Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week, the topic is “Before the Awakening”, an anthology of three stories that show what Finn, Rey, and Poe were doing before the movie.

It’s a junior readers’ book, but it’s also written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Phil Noto, which are some very interesting names to see together!

Has anybody read this? What did you think?

Aside from that, this week it’s a year since Dreamwars started :) This is honestly so cool - and it’s all your work, folks, there would be no comm without the people who come and talk. So I want to say, you’re all awesome, whether you’re here every week or you commented exactly once.

And since I’m reminiscing, what has your “year in Star Wars” been like? Anything interesting that’s happened to you? New story you’ve found (be it canon, Legends, or fic), an event, a fandom interaction? Have you created something you’re proud of? I’m honestly curious!

Which one of the EU stories was your favorite, if you had to choose? I've picked up the OT novelizations since so many people here recommended them, but I haven't gotten to them yet.

The Last Command, from the classic Thrawn Trilogy. 2nd fav is Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. 3rd fav is the Heart of the Jedi.

For the prequel era EU, I liked the novelization of RotS. Shatterpoint and Darth Plageuis were both good, just very chilling stories.
