Star Wars: Aftermath has finally arrived, introducing a whole new timeline to the Star Wars universe!
The first canon story outsideThe Clone Warswas the comic seriesSon of Dathomir, an extension of the animated series.
The first canon novel, appropriately enough namedA New Dawn, tied into theStar Wars Rebelstelevision series.
Do the New Republic and the Empire become the Resistance and the First Order?
Is it even that simple?
How different will the new Expanded Universe be from the one fans know and love?
Both the Empire and the Rebellion are re-forming, andAftermathshows some of that.
Shes a good character more for her place in the story than for any particular quirks.
In addition, the book leaves more than a few mysteries to be solved in the upcoming sequels.
The four heroes work fantastically together, and have become some of my favorite characters in the new canon.
They get to have that narrative.
Aftermathis a wonderful addition to the expanded universe.
TheStar Warsuniverse is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.
