6/18/2023 0 Comments Star wars resistance![]() ![]() Mainly focusing on Poe, as he struggles to become the leader needed in times of severe crisis, this tells of the remaining Resistance members that take up 3 missions to start anew, each with their own risky challenges that could end up in capture or death.īringing aboard new allies and revisiting old friends, this was full of very high stakes gripping action, with a touch of good feels that plays on the camaraderie and team building that is evident in all the movies. Seriously, if you’re a Star Wars fan then this interlude between the movies The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker will serve as a fantastic adventure portraying the Resistance trying to get their bearings after devastating losses. (Full review will be on on release day.) The short version is this: Resistance Reborn is a story that will delight readers who’ve read broadly across canon and that feels like a necessary step forward for the Resistance between Episodes VIII and IX. Honestly, there’s a heck of a lot to love about the book but I really don’t want to spoil any more of it for readers as each new revelation or character inclusion was a joy to discover as I read. It feels incredibly necessary and Rebecca Roanhorse handles his state of mind deftly. He’s still coming to terms with his mutiny and all of its ramifications and learning how to move on from it. This is also very much a Poe Dameron book. I was also happy to see more of Wedge Freaking Antilles. As the world’s biggest Battlefront II fan, the inclusion of Zay and Shriv delighted me to no end and I was thrilled to see them make their return and to have fairly significant roles. Sweet Force, did I dance around with glee at some of the allies the Resistance collected here. Set almost immediately after The Last Jedi, it begins with the biggest question for the Resistance: what comes next and how the heck do we go on from here? Leia’s comment about how “we already have everything we need” was nice and inspirational but not entirely true: they need supplies and they need allies. Resistance Reborn is one big family reunion. This is a must read before the Rise of Skywalker. Rey is very quite in this book only making a couple of appearances, I a guessing she is saved for the movie, but it would be a crying shame if the rest of these characters did not get any recognition. New characters, old and new heroes, new roles to be stepped into, and a renewed fire to fight injustice. No huge revelations in this book, but definitely a very necessary book to pull all the characters together. Here I saw characters from the Aftermath triligy, one of whom has made a name for himself in the comic universe, Bloodlines, Rebels, and old heroes as well. Yes new characters need to be created but fir me things had not really com together till this book. That is something that has been missing in the Disney era. One of the great things I always loved about Star Wars was the continuity between the movies, the books, the comics and even the games. That is the main point of this book it really give the characters new and old time and a chance to grieve and bond. The other thing is the time span between the Force Awakens and the Last Jedi is so tiny reading this book I realised how little time the characters have with each other. After the Last Jedi the Resistance survived but it was decimated in personal, weapons and support. This is the perfect bridging book needed. ![]() Admittedly some people might find that sort of thing annoying, if you are one of those people then I'd advise against watching it.A really great book. It's also quite funny, in a "bad things keep happening to the protagonist, because he is a massive douche" kind of way. I prefer it to all the sequel era movies. It paints a convincing picture of what it's like for one small corner of the galaxy to live under the looming tyranny of the First Order. Unlike with Rebels, the stormtroopers actually seem menacing instead of just hapless cannon fodder. I like the small scale and focus on one station, the lack of epic conflicts and Jedi. Unlike with Rebels, the stormtroopers actually seem menacing I had the impression this show was mainly aimed at kids, and not very well-liked in general, so I was surprised to find I actually enjoyed it.
