Star Wars: A New Dawn

Product Information

I started this little fanfic as a one shot for my dear friend Jesse because we were talking about Jacaerys being Prince of Dragonstone and Aegon his consort. So this was truly planned to just be a fluffy one shot with little plot, showing them behaving like a married couple on their island all alone...well it took me a day to actually build plot around this and to come up with a storyline that will end in angst and pain...

Your choice”, Aegon pressed a kiss on his lips and started to dress himself. “He isn’t actually king though, remember? He is only prince consort. As I will be one day.” Anyway, the canonicity of any novel against the mighty force of films and TV, have been always a blurry area in any franchise, and now Star Wars, one of the pioneers in the tendency of having "expanded universes" is joining to the club of questionable canonicity in its printed material. new troops and a much wider troop tree. Each faction has several types of troops which all fill a specific role.Still, I can’t describe A New Dawn as anything other than standard Star Wars fare, in terms of the quality of writing and story. This was a slight downer, given the publication significance of this book and the fact it marks a new beginning, I had hoped for something a little more…well, just MORE. But on the bright side, it should make readers of Star Wars fiction feel right at home. You have the very recognizable character types, such as the Jedi-in-exile and hotshot starship pilot. You have a ruthless villain and Imperial tyranny. You have sweeping battles in space and the spark of rebellion. So on second thought, being the same-old-same-old might not be such a bad thing. The other two heroes are memorable as well. Skelly is very interesting in his need to protect Cynda, yet his craziness and unpredictability makes him dangerous. I think the arc that Zaluna goes through is strong, and she ends up being a great character. A Pillar of the Community · Bill Sutton · Brother Against Brother · Familiar Faces · Fertilizer Woman · Holly · Lucy Abernathy · Maintenance Man · Quality Assurance · Supervisor Brown · Supervisor Greene · Suspected Synth · Wedding Day He is a high ranking civilian in the Empire, and currently, the favorite expert in efficiency of the Emperor Palpatine. He is ruthless and full of secrets. He is a cyborg and he takes a good advantage of it, using his mechanical enhancements to the fullest. I like the character but he is not very original neither, since it's like a Darth Vader without the Force. Even his initials Denetrius Vidian are the same as with Darth Vader. The story was half-introductory adventure and half-mystery. Since the bad guy is a political servant of the Emperor trying to gain more influence on Coruscant (the capital world), he naturally has others nipping at his heels. The heroes end up exploiting this to make headway in stopping the bad guy. Some might find the ending kinda sudden, but if they view it as political intrigue and study how such things go in real-life authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, it actually has some realism... uh, other than the sci-fi/fantasy stuff, I mean.

The composition for the cover art of the Brazilian edition of A New Dawn published by Editora Aleph originated from a concept sketch made by Two Dots while working on the cover of the Star Wars Legends novel Crucible. Although a different cover was selected for Crucible, the publisher liked the second concept and asked Two Dots to adapt it for the characters of A New Dawn. The original sketch featured the characters of Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo with an X-wing starfighter, which were replaced by Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, and the Ghost in the version for A New Dawn.

If they could find a way, I’m sure we can.” This is a prime example of how to do a Star Wars spinoff novel. Many fans give this distinction to Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, and while I wholeheartedly agree with them that it is a great book and a groundbreaking classic for the Star Wars franchise, A New Dawn had a much harder task. The novel is set between the third and fourth movie during the glory days of the Empire. The focus is on a planet without rotation and its accompanying moon, which is one of the main provider's of thorilide, a resource the Empire needs to build its Star Destroyers. No of course not. My mother has suggested a union between the two of you and your cousins Baela and Rhaena to strengthen both Luke’s claim to Dirftmark and the valyrian blood in our line.”

I kept falling asleep as I read this book. that speaks volumes. Yes, when it comes down to it, the plot is a total snooze fest. Like many Star Wars fans, I was initially disappointed by the news earlier this year that Lucasfilm has pretty much nuked most of the franchise’s Expanded Universe, declaring all of it as no longer official canon. But after some thinking, I’ve come to terms with it and now actually believe that it was a wise decision. Having ballooned into this humongous bloated entity after all these years, if anything needed a hard reset it was the Star Wars EU. And having been a long time reader of Marvel and DC comics, I’ve grown more accustomed to stuff like retcons and massive wipes by now. There’s no question that Kanan’s perception of women as “magical creatures” (that’s a direct quote) is the opinion of the character and not the author. Miller makes sure to note that some of the Imperial troops in any given scene are female, and the leader of the mining firm for which Kanan works is an alien woman. However, with harassment in geeky industries and strong social media conversations about the dangers of a gender divide, giving Kanan that trait without Hera or anyone else commenting on it seems like it’s only telling half a story. Maybe that’s another issue that the show will resolve.

Most of these factions will sometimes spawn armies. These armies will wander around the map, sometimes looting a village. They may also siege a castle or a town which, if successful, will change the minor faction to a "real" faction, behaving exactly like the 6 regular factions (kings, lords and ladies will spawn). This makes the world much more dynamic and every game unique. You may even ally with one of these minor kingdoms and try to lead it to world dominance! My only major problem with the VN, aside from some gripes with the art that I feel like fixes are already in the works, is just a reoccurring thought I had while playing. If Dawn ranked second in a contest so prestigious that even our dopey MC was aware of, why does nobody recognize her? new castles (2 for each faction) have been added to defend choke points and to provide more space for the new factions to develop. Hera is the second main character, and she manages to get under Kanan's skin, much to her amusement, chagrin, and (when Kanan proves to be useful for stopping the plans of the Empire) pleasure. It's funny to see her go from someone who is annoyed, but amused, at Kanan's flirting, to someone who is intrigued, though not romantically interested, with him.Laenor’s gaze was fixed on Aegon, who stood next to his husband trying to look as confident as he could. “My princes, we bring a message from the Queen for Luke and Daeron.” Aegon and Jace looked at each other. Rhaenyra had sent the princes’ younger brothers as wards to Dragonstone a little over a year ago. Only Aemond and Helaena had remained at the Red Keep with their own children. But Luke, Joff and Daeron were believed to be safer under the care of their older brothers. At first both had not been sure about this being a good idea. But soon they had been proven wrong. Having the young princes in their care was a joy. In a way it was their only chance of experiencing parenthood, something both enjoyed. Overall the novel is a fast paced action-adventure with some of the typical Star Wars ingredients like fighting scenes, chases and light banter. The writing itself is solid, but not remarkable in any way. The novel is also light on themes, but on a closer look has a bit of social commentary on the whole consulting industry, cause Count Vidian acts a lot like a consultant on speed trying to make production more efficient, no matter the cost. So, I'm pretty much living for Love ( not"falling in Love" though, which is far too superficial and short-lived and completely different from Love - the problem is: only if you have a reference experience you usually know what I mean/refer to with that - and getting this "reference experience" usually means you either are still together with that person or you're a survivor of loss, abuse or other destructive dynamics...).
