I have too many thoughts on Star Wars to expound on them here. I will simply add this. I read the Luke/Lando book recently and found that it tied into the sequel trilogy. As I continued to read, I found I simply had no appetite or interest in any of it. It surprised me. I had not realized just how the sequel trilogy had left me feeling until this moment. I knew that I had disliked a lot, especially in the second film (which bored me in the second act, something I never expected from a Star Wars film), but it was not until I read this novel that I realized the extent of my feelings.
Not that I am trying to set myself up as the end all/be all of writing, but I do know that when crafting a story, you have the beginning, middle, and end (Shooter once explained to my friend Don that “Little Miss Muffet” teaches you everything you need to understand about this). You know the end so you can write toward it. The sequel trilogy made this up as they stumbled along, to disastrous results. Also, as someone noted earlier, how could they botch the simple notion that you have to reunite the characters that everyone knows and loves??!!
Rogue One and Solo were good. The last episode of the Mando was the greatest Star Wars thing since Empire.
I could go on and on and on. I will not bore anyone anymore.
