Cool. I've been mixed on Freed's books, but I think this plays to his strengths and the parts of his books I've liked. Glad to see different authors joining the mix, too

 

He could certainly write, say, a Luthen Rael, were one to be involved in this....

 

Awesome news.

 

Yeah, I think Luthen, Saw, or Vel would be particularly well-depicted by Freed. Bail and Mon might suffer a bit, but I'll give him a chance

 

Oh, how intriguing.

I especially wonder how this might overlap with Andor season 2.

And in general reconcile the different depictions of Mothma over the years.

But yeah, mostly very exciting stuff.

 

Both Alexander Freed and Rebecca Roanhorse's return to SW storytelling are most welcome. Gotta imagine this is going to satisfy folks looking for Andor tie-in material.

Perhaps we will learn more about Mon's enjoyment of watervine peaches?

 

Wonder if Shakara Nuress from Alphabet Squadron will appear there, she served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars and welcomed the establishment of the Empire.

 

Yess, finally early Imperial politcs and birth of the Rebellion behind the scenes. I hope the canon the deleted scenes in ROTS and we get some Padme mentions. Just saw on x/Twitter yess we getting into the delegation of 2000.

 

Give us Luthen!

 

Bail Organa and Luthen at each others throats pls

 

Hope for some Empire vs Separatist holdouts action.

 

Think they will do that Senate scene from Bad Batch?

 

Mon Mothma's reaction to Palpatine's speak of the new order and replacing clones with new soldiers

 

A novel that will explore the politics of the Imperial Senate written by Alexander Freed ? Sign me up ! Now I want to see Mas Amedda be the main antagonist of Mon Mothma and the Separatist Coalition mentioned in the Andor series

 

Mass Amedda could be fully explored in this Trilogy

 

I hope so. He’s an underrated character and given that Palpatine no longer presides over the Senate after becoming Emperor, it makes sense to have him in the story

 

if Mass Amedda is in it maybe it will convince me into buying into the head canon that he's Darth wyylok I

 

Oh wow, huge news.

 

Now, that is interesting.

 

I feel Freed is good at developing a story but doesn't always make the most interesting characters to read about. The fact that he will largely be working with already existing characters should alleviate that a bit.

 

This is awesome news -- Freed has been one of my favorite "new"/Disney-era authors. He doesn't write generic stuff that's been done a thousand times, and his characters often don't fit predictable stereotypes. This trilogy should be a wild ride.
