'' Let's focus on our main characters: Luke, Han and Leia '' - Are you sure you aren't missing someone? I bet you also think that he doesen't deserve a medal. #wookieelivesmatter
thanks! I've been working on some Rogue One stuff but the lack of reference photos is making it tricky. I'm hoping the new trailer on Friday will answer some questions for me!
I really loved the interludes from the first book, so I am glad to see him branch off and continue those same stories in more interludes... It was a good book!
AJ Issilie while it hasn't had a new episode in a while, give the Star Wars new canon book club a listen on Sound cloud. They discuss the new canon material I.e. the books , comics, movies and the shows though they only got to season three of Clone wars so Rebels is a good way off and such.
Glad to find a review that enjoys these books as much as I do! I thought the action and adventure was pretty good but especially appreciated all the character development. Also, the rag tag group of bounty hunters led by Nora is got even better in this book. Sinjir deserves a special shout out ;)
Sheeve is so short sighted and cocky, If all of the empire (or at least most) retreated back to the unknown regions, they could have come back in 30 years to take over the galaxy when the resistance was extremly weak. Instead the first order is the bare bones, scraps of the empire that was small in numbers. However I do like how the tie fighters had hyperdrives in TROS, cool throwback to one of the weaknesses of the empire's tie fighters.
Do you think that Evaan is a bit of a call back to Winter from Legends? I have never read the Princess Leia comics, so when I first read about her and the fact that she had light hair, was Alderaanian, and was in Leia's inner circle for a long time, it of course made me think of Winter.
I'd say that saying the Eclipse from Dark Empire is canon is a bit of a leap; more likely Wendig's named the missing SSD "Eclipse" as a nod and an easter egg for Legends fans, and it's the same as any other SSD.
I can't see how Disney would leave Boba dead. He's a cash cow for them and sells the most action figures. He's also a great character and I'd love for Marvel to do a Boba Fett series like Dark Horse did in the 90's.
Now that I've read the book (the third still isn't out in german) I can say that I really enjoyed it, just like the first one. The writing didn't bother me at all, however one has to mention that during the translation into german the style changes a bit, due to the language being that different, the books are almost allways double the thickness in german. But yeah, great Book, love to have another Character for crazy Droid Squadron :D
So they find Chewie then haha well I guess that's a given since he's in VII better come back after I finish the book just in case...Loving it so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're a bit off for the timeline of the prologue/epilogue. They are after The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith. Also if you're unfamiliar with the exact chronology in terms of years, Palpatine is already damaged by the force lightning and all wrinkly and **** so that's a pretty big hint right there
I really hope we get an official drawing of that new republic capital ship. Even if they were the knee in TFA. You could barley make them out. Side note I hope in future movies we see what's left of the republic military after TFA.
I'm not convinced that Rax is Snoke either, but I think it is very likely that he is Force-sensitive. I cannot fathom Palpatine taking the obvious liking to him that he did without that being the case.
Origin of the Dark Side? Oh Palpatine, if only you knew of Bogan... Please, Gallius Rax is an interesting (secondary) character, but please, not Snoke. Just...no. Maybe Rae is secretly Pellaeon's aspirant niece? Shadow Council. (*slits throat, reads Daala's take over scene*) Poor Mas. The one time he gets a significant amount of screen time, and he develops suicidal thoughts. ECLIPSE IS CANON?! WHAT?!?! YEAHOO! Hey, Evaan's in the novels now! Yay! Dang, Disney actually went dark with the Wookiee slavery and war. For once...Dark event? I'm calling Bad Batch. Where is Fett? Becoming Mandalore the Renewer. Nice video, can't wait for more.
I wish that instead of "rebels" we got "Star Wars civil war" as a continuation of clone wars with it taking place between ANH and ESB and then between ESB and ROTJ and then a season or 2 after ROTJ. Main characters would be Luke Han Leah Chewy with some episodes devoted to characters like Wedge, Lando, Nien Nunb, and maybe even Admiral Ackbar
Don't forget we're getting four live action Netflix shows somewhere down the line. With Lucasfilms looking for new actors to play the younger trio, and Hamill pushing for them to hire Sebastian Stan to play Luke, we might very well get this.
just got done reading it took me a while don't know how long, wasn't counting days but I found it very enjoyable better than the first which I enjoyed a little less however
I want fett alive, cause I mean he was in the armor when he fell in... It wouldn't make sense and I don't think the sarlacc is smart enough to open it up, since his armor is what allowed him to live
What if Gallius Rax ain't Snoke, but the unknown villain played by Benecio Del Toro? Think about it for a second, a force sensitive fleet admiral with extensive experience in the political realm. That sounds like something Toro would play well.
I would be down for that. They would have to age up Del Toro. Also I don't quite buy that Rax is Force sensitive. He resists Palpatine's call, but that could simply mean he's strong-willed.
Star Wars Explained Good point. Still, this cat sounds a hell of a lot like Thrawn. I hope this indicates that they use some bits from his respective book for 8.
Totally agree with you there. He seems like a Thrawn counterpart. I would be surprised to see him survive through the Aftermath Trilogy, BUT I would be so down to see him on the big screen.
Also, how did all those super star destroyers get destroyed so easily. I mean like 11 within like a couple months or had the rebels destroyed any before Endor.
Actually, only five of them were destroyed in battle. Three were surrendered or captured by the New Republic. One was captured by pirates. One made a bad hyperspace jump in a panicked escaped and was destroyed in a gravity well. The Executor was already lost at the Battle of Endor. That leaves the Ravager and the Eclipse.
Tyler Crebs good luck, lost stars is pretty eh. it's basically a teen romance novel with the main characters Forrest gumping their way through the events of New hope to the Battle of Jakku(don't expect anything on the actual battle)
Also, there's a difference between the Eclipse-class ship from Legends, and a normal Super Star Destroyer named Eclipse by the author as a nod to the Legends story.
+Tim Smith But remember, there are already unique SSD's who look nothing like the standard model. Eclipse can still be in fact an Eclipse Class SSD. Like the variations of the SSD's that were longer and skinny, or had tons more engines then Normal.

so I have a theory that has probably been sad before but we will see. so it goes like this Jakku is the planet that Raven found in the book of Raven. witch could mean that the emperor of the Sith form back in the day may be Snoke witch would make him very old to say the least
I am disappointed that Grand Admiral Rax wasn't Thrawn. I would not have been disappointed if Wendig did not set him up to be Thrawn at the end of the first book. But they seemed too similar. However, I believe Filoni already has a direction for Thrawn in Rebels, which will hopefully tie into future movies. He is far too important of a character and will probably be a major player. I thought, after learning that the Grand Admiral was not Thrawn, that Rax would be a knockoff, but where Thrawn had personality and was actually a very pleasant person, Rax was downright emotionless and creepy.
MisterCharlton it's old now but well he couldn't be Thrawn as Thrawn was being brought into canon through rebels and his own new canon book.It dissapointed me when I found out that Mr Bones was originally planned to be HK-47 from Kotor but Lucasfilm story group said hell no
Ummm, I guess the book was okay. It started bad and got better towards the end. Does anyone else just feel that Chuck Wendig is a really shitty writer?
You forgot to mention the therapy Ewoks. Ewoks brought to the core worlds to give therapy to rebel soldiers.
'' Let's focus on our main characters: Luke, Han and Leia '' - Are you sure you aren't missing someone? I bet you also think that he doesen't deserve a medal.
#wookieelivesmatter
#stopthehate
Oh so stormtrooper lives don't matter?
+shave your head And go to sleep sadly, no.
wookiee* For someone who claims that Wookiee lives matter, you sure don't know how to spell it :P
Lando?
This book could literally just be 300 pages of "THE ECLIPSE IS CANON" and I would still pay full price for it. :D
Lol I screamed like a little girl when I read that
Me too
Yes! Haha! Oh, I'm happy, SOOO very much happy!
can you do a video of jabba's palace after return of the jedi? plz?
I'm not the biggest fan of dark empire but the eclipse is an awesome ship and glad it's canon.
My feelings exactly haha
+Star Wars Explained episode 8 of remanent of Empire vs first order
Freddy Ishere how? the imperial remnant is gone save for the ones that left for unknown regions and became the First order.
one day I'll get around to reading these...
Hey man! Love your tutorials!
thanks! I've been working on some Rogue One stuff but the lack of reference photos is making it tricky. I'm hoping the new trailer on Friday will answer some questions for me!
Do you ever go to Dragon*Con? People are big into cosplay there, they'd go nuts over your stuff!
I've been their twice and you're right, it's fantastic! I'm hoping to go again this year but it will all depend on my work schedule.
Shoot me an email if you do, we can meet up :)
I really loved the interludes from the first book, so I am glad to see him branch off and continue those same stories in more interludes... It was a good book!
Thank you so much for this, I love Star Wars but simply cannot afford all the books. I just love this, the visuals, information and all.
AJ Issilie while it hasn't had a new episode in a while, give the Star Wars new canon book club a listen on Sound cloud. They discuss the new canon material I.e. the books , comics, movies and the shows though they only got to season three of Clone wars so Rebels is a good way off and such.
I think it's kinda funny how the New Republic straight up Grand Theft Autos the Imperial Star Destroyers and turn them into their own.
Wow, the Eclipse is canon? Hype!
you're goddamn right there should be hype, please have that laser.
A.K.A Matt
Yeah! :D
TheTechno Maybe the new EU could be good... maybe
A.K.A Matt
It is really shaping up to be that way...
TheTechno Still missing vital parts though, mainly old republic and thrawn/pealleon
Mr feet, mr Bob a feet?
Ha ha robot chicken references
Sure... whatever.
i like that the people of aldeeran built a new space station
I really love how the new cannon is very slowly revealing new legends material.
Glad to find a review that enjoys these books as much as I do! I thought the action and adventure was pretty good but especially appreciated all the character development. Also, the rag tag group of bounty hunters led by Nora is got even better in this book. Sinjir deserves a special shout out ;)
I can't lie, I loved Lost Stars, especially Yendor, so it's great for me to see him in Bloodline and the Aftermath books.
Looking forward to learning more about the whole Boba Fett mystery
Sheeve is so short sighted and cocky, If all of the empire (or at least most) retreated back to the unknown regions, they could have come back in 30 years to take over the galaxy when the resistance was extremly weak. Instead the first order is the bare bones, scraps of the empire that was small in numbers. However I do like how the tie fighters had hyperdrives in TROS, cool throwback to one of the weaknesses of the empire's tie fighters.
I don't know much of the old canon, but this new canon is just... wow...
We need more books between VI and VII. These are just so entertaining.
***** Yea we should get more books before I and a Yoda origin book would be awesome
I loved both books and the third cones near my birthday
So happy about the Eclipse
Do you think that Evaan is a bit of a call back to Winter from Legends? I have never read the Princess Leia comics, so when I first read about her and the fact that she had light hair, was Alderaanian, and was in Leia's inner circle for a long time, it of course made me think of Winter.
I'd say that saying the Eclipse from Dark Empire is canon is a bit of a leap; more likely Wendig's named the missing SSD "Eclipse" as a nod and an easter egg for Legends fans, and it's the same as any other SSD.
I just noticed this was released on my birthday
"Pieces of the destroyed Death Star" looks like the thing that destroyed them is now their home
Well, I'm ready to dive into this book!
I cringed so hard at 5:05 when I saw the TIEs shooting RED LASERS?!
RED?! REALLY GUYS?
Yeah im nitpicky!
Would have loved to have seen this as a live action series
Please make a video on Aurra Sing next!!!p.s. love your channel
My reading will be expedited just so i can watch this video in full!
I can't see how Disney would leave Boba dead. He's a cash cow for them and sells the most action figures. He's also a great character and I'd love for Marvel to do a Boba Fett series like Dark Horse did in the 90's.
well boba was the armour so maybe boba fett becomes a title for bad ass characters you know "i was no one before i put on the armour"
I have to pick this book up just to read about kashyyyk and the wookies haha
Maybe they're digging up/waking up Snoke on Jakku.
GrndMstrGravity nope. it was a star map to the unknown regions.
DCT did you just spoil Empire's End? Ass.
Now that I've read the book (the third still isn't out in german)
I can say that I really enjoyed it, just like the first one. The writing didn't bother me at all, however one has to mention that during the translation into german the style changes a bit, due to the language being that different, the books are almost allways double the thickness in german.
But yeah, great Book, love to have another Character for crazy Droid Squadron :D
Einfach auf englisch lesen :)
Love Sloane will be interesting to see what happens with her. Also....made that Ameeda video too early! We all love learning about him.
Maybe the local lawman who took fett's armor is Jodo Last or a similar kind of character who will serve as Nova's replacement until Boba returns.
well boba was the armour so maybe boba fett becomes a title for bad ass characters you know "i was no one before i put on the armour"
I never planned on reading this or the first Aftermath, but now I regret it.
Could you do one about Jakku? My head is now spinning from all this pointing to Jakku, even before speculation...
AWESOME VIDEO
PLEASE DO THIS FOR EMPIRES END WHEN IT RELEASES
Dang typical Fett trivia, just like in the movies, we don't really know, it's exciting !
Star Wars explained can you do a video about havoc squad
So they find Chewie then haha well I guess that's a given since he's in VII better come back after I finish the book just in case...Loving it so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm reading the first one now
Do you say it is must to read the first aftermath to be able to follow this one
I preferred the first book to the secondvook, second one was harder to read through
Cool video, I'm too lazy to read the book
haha same
Audio books FTW
Gonzales98
Got to love a good 'ol edumacational book
The interludes? Fun?!
Can you please make a Video about "STAR WARS Lost Stars"?
You're a bit off for the timeline of the prologue/epilogue. They are after The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith. Also if you're unfamiliar with the exact chronology in terms of years, Palpatine is already damaged by the force lightning and all wrinkly and **** so that's a pretty big hint right there
PatKenobi1 Aftermath is 5 ABY and the clone Wars took place between 22 and 19 BBY. So the chapter take place 25 BBY
What did you make of the darkness Leia felt when she sensed she had a boy, immediately after sending the light? Was it an omen?
I really hope we get an official drawing of that new republic capital ship. Even if they were the knee in TFA. You could barley make them out. Side note I hope in future movies we see what's left of the republic military after TFA.
I'm not convinced that Rax is Snoke either, but I think it is very likely that he is Force-sensitive. I cannot fathom Palpatine taking the obvious liking to him that he did without that being the case.
Bluegrass Vape plus spoiler:
Rax is killed by Slone
who else is happy that the eclipse is now canon ? i am !
The book has already been out for only a day!!!! How did you finish that fast!! 😳
It released early in the US
+Doctor “Hicks” Fletcher wait. I live in the U.S. and I waited all the way to July 12th!!!!!!! Damn it!
he got it early to review from the publisher
+Mollie Damon oh ok, that makes sense. Lol lucky! XD
Leia's dream about twins, and han's death
when is the last aftermath book coming out
January. I can't remember the specific date.
January 2017
ok thabks
Origin of the Dark Side? Oh Palpatine, if only you knew of Bogan...
Please, Gallius Rax is an interesting (secondary) character, but please, not Snoke. Just...no.
Maybe Rae is secretly Pellaeon's aspirant niece?
Shadow Council. (*slits throat, reads Daala's take over scene*)
Poor Mas. The one time he gets a significant amount of screen time, and he develops suicidal thoughts.
ECLIPSE IS CANON?! WHAT?!?! YEAHOO!
Hey, Evaan's in the novels now! Yay!
Dang, Disney actually went dark with the Wookiee slavery and war. For once...Dark event? I'm calling Bad Batch.
Where is Fett? Becoming Mandalore the Renewer.
Nice video, can't wait for more.
The Battle of Kashyyyk in this novel is one of the best things in this new """""canon""""". RIP Expanded Universe.
+Rage Team Not to disagree with you, but the EU wasn't 100% trash. And if you're consider a witty comeback, it wasn’t 99% trash either.
+Harrison Dansie More like everything after Return of The Jedi is trash, but everything before the prequels were amazing.
+AwesomeTiger468 Agreed.
Harrison Dansie I meant that the EU was much better.
I wish that instead of "rebels" we got "Star Wars civil war" as a continuation of clone wars with it taking place between ANH and ESB and then between ESB and ROTJ and then a season or 2 after ROTJ. Main characters would be Luke Han Leah Chewy with some episodes devoted to characters like Wedge, Lando, Nien Nunb, and maybe even Admiral Ackbar
Don't forget we're getting four live action Netflix shows somewhere down the line. With Lucasfilms looking for new actors to play the younger trio, and Hamill pushing for them to hire Sebastian Stan to play Luke, we might very well get this.
+Jacob Sailer they ccould get han from the anthology film for it
Same I suck at reading
just got done reading it took me a while don't know how long, wasn't counting days but I found it very enjoyable better than the first which I enjoyed a little less however
Amazon not sending my copy till January
Good video but I completely disagree with the review part.
Found the book boring and confusing, nothing like the great Legends novels
I want fett alive, cause I mean he was in the armor when he fell in... It wouldn't make sense and I don't think the sarlacc is smart enough to open it up, since his armor is what allowed him to live
What if Gallius Rax ain't Snoke, but the unknown villain played by Benecio Del Toro? Think about it for a second, a force sensitive fleet admiral with extensive experience in the political realm. That sounds like something Toro would play well.

Totally agree with you there. He seems like a Thrawn counterpart. I would be surprised to see him survive through the Aftermath Trilogy, BUT I would be so down to see him on the big screen.
what if Getting lost his memory?
Also, how did all those super star destroyers get destroyed so easily. I mean like 11 within like a couple months or had the rebels destroyed any before Endor.

One made a bad hyperspace jump in a panicked escaped and was destroyed in a gravity well. The Executor was already lost at the Battle of Endor. That leaves the Ravager and the Eclipse.
Star Wars Explained I really want to see a pirate gang or a new republic super star destroyer
i hope fett actually lived and is now trying to find his armor and will kill anyone that gets in his way
Hello my fellow aftermath
Starting life debt and empires end after lost stars
Tyler Crebs good luck, lost stars is pretty eh. it's basically a teen romance novel with the main characters Forrest gumping their way through the events of New hope to the Battle of Jakku(don't expect anything on the actual battle)
what really is the Eclipse canon? but in wookiepedia it says that is still legends
Maybe because the book released only the other day and the editors haven't had the chance to update it
Yeah maybe
Also, there's a difference between the Eclipse-class ship from Legends, and a normal Super Star Destroyer named Eclipse by the author as a nod to the Legends story.
+Tim Smith But remember, there are already unique SSD's who look nothing like the standard model. Eclipse can still be in fact an Eclipse Class SSD. Like the variations of the SSD's that were longer and skinny, or had tons more engines then Normal.

watch dash stars video
If they are using the limbs from the EU's corspe, they should bring back Boba.
I don't like how they have Luke absent😐. I like legends/EU and how he was very much involved.
just bring boba back for fucks sake
I wont write third right here
You were fourth anyway
+Colin Dowd Thank god
