As promised, here’s a post regarding the next book on our “to
read” list!
But first, a little back story!
I’ve always enjoyed
the Star Wars franchise. My parents
introduced me to the original trilogy at some point in my young life. I even
remember seeing a re-release of A New
Hope in theaters. Then of course there were the prequels and the two most
recent films. I even played a few of the various Star Wars video games with my brothers. I was no stranger to that
galaxy far, far away.
Then I got married to a fellow nerd, one who was even more
involved in Lucas’ creation. He introduced me to the animated series The Clone Wars as well as Star Wars Rebels (I can’t wait for new
episodes!). After some animated Star Wars
marathons, I quickly decided that Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s padawan,
was definitely one of my favorite characters. (I also quickly decided that
animated Anakin is much more likeable than movie Anakin… He’s less of a
creeper.)
The last season of The
Clone Wars was cut short. Don’t you love it when a show you’re invested in
doesn’t get to wrap things up in a nice, neat little package? Because of this
situation, Ahsoka’s storyline has an abrupt ending, making you stare at the
screen with a dropped jaw thinking, “That can’t be it!” Spoiler alert, you get
to see Ahsoka again in Rebels, thank
goodness. The only bad part about that is that you’re still left with a, “What
the heck just happened?!” moment. I’m hoping we’ll get a little more clarity on
that.
Getting back to the point, Ahsoka’s story may have been interrupted,
but to fix that little problem, Star Wars book even
though I knew there were plenty of them and had seen my older brother read some
(I believe most of those are no longer considered canon). But after coming to
love Ahsoka, I needed to fill that void. My ever perceptive husband gave me the
book for Christmas.
I’m already just past halfway through it.
So join me in reading Star
Wars: Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston.
