so-soA prequel/tie-in to the landmark Jedi: Fallen Order video game, Dark Temple gives us Eno Cordova's backstory. It's a classic Jedi mediation scenario where it may be impossible to find a peaceful way out of conflict between rival factions.
pickA fun little intra-dark side skirmish between Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, and General Greivous, on one side, and Darth Maul and Mother Talzin on the other. The only thing that bugged me is that Greivous speaks nothing like he does in Revenge of the Sith. The dark side eats its young.
pickThis was such a fun read.
Told from the three perspectives of the main cast, Leia (princess), Han (scoundrel) and Luke (farm boy), the movie is adapted with additional character insight, background, and emotional depth to the scenes I know and love from the characters themselves.
The audiobook was amazing. Marc Thompson, a solid narrator within the Star Wars books in my opinion, and Rebecca Soler did a fantastic job with the characters.

pickNow here‘s a man who had me swooning when I watched him in Lady Sings the Blues and Dynasty, cheering for Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars Universe & then bawling my eyes out during Brian‘s Song. Fans still mention his speech as Chicago Bear Gale Sayers. “This movie accomplished something special by getting tens of millions of people to see the humanity we all share.” What a versatile actor, singer, painter and sweet man…still suave at 88!😍🙌🏻
so-soJedi Knight Mace Windu gets involved with a smuggler who claims to have the formula for a new, improved Coaxium hyperdrive fuel. Decent art and a good start, but too many hanging threads to really recommend. If they continue the series, there are some interesting places the story can go, especially with his grim, suspicious demeanor in the movies contrasting with this more loose and open portrayal.

For May, we read about teenage Obi-Wan. I enjoyed a hormonal Kenobi. How did y'all like it?
For June, we have adult Obi-Wan who has recently been exiled on Tatooine. I'm looking forward to this one.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀 #StarWarsBuddyRead
pickThis was a fun read. Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon aren't really getting along. So when Obi-Wan finds Orla Jareni's note about a mysterious planet in the Jedi archives, he wants to go explore it. Qui-Gon agrees but then doesn't show up to leave, so Obi-Wan breaks the rules & goes on his own. There, he finds a bunch of kids struggling to survive on their own.
Loved Zae-Brii the nonbinary shapeshifter 🩵
