OP is full of shit.

What the hell are you implying?

Mount Yoda, the Starforge, and Luke Skywalker clones are SOOOOOooo much better than the new canon, sure

He's so perfect

Well, then I gladly say I haven't seen Rogue One and never will.

>>86681552
is this the one where Jyn has her way with some guy?

People will meme, but you are right OP

I don't know how the hell people are supposed to know Galens or even Krennics deal without reading the book.

OP here, and believe me, I am not going to defend Rogue One as a standalone film.

I read Catalyst and Rebel Rising and rewatched Rogue One.
There's references to Rebel Rising as well.
I know just about the entire life of Jyn.

>>86683390
How is this? I want to read it but I'm so far behind with the Episode 8 supplimental stuff. If it's short I might as well.

Not interesting enough. I wont read a book just because it has star wars in the title.

The nu canon books and comics are complete and utter shit across the board. None of it even comes close to the EU in quality. Fucking die shill.

>>86683429
Well it starts right where Catalyst ends and Saw saves Jyn.
Goes through her life growing up into he teens living with Saw and learning her training to fight.
Then everything crumbles around her and you learn why she's so tragic.
I enjoyed it.
You learn more about why she's so hateful and doesn't care about the Empire or Rebellion.

>>86681953
They are unironically better.

>>86683519
How long is it compared to catalyst?

>>86683750
Shorter.
Chapters aren't long so you can pick up and go whenever for short reads.

I hope you guys are aware that these books are just written as they go, as in, they didn't have any backstory planned when they made Rogue One and they are just pulling random stories out of their ass to manufacture more books.

>>86683873
That's actually not true at all. Thrawns novel was both written in conjunction with his arc in SW Rebels and was planned as far back as 2014. This stuff has such an autistic amount of thought put into it it's embarrassing.

>>86681552
The original six films and the 2003 clone wars cartoon are the only real Star Wars canon.

>shit for plebs that csnt stand on its own

bravo. disneykuk. hantavirus is eating your brain. stop huffing mouseshit pleb

>>86683873
The quality is evidence enough of that. Unlike the EU, it's all soulless, boring, poorly written trash. Absolutely no heart or love put into any of it.

>>86683990
No it wasn't and that character is totally ruined by that shit book and Rebels.

>>86684018
>2003 clone wars
>not 2008 clone wars
Opinion discarded.

>>86684160
Yes it was. Watch the Rebels 2016 SWC pannel

The book was written by the original author. I don't know what else you are expecting.

>>86684187
>listen to blatant marketing speech and lies that aren't backed up in the slightest by the severely lacking quality of the books which are nothing more than a product rather than actual stories like the EU was
>implying a Zahn didn't just write that book because they paid him a lot and knew they'd ruin his character with or without him so just tried to mitigate damage to his legacy as best as he could


Shut the fuck up shill.

>>86684303
No. Unlike you I'm a real Star Wars fan and clearly not a mindless 15 year old who doesn't have any concept of the appalling drop in quality that has happened with the books under Disney because you never read the good stuff to begin with.

>>86684376
Mad.

>>86684376
A real Star Wars fan would have not bothered to see Rogue One after the utter disappointment that was TFA.

>>86683990
Thrawn was actually pretty great. First Star Wars book i've read since The Unifying Force. It's definitely Zahn back to his peak.

I thought it was fantastic. I have been waiting for a solid political thriller in the new canon after being disappointed by pic related, and it scratched that itch perfectly.

>>86684724
Have you read any real books?

>>86684866
Yea of course. Most of the SW books I just listen to in audiobook form when im at work. It passes the time

>>86681552
>Disney resets the EU because it's all retarded gay fanfic

At least this time none of it contridicts itself. If they deserve credit for anything it's that. Fuck the EU

The fact that you need to read a novel in order to understand characters or anything from the movie instantly makes it shit

(its different obviously its its a book to film adaptatoin)


stop buying these fucking books, muh handcannon is just an excuse for shitty writing

>>86685118
>it's different if it's a book to film adaptation

no it's not

if I need ANYTHING other than the movie itself to understand what happens in a movie, it's garbage

>>86685102
They already have contradicted themselves and all of it is much, much weaker and shittier than the EU. kys

>>86685185
>They have already contridicted themselves
Source?

>>86685118
It's backstory.
You don't NEED it to read it to understand it.
It gives insight to some motives behind Galen, Krennic, and Tarkin.
Jyn was still a baby and a toddler in Catalyst.
If you WANT to know about Jyn's past then you can read the book.
None of it necessary.

>>86685202
Kek. Didn't think so.

>>86681552
>having to read a book, to understand a piece of a trilogy, who's main medium has been movies, but sucks so much that in needs a book to make us care about the plot

how about no. how about making a movie decent enough that is doesn't need outside material to fix plot holes or give characterization

>>86686513
Did you have trouble understanding the movie or something?

You have to be 18 to visit this site Disney shill
This is a million times better than any shit Filoni pinched out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMhX0iWUes&t=1s

That's a good book either way. I didn't even see rogue one

>>86690379
You should watch it. It's probably the second best Star Wars film

>>86681552
Which book, Jyn getting laid?

>>86687545
