A New Dawn
by John Jackson Miller
Not going to lie; Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi brought me back to this fandom!
Growing up, I blamed my older brother for my love of Star Wars within the films and the expansion of it within the books and comics but somewhere among all of it, I stopped. Some of the books expanded in such a way that I lost interest and when tried to go back realized there were gaps in what I was reading and then really did stop for good.
I digress, so in December of 2017, weeks after it's initial run, I saw the Last Jedi and came out of that theater with a yearning to go back; back into reading about Luke and the padawans, more about Leia and Han, more about the order, more about the Force, and how did we get here, to this film. So I googled the franchise and to my astonishment read that there was a reboot! meaning I didn't have to wade through a variety of books and lines but could focus on a smaller universe still very much between the films?!?
Sign me up!
A New Dawn represented that; a new beginning told between films III and IV in which we are reading the ramifications of Palpatine transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire and has issued the order to kill all remaining Jedi, including padawans which is where it starts, with the one padawan who lives and tells his tale.
I loved the back story of the cowboy Jedi Kanan Jarrus because seriously the universe needs more of them!
