After a couple weeks of feeling under the weather (and also laziness) I finally finished this book. While certainly a gripping story in its own right, I’m excited to see what spins out of it in upcoming books. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNfa1IrS_4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sigh. I do t think it’s a spoiler to say I need to remind myself not to get attached to anyone in a Star Wars: The High Republic story. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CoZ_FgBLRnw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A whole lot of fighting! Some speechifying! A young person yearning for adventure! And a Wilhelm scream! It doesn’t get much more Star Wars than this! (Also I got up and walked 3 days in a row!) #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXZ8_qL_jN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The battle begins! I don’t mean the battle to get my butt out of bed & walk on the treadmill. I won that battle. Or maybe lost. I got up and walked, anyway. Now I’m pooped. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU1IJurwDc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last week was a tough week, and I couldn’t muster the energy to get up and walk much. Gonna try to do better this week, because I wan to find out what happens in this story! #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSP-HHpES5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back on the treadmill and back to this book! I hadn’t meant to take such a long break from it due to laziness, but it’s a strong enough story that I pretty much remembered what had happened the last time I listened to it. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCzuevLXbS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So when droids are clearly seen as sentient, thinking beings capable of independent thought, emotions and desires, why is it acceptable for them to be bought, sold and used as slave labor, even by the Jedi? My theory is that the Force is always described as an energy field that connects all LIVING things. The droids, as mechanical constructs, are probably seen as not connected to the Force and therefore somehow lesser. At least, that’s the theory that the world climate of hate and intolerance and fear has fostered in my the last couple of years. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CnR5crcLYhF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Whereas previous @delreystarwars audio dramas have relied on devices that still allow for mostly a single narrator—characters telling a story, reading a diary or journal, etc—author @georgemannauthor is telling a straight drama without narrative crutches and it’s great. This feels very much like the next chapter in the High Republic series, bringing together characters and storylines from the last 3 books. It makes me want to go back and reread some of the comics & other stories, to see what other seeds may have been planted. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPUrQrrDs9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I started listening to this this morning. It’s still in the setting the scene/introducing the characters phase, and as much of the fun comes from recognizing characters and situations from previous installments as learning the new story. #thismakesmehappy #2023reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #audiobook #audiodrama #battleofjedha #georgemann https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKK4AqPcA8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
