    This was one of the few things from the new canon that I actually enjoyed. The state of the Order and the artefacts around the Galaxy. Some bits from the Jedi training.

    I've really found everything in the New Canon set during the Prequel era to be some of the best entries in the New Canon.

    For the record, I just remembered to cancel the Audible membership I set up in order to get this as my freebie for joining. So this story wound up costing me about $60 because I am very smart. At least I enjoyed it!

    I also forgot to cancel mine and used my credits to buy Black Spire. A good investment so far!

    A look at the physical edition, and specifically the different trim size we used.

    Already posted in the AMA Publishing Thread, but putting it here as well. Here are some photos of the interior so you can see how the script was formatted into print.

    LOL at Darth Sidious "Does he really need an introduction?"

    Looks good. Can't wait to follow along in it when I re-listen to the audio drama. That way I won't miss a thing!:D

    Two other details I noticed:
    Jor Aerith is a Mirialan.
    The Trade Federation representative is human.

    I suppose the later is following the tracks of legends which stated the Federation was more diverse before the plotting of the Sith put Nemoidians as the dominant species.

    This way even if you zone out from reading or listening you will still get the info, great plan.

    Can’t wait until we know how to spell Chancellor Kalpana’s first name (sounds like “Skorr”)

    Anyway, I just listened to this again recently, and Lene Kostana is a terrible master, a terrible influence on Sifo and Dooku.

    Yeah, Lene Kostana did strike me as rather irresponsible and somewhat manipulative in certain ways.

    I don't think she means to be though. I think she is unintentional leads people into bad places.

    She’s singlehandedly responsible for Sifo being crippled by his visions. I had trouble imaging how he ever became a member of the council until I realized that it was probably after Kostana died, at which point he became lucid and functional again for the first time in decades.

    I got an email from Amazon yesterday saying that although I was supposed to get it yesterday I won't be getting it until tomorrow. I probably won't read it for awhile as I've already listened to it twice.

    I just started a book last night so it will probably be a few days til I get to it. I didn't get the audio drama so it will be new to me. If I'd known I'd be getting it today I might have picked a shorter book.

    Now that I've read it - I'm impressed.

    Interesting to see that Dooku really is Yoda's Padawan in the most literal sense:

    all the way to Knighthood - no Thame Cerulian mentoring Dooku here.

    Finished the book today (reading it got a bit delayed). I enjoyed it. For those dubious about the script format, there is enough 'stage' information given so you can imagine what's going on. I had no issues with that side of it.
