Star Wars: A New Dawn

Product Information

I guess that by now, any novel set in the time previous (and between) the prequel trilogy can be still called canonical, but any book set after the events of The Return of the Jedi will have to be considered like a parallel universe or something like that depending of what would happen in Episode VII and following movies. Well this is was not only what I wanted to tell you guys, this post will focus on what you can expect in the new game, A new dawn.

Victoria's being and experience as she is exposed to everything that's bad in men, going from this innocent, protected prude woman to the towns cheapest whore. The story takes place about eight years after Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and about six years prior to the start of the Star Wars: Rebels animated series. Since Kanan and Hera, the two main protagonists of the novel are two of the characters on Rebels, this is obviously more of a prequel novel than anything else. new castles (2 for each faction) have been added to defend choke points and to provide more space for the new factions to develop. Kanan being a drunk idiot miner was probably my favourite part of the book. But the whole idea of the small guys trying to kill a cyborg villain seems a little bit too recycled. This is a prime example of how to do a Star Wars spinoff novel. Many fans give this distinction to Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, and while I wholeheartedly agree with them that it is a great book and a groundbreaking classic for the Star Wars franchise, A New Dawn had a much harder task.

Development log

Your edgy-punk possum boy. He's not the talktative type. Maybe he just needs some friends. A sigma, lone wolf, he was destined to be alone forever until you "accidentally" came into his life. Together they left the bedchamber and walked into the main hall. Prince Leanor Velaryon and Ser Qarl Correy were already standing next to the painted table. Both were dressed in riding gear, their hair messy from the flight. “Father, Ser Qarl”, Jace greeted the prince consort and his lover. “Welcome to Dragonstone. What can we do for you?” So, I'm pretty much living for Love ( not"falling in Love" though, which is far too superficial and short-lived and completely different from Love - the problem is: only if you have a reference experience you usually know what I mean/refer to with that - and getting this "reference experience" usually means you either are still together with that person or you're a survivor of loss, abuse or other destructive dynamics...). It's hard to know where to begin in the Star Wars-verse, and some of the novels are probably terrible. Here is an article with some good starting recommendations that I used as my guide.

An animation film ‘Sri Aurobindo: A New Dawn’ is being made, to inspire the youth of India and the world through the story of Sri Aurobindo, as our offering for the 150th year of Sri Aurobindo’s birth.We are planning to release the Film on 15th August 2023. Otto seems kind of a bit of a self-absorbed a-hole and Javier a little bit too careless/aloof for my taste, even though they both do look still very attractive, of course. The relationship to his nephews had really changed over this last year. As children they had trained together and played pranks on Aemond. But he had never actually connected with Luke. Now that he was his ward and his brother in law things were different. He really felt like an older brother to the boy. He cared for and about him almost as if he was his son. Who would have thought that getting married actually had made him finally grow up? If his mother could see him now she would probably not recognise him.The ultimate irony is that (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) it turns out that Vidian was a safety inspector who now wants to cause an industrial accident just to prove a political point and move himself up the Imperial chain of command. Vidian represents a not-so-subtle extrapolation of how far free-market capitalists will go to drive profit. Ever since the Jedi were marked for death and forced to flee Coruscant, Kanan Jarrus has devoted himself to staying alive rather than serving the Force. Wandering the galaxy alone, from one anonymous job to another, he avoids trouble—especially with the Empire—at all costs. So when he discovers a deadly conflict brewing between ruthless Imperial forces and desperate revolutionaries, he's not about to get caught in the crossfire. Then the brutal death of a friend at the Empire's hands forces the ex-Jedi to make a choice: bow down to fear, or stand up and fight. Anyways, as of the moment the story opens, Kanan is in a sorry state. He is a cynic who hates his past life and wants to just hop from place to place to avoid detection and survive. Having been on the run for nearly a decade has turned him into a womanizing, selfish man. At least, that is what he wants it to make him. Underneath that cold, self-centered exterior is the idealistic super-hero wannabe, Caleb. A lot of female characters in general, a great effort was clearly made, which pleases me greatly. Random imperials were just as often female as they were male, and there were a number of nonimperial female characters. The ground supervisor of the particular mining operation was a female besalisk. Of course we have Hera. There is a female sullustan from a surveillance outfit. The core group of heroes in this is comprised of Kanan, Hera, this sullustan woman (Zaluna), and a human guy named Skelly, so it's 50:50 male female which is nice. The captain of the star destroyer is a human woman of color and plays a large role.

I want to focus on other dynamic events that will reflect Victoria's current state, such as the mirror and the conversation with the common townspeople. The other two heroes are memorable as well. Skelly is very interesting in his need to protect Cynda, yet his craziness and unpredictability makes him dangerous. I think the arc that Zaluna goes through is strong, and she ends up being a great character. But I've had guys like them in my Life (I'm in my early 40s now) and they're usually too self-absorbed to make good partners, who can care about the *connection* as much as I do.Overall the novel is a fast paced action-adventure with some of the typical Star Wars ingredients like fighting scenes, chases and light banter.
