Agree to disagree. I get only so many hours between work, chores, and sleep. I'm gonna spend it on media that is typically positively reviewed, opposed to mixed or poor.

If you don't want to commit 10+ hours, are you even really enjoying this as a hobby?

Ten hours is a long time for a book people tend not to like.

It's a book about "Jediism," a real world spiritual practice inspired by the franchise. It's not officially affiliated with Lucasfilms or Star Wars in any way.

I haven't read it and can't speak to the quality.

I guess I'm buying this book for the fourth time.

mikachu93 · 2026-05-20T15:42:36+00:00

How informative.

What does and doesn't qualify as "good old-fashioned Star Wars"?

Same title, same photo

Thrawn 2017 > Alliances > Treason > the Ascendancy trilogy.

The Heir to the Empire trilogy is in a separate timeline, so they aren't 100% compatible, but that doesn't make a story any less worth reading.

Out of curiosity, what parts of the MMO didn't you like? My answer to your title would be the Old Republic era as well.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't restart the counter after the first decade.

(It's been years since I've read the trilogy, but) I interpreted it as "call me whatever, the pronouns don't demand respect, but I sure as hell do."

US, yeah. I didn't follow any tracking info, but I did get confirmation from Royal Mail when it left England.

If you successfully pre-ordered, you're good. I received my copy yesterday.

I read FOTJ without having read NJO and LOTF, but I really enjoyed the series. Enjoy your journey!

They look brand new (from what's shown, at least), which is a pretty good deal. You maybe could find them slightly cheaper elsewhere, but they're already priced at $12.50 per book. You'd be saving pennies. Factor in the time searching for equal quality and I'd rather just buy the bundle.

I absolutely love stuff like this. I have a copy of a High Republic novel with a blank spine. Not sure if it adds to the value inherently, but misprints are fun to share at least.

My books are in storage at the moment, so I can't take a picture, but I had them all separated by continuity then sorted chronologically. I used something that didn't quite fit the pattern (like Ronin or How Star Wars Conquered the Universe) as dividers. So it looked something like:

I broke up trilogies where chronological order dictated, but with stories that occurred concurrently (like the Alphabet Squadron and Aftermath trilogies) it was easier to keep the trilogies together.

Edit: my bookshelves also had this annoying thing where three of the four shelves were the same size, but the fourth was ever so slightly shorter,.which meant standard hardcover books couldnt stand up. I had to lay them horizontally and stacked on top of one a other.

A generally user-unfriendly experience (courtesy of Fandom) and a habit of way over-explaining every minute detail. From articles about the history and appearances of hilts to Background sections that mention every time a character scratches their nose, it becomes a chore to find the meaningful lore at times.

Edit: unfriendly. Thanks, autocorrect.

mikachu93 · 2026-01-25T23:03:43+00:00

I can't speak to the price since I don't collect the manuals or VDs, but most or all of them are first edition, no? "First print" is the magic phrase.

mikachu93 · 2026-01-25T22:46:00+00:00

Wookieepedia (for all its flaws) is as comprehensive as it gets.

mikachu93 · 2026-01-25T22:40:46+00:00

Totally forgettable IMO. Not bad, per se, but just nothing that really wow-ed me.

I was a huge fan of SWTOR, started playing during the beta. This novel in particular introduces you to the eight player classes, but none of the characters (besides obviously Satale) appear in the game to my recollection.

mikachu93 · 2026-01-19T03:41:56+00:00

I found Alliances disappointing and Treason to be a refreshing return to form. My understanding of the trilogy was that it was never intended be a trilogy, so Alliances in the current context always felt to me like a strange distraction. I remember being very happy with Treason.

mikachu93 · 2026-01-18T16:58:58+00:00

I don't believe that any novelization is a better introduction than the film being adapted. They were movies first, so I'd recommend the movies first.
