire as well. Plus there were references to Star Wars Rebels, the prequels, the Originals (of course) and...

Yes! The Force Awakens!

The back cover of the book had promised all-new post-Return of the Jedi content, but getting there... wow. With the EU no longer canon, every description of the new system and new scape of politics was breathtaking for me. Not everyone revels in Star Wars politics. I do. Naboo's importance, who's in charge after Endor... what Mas Amedda's up to... so much amazing info.

But not just that.

Jakku.

And a certain crashed Star Destroyer we've all seen in the trailers.

If you haven't read Lost Stars yet, I'd highly recommend it. Whether you enjoy the style of the book or not, the Jakku info means going into the theater this December and having that planet and that crashed destroyer mean something.

Mean a lot.

May the Force be with you!
