Chat corner 165: Empire and Rebellion

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week's topic is the Empire and Rebellion duology, containing the books Razor's Edge and Honor Among Thieves. This series had an interesting fate: originally planned as a trilogy, it fell under Disney's continuity axe and its two first books found themselves stranded in the Legends continuity while its last book, Heir to the Jedi, was published after and adopted into the current canon.

Have you read these books? (Have you known they existed?)

Or maybe something more abstract: if you were to pick one part of any SW series (book, comic, movie, show) to stand on its own, which series and which part would it be?

I've said several times that the version of "Solo" that exists in my head is a 15-minute supercut of the adventures of L3-37, but more radically, I'm also of the camp that believes the beginning of Finn's plotline in TFA (random mook from an evil empire decides that he doesn't actually want this life and defects to go do his own thing) deserves to be the beginning of a more interesting standalone story than *gestures at the ST*
