5/23/2023 0 Comments Rebecca roanhorse star wars![]() ![]() ![]() I adore her Sixth World books, and I just couldn’t wait to see what her contribution to the galaxy far, far away would be like. When Rebecca Roanhorse first announced she was writing a Star War, I was fucking giddy. I get excited about pretty much any new Star Wars book that’s announced, but my excitement for Resistance Reborn was this kind of constantly evolving thing. So, you folks know I like Star Wars books, yes? Like, a lot. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders-including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered.įrom the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa-their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. ![]()
