[The Scottish Nightmare]

He does appear in the other two YA novels but he’s just a side character. He isn’t the main focus. i imagine he will play a larger role for the sequel series.
I don’t remember him in the main books. He might have been referenced in one of them

For those who are reading the High Republic novels, are there any others that predominantly feature Reath Silas, from Into The Dark? I really liked his character and storyline.

The main ones I found are Out Of The Shadows and Midnight Horizon. Just want to make sure I’m not missing any.

That's basically it for now; I wouldn't expect to see any more of him until Phase III when they cycle back to the late-High Republic era (which should be sometime around Q4 of this year.)

anyone know if the High Republic prequel novel Convergence and the other one are they any good since they take place before regular main 3 High Republic novels?

I still need to read Rising Storm or Fallen Star. Which one is the third book? I forgot

I actually enjoyed them more than the first three. There are less characters and the stories are better.
Falling Star is the third one

Cataclysm the second High Republic prequel prequel comes out in April. I wouldnt mind getting into Convergence but id rather just stick with Falling Star to finish the main High Republic prequel trilogy

Just a few weeks ago I idly wondered if they were going to do that.

I've been assuming they would since they did a second one for Empire Strikes Back.

I wonder why they decided to put the first season of Andor with Kenobi, instead of waiting to do a full series one after Season 2 came out?

 

[Reverend]

I can take or leave the 'Certain Point of View' books personally. There's usually only two or three genuinely interesting stories, and the rest seem to range from easy to forget, to wish I *could* forget.

That said; If they're shifing enough copies to justify it, I wouldn't be surprised if they do something similar for the PT movies as their 25th or 30th anniversaries roll around in a few years time.

Supposedly these things haven't been selling all that well, which is why the one they made for the first season of 'The Mandalorian' was cancelled.
So I can only guess they're trying a new approach by rolling material from multiple shows into one book with a thematic connection, so it's not strictly speaking tie-in merchandise.

It was cancelled because of the story evolving.

September release? Good enough for me. been waiting long enough anyway. Wonder if t here wilil be any other weird stories involving the Rancor, the sarlaac and whatever the ewoks were doing before Luke and Han and Leia arrived on Endor.

hope theyre not stupid like the sentient Tauntaun family and the asteroid space worm thing in Empire Strikes Back From a Certain Point of View

You do know all the stories in the ACPV books are meant to be tall tales right?
Hence the title of the book.

Why not have fun with it? That's what a lot of the previous anthology books did. Some were serious and some were ridiculous.

 

[urrutiap]

well i really didnt like the tauntaun family in the Empire Strikes Back From a Certain Point of View book.

Im hoping if theres one or two Ewoks stories, i hope they dont end up stupid or whatever

Just started re-reading Star Wars Deathtroopers the zombie novel for the 3rd time.

Dunno why Im re-reading it again but the story was and still is fun

 

[The Gatekeeper]

I always liked the bit in that novel where

Spoiler: in case anyone hasn't read this yet

Chewie gets infected by the zombie virus and has nightmares about being a zombie and killing his family on Life Day.
