Books Join the Resistance 3: Attack on Starkiller Base

Let us hope there won't be any fart jokes this time around.

 

I wonder, if they reprint the second book, will they remove the whole wedding thing now that it's not in continuity anymore?

 

I enjoyed the rest of the book - but I'd agree that this particular moment was on a par with the worst TPM moments.

 

I echo the above sentiments, they aren't great, especially as they followed the Servants series which was engaging from beginning to end. Even the Adventures in Wild Space septriliogy (that a word?!) was solid. This, less so and to have such a continuinty gaff, which probably wasn't the author's fault only makes it worse.

I said in a previous thread, it could be easily retconned as a poor memory from Mattis as he was going made in his cell or something.

 

I have so much limited data on this series as Wookieepedia doesn't update.

Spoiler

I want to know what happened to Jo Jerjerrod during the second book?!!!!

 

Why don't they just cancel this series and not release the third book? Do they have to release it for contractual obligations to the author?

The series isn't anything more than a Goonies style of story anyways and we are now getting a TV show about young new recruits coming into the resistance. If people want to see a story of that nature they can just wait a couple more months and watch it on TV. And there will probably be just as many books dedicated to the new show as there were for Rebels and I would be very surprised if any of them acknowledge anything from the JttR series.

 

I only read part way through the first book so don't know exactly what all happened to him in each book. But there is quite a bit written about him on his character page. It's true though that The wook doesn't give thorough summaries for the books anymore these days.

 

So thanks to Nathan's Timeline Gold, I actually know what's going on (now wish someone would update the pages beyond basic descriptions and without grammar errors [I find those distracting]).

Clearly the mission is:

to rescue Jo from the First Order

 

No spoiler shown

 

OK, so I haven't read any of these books, (though I did lurk on the other thread about this series when the first book came out, so I know the basic plot elements) but I'm kind of curious . . .What's this fart joke? What continuity error? What wedding? What's going on ?!?

 

Enjoy: (I didn't )

To be fair, farting probably happens in Star Wars more than we think.

 

I guess it runs in the family?

 

well that was very farty

 

He who smelt it....

EDIT: Quite seriously, the infamous Geordie Edit did an entire swath of jokes around this.

Who are you and what the hell have you done with Sinny?

Seriously, a new book has done what all of Denning's best efforts couldn't and placed itself beyond your vaunted reconciliation abilities?

 

41 years of stories across multiple timelines and only 1 you can't find redeemable? Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

Yep, it's why I've got this running joke with Sinny that's been going.... hmm, got to be a few years now.

 

Just realized this is out now... anyone read it?

 

Please let me know if the fart wedding has been retconned!

 

Saw it at the bookstore the yesterday. Haven't picked it up yet, but I will sometime in the future
