Also, BOY does the author go out of his way to describe the lightsabers of these various Jedi in intricate detail.

It's like there was a checklist of "things Star Wars nerds like" and they just tried to fill in the blanks. And/or sell SaberForge products.

On the plus-side, it canonized different saber colors again afaik??? :toot: Golden-yellow and white are back on the menu. I know yellow had been canon from the Clone Wars series iirc, but only for very specific roles of Jedi.

I thought those colors were back in thanks to Rey/Temple Guardians and Ahsoka, respectively.

star wars ships travel at the speed of plot

This is all it really is. There’s no real thought into it other than “this will be so awesome on screen!” (see: light skipping, jumping to light speed inside an atmosphere, and the aforementioned latest speed boost).


And it is awesome. Until you start to think about it for even a moment. Then it’s dumb but awesome.

Keep in mind that this is Luke's second attempt at an apprentice after Leia lol

Is it? We don’t really know how far after ROTJ this takes place, right?

They also explicitly state Grogu would be his first student.
