Books Ahsoka novel

I'm about one third of the way through this and....it's....uh....

Slow.

I'm going to say dull but I'm not really into the farmers just yet.

 

Well looks would be a pretty lame reason for not liking a character (not that I see anything wrong with her look in TCW, but I'm biased). But to each their own.

 

"I hope right you are."

 

A lot of people also grew a little disenfranchised with the character in TCW because she really became the star of the show over Anakin and Obi Wan. I didn't mind it myself and understood why she became that but it is still very understandable why some people would be a little irked by it when Anakin and Obi Wan had been around for as long as they had.

 

Well in TCW she may have been a primary character, but for all intents and purposes she didn't really "take over the show" over Anakin. She was his protégé; and even when he wasn't involved in the scenes she was in, his influence was present. Not to mention there were plenty of episodes in the series that were absent of Jedi entirely.

 

Finished this last night, not great but not awful, would still like to see more stories about her or featuring her, a comic with her and the Rebels team perhaps? Having watched Rebels Series 1/2 definitely helped, just took a while to get going.

 

IMO Ahsoka is the main character of the show, with Anakin and Obi being her seconds and the rest of the revolving cast (Padme, Senators, Bounty Hunters, etc.) being on the third tier.

I just got the Ahsoka hardcover novel yesterday when I was out of town and did some shopping at Target.

Is the Ahsoka novel any good? Just wondering since Im busy re-reading Allegiance right now and got other still fairly new Star Wars novels in hardcover which are Aftermath and the Lords of the Sith novel

 

I thought it was good. It wouldn't be in my top star wars novels, but it was a fun read and the characters were handled well. I had no complaints about it and as an Ahsoka fan it was nice to see more of her story. I'd say it's well worth buying. I'd say Aftermath is a better, but I'd reccomend Ahsoka first because it is a quick read and then you'd be able to move on to the others.

 

Couple of months ago, people were making a big deal about the red crystals being that way because they were "bleeding" or whatever.

The novel itself actaully make a big deal every now and then about the lightsaber crystals being red yada yada?

 

just bought this on Amazon, from what it sounds like most like it but it wasn't the best new star wars novel. kind of what it sounded like when people read the first star wars Aftermath. and I loved Aftermath! So far I love all the new canon books my favorite being Lost Stars!

Just finished it: there were parts I liked, the end was quite interesting... otherwise I did not like the fragmented storyline and the non-existent story arc. It was like the author could not decide if he wanted to write the Ahsoka version of the Kenobi book or something entirely different. The best parts were the recollection scenes... the characterization was ok. Still I do not think I will read it again.

While reading I was wondering that despite its twisted sense of humour the Force was actually merciful with its Chosen One: even turning to a monster and living a life of pain and depression at least Lord Vader did not have to find his way a relatively peaceful (warless) and boring universe... what would Anakin Skywalker do with his sparetime if the comparatively (!) model Jedi Ahsoka Tano's main problem was the peacefulness of farming life?!

The only scene/idea that really got me in the book was about the future: after her confrontation with Vader she may speak to Bail Organa. And she will know that Bail was aware of the identity of Vader, no doubt... and he did not find it necessary to tell it to Ahsoka... well it will be some discussion.

 

Has the sales for the Ahsoka novel been good so far ? Just wondering

 

Not sure how it's been doing over the past several months, but it hit #1 on the Times bestseller when it was initially released.

The sales were fantastic for a YA book. People said that Lost Stars had good sales but the Ahsoka novel far exceeded what Lost Stars sold.

 

Lost Stars was about random characters created for the book. Ahsoka on the other hand is a very popular character. Ashley Eckstein herself has a big fanbase. The reason she did the audiobook was solely due to fan demand. I bet a lot of people who don't normally buy audiobooks bought the Ahsoka audiobook. And if those people also bought the book, that's two sales instead of one.

Counterexample A: Han Solo.

(Or, heck, Darth Vader)

 

That is good, hopefully this shows Lucasfilm that it's very profitable to make more Ahsoka content

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think audiobook sales factor on the sales of a printed book. It's a separate category.

 

Definitely, I came to the character late as I missed Clone Wars when it was 'new' but she has grown on me, and I particularly like the more developed grown up version seen in Rebels. Whilst this book wasn't the best, it was a nice read and I hope we'll see more of her on screen and in books/comics.
