Star Wars: A New Dawn

Product Information

I was well into the writing when I learned that the past works in the Expanded Universe were being rebranded as “Legends.” They weren’t being discarded, but rather would provide ideas and inspiration for the films, television shows, and new fiction to come. Resistance Reborn explains where some of the pilots making up The Rise of Skywalker‘s climatic battle came from, but it’s also a sort of capstone on the post-Original Trilogy era of books, pulling on a lot of story threads from Bloodline. Leia, Rey, Poe, Finn, and Rose search for allies in the brief period between the two final films. You can’t always guess what role someone will play.” — Hera Syndulla FIRST STEPS INTO A LARGER WORLD Disney XD Asia (November 11, 2014).

Upon arriving above Cynda, the rebels found that Count Vidian was trying to accelerate the moon's destruction by injecting xenoboric acid into its surface. Shortly thereafter, Vidian's ship Forager arrived to commence the moon's destruction. To disrupt the operations, Kanan used the ship's intercom to frighten the mining ship crew. At Kanan's instruction, Hera used the Expedient to harass the TIE fighters escorting the mining convoy. After a brief dogfight and pursuit, the rebels landed the Expedient in the Forager 's rear hangar bay. Skelly had brought a bag of improvised explosives with which he intended to kill Vidian and destroy his ship. The story here covers the first encounter of our newest heroes, Jedi Kanan Jarrus and freedom fighter Hera Syndulla (perhaps related to Clone Wars era fighter Cham Syndulla?) as the Rebellion begins in the form of small, isolated cells. It also provides our first look at the new era of Star Wars, wherein everything is officially canon, so in this regard it's a New Dawn in more ways than one.Despite his distrust of big business, Skelly also initially trusts the Empire to listen to his concerns. The Empire he thinks he lives in isn’t an evil one; instead, for Skelly and other veterans of the Clone Wars, it’s a chance for peace and economic stability. Skelly’s point of view helps the reader understand that, but he’s also even more of a wild card than Kanan. A number of tie-in media have been released to expand upon the series' lore such as the comic book series Kanan, the novel A New Dawn, and the novel series Thrawn. Characters, storylines, and elements introduced in the series would also appear in subsequent Star Wars media. The series' storyline continues in the Disney+ live-action series Ahsoka.

Retailers:

My favorite character was hands down Zaluna. I loved everything about her. Pulled into something she didn't ask for and didn't quite understand, she still rose to heroics and sacrifice, all to honor a friend. There’s no question that Kanan’s perception of women as “magical creatures” (that’s a direct quote) is the opinion of the character and not the author. Miller makes sure to note that some of the Imperial troops in any given scene are female, and the leader of the mining firm for which Kanan works is an alien woman. However, with harassment in geeky industries and strong social media conversations about the dangers of a gender divide, giving Kanan that trait without Hera or anyone else commenting on it seems like it’s only telling half a story. Maybe that’s another issue that the show will resolve. One last note, I listened to this book as an audio production from Audible, which is how I would recommend everyone read any Star Wars novel. The productions are always high quality. The sound effects and music make you feel even more like you are having that epic Star Wars experience, and the narration is really spectacular. Marc Thompson nailed it, he was a spectacular narrator.

A Crash of Fate is another Galaxy’s Edge tie-in, this one a teen romance set in and around the park’s in-universe setting. Following the death of Count Vidian, the Empire covered up the events in the Gorse system by claiming that Vidian had died from a relapse of Shilmer's syndrome. Meanwhile, Baron Danthe was granted oversight of the Gorse system and immediately commenced mining operations on Gorse's dayside using heat-resistant drones. Sloane reflected on her encounter with the "mysterious agent" of the Emperor known as Kanan and wondered whether he was a rival to Vidian, not realizing that he was a Jedi. Due to her efforts to stop Vidian, Sloane was made the commander of the Ultimatum and continued working for her new boss, Baron Danthe. Meanwhile, the blinded Zaluna started a new life on an agrarian world with the help of Hera and Kanan. After dropping off Zaluna, the two rebels decided to continue their adventures together aboard Hera's ship, the Ghost.Finally, Kanan and Hera. A number of readers have questioned why I didn’t provide the same level of insight into Hera’s past and thoughts as I did with Kanan. Simply, Hera’s history wasn’t really mine to reveal. She was a mystery woman to Kanan, and we would learn things about her just as he did. That said, Hera’s portion of the story increased considerably in the later drafts, expanding from what had been diary entries (much like Kenobi’s meditations) into the many point-of-view sequences we saw.
