5/01/25 - Finished Heir to the Empire

Hello, feasyheads!

We're almost at this week's finish line! Just one more day. 

Like yesterday, I got a lot of reading done. I finished Heir to the Empire, first in the Thrawn Trilogy, and began the next one, Dark Force Rising. So far, this is a great series, but I wish that it could have been made into a move. The Thrawn Trilogy takes place after A New Hope in the Star Wars timeline, and I'm not sure if it's canon. 

I'm a bit pressed for time right now and debating whether to post the review today. I have about five minutes. You know what, I'll do it next Monday. 

The writing style was satisfactory this time around, unlike the Star Wars prequel book. (No, I'm still not over that.) Perhaps the 'reading hangover' as dubbed by the r/RedRising subreddit after finishing the series is finally fading. 

It's weird, but my favorite character so far specific to this series is Mara Jade. (Of course, C-3PO and R2-D2 are still my favorite duo.) Mara is one of the antagonists, a Dark Jedi (probably means Sith) with a personal grudge against Luke Skywalker. I'm not sure why she's my favorite, but she just somehow is.

Well, that sums it up for this week! Have a great rest of your day, feasyheads.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,

Uncle Wally
