The Book Of Boba Fett Trailer Review

-

Hello there! After a month off from the blog, the release of the first The Book Of Boba Fett trailer has brought me back.

When this series was announced at the end of The Mandalorian Season 2, I wasn’t particularly hyped for it, and felt it overshadowed the Mandalorian somewhat, and that despite the fact I’ve always been a fan of Boba, I own Fett artwork, figures and clothing!

The trailer looks very cool, very Tatooine and Jabba’s Boba’s Palace centric, and jam packed with Original Trilogy and Return of the Jedi aliens, from Gamorrean Guards, to Twi’leks, Tuskens, Trandoshans and my favorite species of all - an Ithorian with a speaking role!!! Which makes this nerd wonder if his boy Max Rebo could make an appearance, every crimelord needs entertaining right?! There are some great visuals, the Tusken’s walking through the sandstorm, the huge sunken city both stuck in my mind.



The story seems to be focused on Boba Fett taking over Jabba’s criminal underworld which has fractured among his old captain’s in his absence with Boba wanting to rule through respect rather than fear - You suspect that this approach may not work! There are no signs of flashbacks or Omega making an appearance (so far), but the trailer did not give too much away, much like the trailers for the Mandalorian, and I do wonder whether the show is going to be based off the SW underworld movie that was once in development as an anthology film like Rogue One and Solo.



So did this trailer get me more excited for a show I was lukewarm about? Yes, although I’m still not as excited as I am for some of the other shows coming in 2022, I am very much down for Sopranos on Tatooine.

Into The Dark Book Review [SPOILERS]

-

  This was the second High Republic novel for me, and Claudia Gray is my favorite Star Wars author so there was a bit of pressure for me. Into the Dark is a Young Adult novel, but we know from Lost Stars that is no problem. I loved this entry into the High Republic story but I don’t think it quite cracks my Claudia Gray top 3. Claudia Gray’s biggest strength is getting inside characters heads, and each of her previous books has really focused on one or two characters, but Into the Dark is far more of an ensemble, and I did miss that laser focus a little. However I really liked all of the characters in this book and they all get plenty of development, Reath, our main protagonist I really connected with. He is a bookish and studious padawan, who prefers to read about adventure rather than experience it and I found it interesting that he was described as not having as strong a connection to the force but making up for it with hard work and knowledge. I don’t want to ignore the rather larg

Shadow of the Sith Review [SPOILERS]

Shadow of the Sith is one of the most anticipated Star Wars books of recent years, with a lot of pressure put upon it by many to explain events in the sequel trilogy. So did it live up to expectations? For me it does, not that I expected it to explain everything - we have plenty of time to explore and fill in the intervening years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Let’s not forget that it took    9 years for us to learn why the Clones turned on the Jedi so easily (season 6 of the Clone Wars in 2014). There are two main threads to the story, Lando trying to save Rey’s family from Ochi of Bestoon and Luke’s discovery of a mysterious dark side user. The book is littered with connections to all parts of Star Wars canon, the Acolytes of Beyond first mentioned in the Aftermath trilogy play an important part, Luke goes to Tython which we saw in the Mandalorian, a young Enric Pryde (TROS) makes an appearance as does Shriv Suurgav who first appeared in Battlefront II. These are
