It says this is going be a "non-fiction" book from DK, and I'm curious exactly what the approach is going to be. Is it just going about the ships, or the battles they were involved in?

have you read the Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire? its pretty much just "in universe" essay observations written by an in Star Wars universe journalist.

Technically, the author is supposed to be Beaumont Kin, the character played by Dominic Monaghan in The Rise of Skywalker, with the backstory being that he was a professor before joining the Resistance (and the real world author who wrote the book is similarly a professor of history).

It’s actually a pretty interesting book, obviously modeled The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (although a lot of what it has to say about how the Empire came to be has some uncomfortable resonance with current world events). The only nit I would have to pick with the book is the author’s constant use of the phrase “as will be discussed later….” to give it a more scholarly tone but that actually becomes irritating pretty quickly once you notice it.

No, but I was curious about what exactly it was. That does sound pretty interesting, and it sounds like Star Pilots could be taking a similar approach.

yeah i know that the "author" is Beaumont Kin. i read it before a year or two ago. it was alright.

dunno if the new upcoming Wedge book will be like that since its about essays about Rogue Squadron/X Wing crew
