Bloodline portrays him as totally loyal to her 6 years prior to TFA.
Screaming Citadel is terrible, but the new team looks promising with the first Jedha issue.
Han was a total carebear in Bloodline. Fucking Ben ruined it all.
Wow, R1 really does have some great names. Almost as good as Snoke. :p
I was so hyped for a Luke/Aphra crossover :(
I think the Star Wars comic would be better served focusing on other characters besides the main three, basically use the comic to flesh out the universe. Alternately, they could just rebrand the comic as "Journals of Old Ben Kenobi" and I'd be happy.

I would love to get a dark and gritty book about some ordinary soldiers of the Rebels or the Empire. A Clonetrooper Specialcommando, that does the dirty work between enemy lines. A book about Rogue Squadron, starring Wedge Antilles. Something like that. Even the new sidecharacters are awful IMO. I hate Evil Chewbacca, Evil C3PO and Evil R2D2. Doc Aphra can be enjoyable from time to time, mostly she is to jokey and feels to much like she is from this planet.
There are those two Battlefront books, both are supposed to be pretty good.
Yeah the Star Wars comic line is mostly hot trash. Especially the Kenobi oneshots.
The bromance continues.
It sounds like Finn's saying 'Christ' at the start haha.
All I'm saying is this:
Finn didn't shout out Poe's name at the top of the clip. ;)
I was hoping for a John Williams David Bowie cover, but that was fine too.
OP
OP
Finn shouting Rey's name and asking where she is gives me life!
It's officially released footage. You don't. Finn wakes up asking for Rey and wondering where she is...which makes sense, given that the lost time he saw her she had been thrown against a tree.
Of course, Finn's gonna have his hands full with Rose.
man as someone who's read the spoilers you should know better than this
Don't worry about it. I will say this, though: Boyega has said repeatedly that Rey and Finn are just friends.
Oh you meant that one? I thought there was one today or something.
Then never mind! I thought there was another. My bad.
don't purposefully mislead these souls man what are you doin
OP
OP
I kind of want Aphra to tell Luke that Padme is his mother between ESB and RotJ. There's nothing in RotJ that indicates he doesn't know who his mother is, just that he doesn't remember her. I could see him searching out that information trying to piece things together after the Vader reveal in ESB.
Makes the scene in RotJ a little more poignant too if he knows who he's talking about when he asks Leia about her real mother.
Also have Luke and Leia meet their family at some point. Pooja can be a senator like in Legends!

I'm re watching the movies, clone wars and rebels in anticipation of the new film. I don't think star wars works in book form but I'm interested in some of the comics although I have no idea which ones are any good or important in terms of plot ,are any worth reading? (I've read anakin and obi wan and the darth maul one set after the clone wars series)
OP
OP
Darth Maul (the one before TPM)
Darth Vader (both the 2015 and current one)
Kanan
Doctor Aphra
Lando
Han Solo
Princess Leia
Shattered Empire
None of them are "necessary" but the Vader comics really flesh things out and Shattered Empire ties in with Battlefront II. Kanan is a great companion story to Rebels. The others are just fun.
Poe Dameron is surprisingly unimportant but it seems like it's finally starting to pick up (and akso probably close to ending).
The main Star Wars comic is all over the place in quality but it does tie in with Vader 2015 and Aphra, and ir just switched to a better writer, so it's also worth reading but it's not a top recommendation. It also has a lot of art problems.
edit: For the main Star Wars comic I'd say read the first four arcs (through Rebel Jail), then skip until Screaming Citadel which unfortunately kind of has to be read if you're reading Aphra (or you could skip those Aphra issues as well), then skip stuff again until Gillen's run starts.
Lando, Vader Down and the arcsShowdown on the Smuggler's Moon and Rebel Jailin Star Wars are must reads. Are all those are fantastic and not even because they're Star Wars, they're just damn good comics.
The new Darth Vader has been pretty good, too.
OP
OP
The canon Thrawn is more of a character introduction/tie in to Rebels, so it doesnt get as "epic" as the trilogy. Of course, it also doesn't have the ridiculous stuff the trilogy has either.
I own Twilight Company, whats the other Battlefront book?

1000% this. In my head, I've fan cast Matt Lanter to play live action Anakin.
Clone Wars Anakin is Anakin as far as I'm concerned. His character makes the transformation into Vader actually make some sense.
The thing I wanted them to do that they would never have the balls to do is have Iden meet with Rae and help start the First Order. Can you imagine if Iden just stayed a "bad guy" and they actually made the story about the shades of gray the rebellion did? I mean, lean into groups like Saw's Partisans and hard edged terrorist rebels. Give us a "not every Imperial is evil, not every rebel is good" story. Show us why someone would trust in and morn the lost of the Empire. That would have been a story worth reading and a good follow up to Inferno Squad (which I liked in spite of some pacing issues and an abrupt ending).
Again answering questions I wasn't asked, I haven't read a few of the short stories and the comics and Battlefront 2. Pretty much all others though.
Heir of the Empire. I'm sure 99.99% of you have read this but I'm still spoilering it.
I'm so glad that this book is living up to the hype, it's great so far.
I'm liking this stuff with Mara Jade and how they're just scripinkling little bits of information about her. She hates Luke, she is able to sense him out in the middle of nowhere, now we find out she hates him because of what he did at Jabba's and she has held a Lightsaber before. So I'm guessing she was a padawan or whatever that's called in 1991.
I'm so glad that this book is living up to the hype, it's great so far.
OP
OP
Some of the Wild Space books aren't out in America yet and we don't have translations for the German Rebels comics or the German comic adaptation of The Weapon of a Jedi. Aside from that I dont always bother with kids book adaptations (like for Rebels) or most reference books. Don't play the games either, I just read up on them/watch stuff. So for example I never played Uprising but I read the script, and I wont buy BFII but I watched the cutscenes.
I shouldve listed The Perfct Weapon on there since its an e-novella but I was thinking of it as a short story. Also read all those plus all the comics so far, minus the ones I mentioned above. They really should release those Insider short stories in some sort of collection.
Also, I dont own the majority of those books. Thats what libraries and friends are for!
