-Fish- posted:It's looking more and more like it was just due to Disney worrying that Book of Henry's bad rep was going to hit the box office take than anything else. Based on the state of the leaked tie-in material, it's a safe assumption that Trevorrow's version of ep9 was a lot further along in production than has previously been indicated. If it was creative differences that probably would have popped up before the movie was 80% done. Also, the thing is, we weren’t getting that movie regardless. Those drafts were largely pre-Carrie passing. So that movie probably exists in some alternate reality where she was still with us. Her death just started the ball rolling that gave them cold feet.

Boba Fett let Bossk win at the end of the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Even Bossk was confused.

The final season of TCW is out today. So that's what I'm doing this weekend. Hopefully it's good. The Lost Missions had one good arc, and one pretty dumb one.

I'm hoping it's something interesting. I realized the other day that, other than the last issue of the Kylo Ren comic and the Art of TROS book next month, there's not really anything on the Star Wars horizon I'm super looking forward to. Well, The Mandalorian S2 but I feel like that's kind of its own thing.

Yeah, everything we've been hearing about the "High Republic" is that it's ~400 years prior to ANH. I doubt they'll be able to resist a Yoda cameo, but that's about the only character they can drop in there

Sounds likely. Into the Dark cover blurb: “Padawan Reath Silas is being sent from the cosmopolitan galactic capital of Coruscant to the undeveloped frontier—and he couldn’t be less happy about it. He’d rather stay at the Jedi Temple, studying the archives. But when the ship he’s traveling on is knocked out of hyperspace in a galactic-wide disaster, Reath finds himself at the center of the action. The Jedi and their traveling companions find refuge on what appears to be an abandoned space station. But then strange things start happening, leading the Jedi to investigate the truth behind the mysterious station, a truth that could end in tragedy….” https://books.disney.com/book/into-the-dark/ Maybe this big kick off event at the start of the first book is something which screws up hyperspace travel?

Seems cool, though 200 years feels really close to the movie era. Although I'm probably thrown off a bit by the Legends timeline where everything's been around for millennia and the last thousand years before the movies were relatively uneventful; new canon seems to have a much more compact timeline.

I remember way back in 2005 the New Essential Chronology mentioned that it was in 200 BBY that the Jedi realized the dark side of the Force was growing in power. That always struck me as something that might have come from some planned story which never ended up happening (especially as I know there were a few other bits in NEC from stories planned at the time which never happened). I wonder if that is so, if that scrapped idea was the seed for what ended up as the High Republic project now.

Hey uh. My friend got into Star Wars via Mandy and I thought to check out the OP here for some recs and uh, the optics look extremely bad with only one women in the recced authors list, and she's got an attached screed about how she's the devil incarnate. Could you uh, update it? Please?

Add balance by pointing out that Troy Denning is also Satan incarnate (More seriously heard good things about Claudia Gray but that's new canon stuff I haven't read)

Claudia Gray is fine. If you go with Karen Traviss stick to her first three Republic Commando books and nothing else, like the OP says. I'm actually drawing a blank for other female writers in Star Wars that are anywhere close to contemporary. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Feb 29, 2020 |

I think the episode IX novelization is being written by a woman. Nnedi Okorafor did a Star Wars short story a few years ago. Just forget Star Wars and read her original stuff.

For the new canon, Claudia Grey is good and Delilah S Dawson is good, and they've written multiple books. Christie Golden wrote a couple and they're... Fine. Ahsoka by E.K Johnson is fun but probably only works you've got a preexisting attachment to the character thanks through Clone Wars/Rebels. E.K Johnson also wrote Queen's Shadow, but I haven't read that yet so can't comment. Resistance Reborn was written by Rebecca Roanhorse and is okay (but is probably not a great place to start because it's sort of a capstone to the whole thing before TROS).

Also if your friend doesn't mind reading comics, Doctor Aphra is about a morally dubious space Indiana Jones who is a lady, though it's written by a dude (Kieron Gillen, who is very good)

Thats the only other old canon one I can think of, Disney has done better on that Besides Traviss, Kathy Tyers, and Vonda McIntyre, there was also Rebecca Moesta and Nancy Richardson (Young/Junior Jedi Knights), Barbara Hambly (Callista stuff), Christie Golden (Traviss replacement), and Elaine Cunningham (Dark Journey). Oh, the late-stage Princess Leia novel was done by a first-timer woman, too. Probably a few short story people also. Comics-wise there were a number of women, most prominently Jan Duursema. Who actually came back to do the special #108 issue of the original Marvel comic run last year.

EK Johnston is a good author...but she's got some weird views about Star Wars. She went on a big twitter rant about the prequels glorifying abuse, and she praises Padmé for delivering a "break up speech" on Mustafar
