” Well , get on with it . I want you to devote all your resources to rooting out the saboteurs responsible for this . Do you think you can do that, Bruit , or do I have to bring in specialists ? “

Summary : On a mining planet named Dorvalla , 2 mining companies sabotage each other . Darth Sidious sends Darth Maul ( the most badass looking character in the Star Wars lore ) there to get rid of them both so the Trade Federation can take over . Darth Maul is good at his job .
“Where his Master represented all that was cancelled and mysterious in the Sith , Maul was the personification of all that was to be feared . “
Review : It’s a quick thriller story involving one of the coolest assassin characters in fiction . If you only have a few minutes and want your Star Wars fix , this isn’t a bad place to go .

” What is done in secret has great power . A sword master knows that when he flourishes his blade , he reveals his intent . “

The books are so amazing! Tge stories go in so many directions, without being Disney’d up. My favorite was the Thrawn Trilogy. Maybe I will check this one out.

I have to agree . Star Wars and Disney do better seperate from each other .

It keeps the brand alive and don’t get me wrong, they have dome some amazing stuff, but I kind of miss the dry humor, serious themes, and unique format of the originals. I think Andor and Rogue One captured that. I enjoyed Mandalorian even though it was a little over the top. There are no cute fuzzy thongs you find in a store in the books, it is much more realistic and mayne a little darker. What do you think?
