What's everyone drinking and reading tonight /lit/? On

Actually I'm listening to Star Wars:Bloodline
and drinking imperial pumpkin beer
Tarkin was a decent book, wasn't too into the flashback segments, but I did enjoy the character building and the relationship between Tarkin and Vader.
The new canon is so...by the books.

funny you mention 'listening' I'm actually listening to Tarkin as well through Audible, but I have the physical book in the pic, just to add to my star wars library collection. But most books I do audible.

How is Bloodline? Honestly it wasn't on my list, but I may give it a go later after Star Wars Catacylst, and The Expanse: Babylons Ashes

I'm 6 chapters in, but it gets surprisingly interesting if you're a Leia fan and have no qualms with female narration.
It helps to explain why and how the first order formed even if it feels rather forced.
Overall I find the Empire Era Disney canon material to be more interesting, but I am curious to see if the period between VI and VII will get something as good as the Thrawn trilogy.

Does it drastically change anything we've read or known prior to it? I'm unsure, is the Tarkin and Darth Plageus books still canon? Are they apart of the new Disney storyline?

>>8683696
Tarkin is Disney canon, but Darth P is EU, it might as well be canon though because there's nothing in it that is directly retconned

That's the problem. What's to stop Disney from 2, 5, or 8 years down the road, circling back and again wiping out swathes of books and stories that WERE at one time Disney Canon, but no longer because they want to take the story in a new direction. Older books that aren't directly retconned can be so, at a whim.

It'd make for continuity hell to try to keep track of already in print books.
