Star Wars: Aftermath (book 1)
Chuck Wendig
ISBN: 9780345511621
Mostly focused on a rag-tag band of thrown-together allies on a single world under imperial influence, with obviously-required-by-Disney snippets of scenes with major characters or locations.
Read September 2015
This is the first official Disney-licensed Star Wars book after all the rest of them got relegated to the "Legends" trash heap. Wendig has his work cut out for him, because anything he does is going to contradict or re-write EU canon, well-established in the hearts and minds of rabid fans everywhere.
Despite that hobble, and the obvious contractual obligations mandated by his mouse-eared overlords, Wendig crafts a lovely "Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina" sort of adventure. We have a ragged band of tired Rebels, the squabbling and back-biting remains of the Empire, and all sorts of planets and peoples who really don't like or want much to do with either of those institutions. There's a rocking bounty hunter, a droid with an oversized personality, and a maybe-innocent kid thrown into a situation he's really unprepared for. Mix all that together with the patented Star Wars brand of intense family issues, a few x-wing and tie-fighter dogfights, a healthy helping of explosions, a dash of squicky alien biology, and you've got yourself a solid textual re-introduction to that galaxy long ago and far away.

William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return, Ian Doescher
Finally got to finish out the trilogy tonight, sad that it's over, but it was a fun ride while it lasted.

William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope
William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back
Our last installment has no more singing Ugnaughts, but we do get Ewoks speaking pidgin English, which is an interesting choice. The author comments in the afterword that keeping track of everyone's speech patterns after three whole books/films-worth of characters was a little daunting, but I think it all went smoothly. I don't know that I would have given the Ewoks that sort of dialect, but I did like a thoughtful line from Leia on Endor:
"It is not we who welcome them, I err.
For 'tis their moon, their home, their dwelling place.
'Tis surely they who kindly welcome us,
'Tis truly they to whom our thanks are due..."
There are other truly lovely moments scattered throughout - Luke's soliloquy bracing himself before confronting Jabba, the Emperor's delightful evil monologue embracing his destiny as master of pain and suffering and death, Vader's slow growing realization that his evil is no match for his feelings as a father.
Like the author, I like Jedi way more than I should. I know it's cheesy, I know the Ewoks are a bit of a joke, but I can't help it. It's always been my favorite, with the stark themes of love and loss and the hard-won lessons of maturity, of being better than your parents while still loving them.
I think I was most happy reading this when the language from the film didn't even need much changing to fit this Shakespearean conceit. Reading this homage is light and fun and easy, but then a powerful moment from the movie transfers over almost unchanged, like when Luke confronts Vader in that industrial grim corridor on Endor. "'Tis but the name of thy true self, which thou hast but forgotten. Furthermore, I know that there is good within thee yet, for thy great Emperor cannot have driven it from thee entirely." That is sooo close to Luke's impassioned speech that, minus the thees and thous, it is essentially what was spoken in the film. That language and that scene was powerful then, and it still is now, even with a bit of frippery and fun draped over it. That's why I love Star Wars.

Star Wars: Honor Among Thieves, James A Corey
Interesting to discover that "James A. Corey" is a pseudonym for a duo of writers: Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
Star Wars: Honor Among Thieves
James A. Corey
ISBN: 9780345546852
I didn't enjoy this one as much as Kenobi, but it was fun. I like reading books set during or between the original trilogy (yes, even Splinter of the Minds' Eye) because they don't get into the irritating spectrum of freaky weird and overly dramatic crap that started infecting the rest of the EU like a fungus. Especially now that Disney has declared that all of these books are "Legendary" anyway, I prefer to deal with "legends" of people that I know and love from the films (and ok, let's be honest, the older books) rather than "legends" of people that I might have started to like before they got all unnecessarily angsty and started killing each other for no good reason.
Sorry, that got a little ranty, didn't it?
Back to the actual book: Han is still on the run from Jabba and trying to come up with the necessary coin to pay him off, Luke is deep into x-wing pilot giddy excitement, and Leia is frantically trying to raise money and support for the Rebellion after their first victory. A call comes in for an extraction mission for a Rebel spy deep in the Core, and Han is the best pilot out there. Of course, the mission goes sideways, a plot to recover a galaxy-altering device is discovered, and our fearless (and endlessly snarky) heroes head out into the far reaches of the galaxy to save the day!
Things I didn't like:
The dialogue and descriptions were occasionally very clunky, and the plot-wheels were a little too thinly disguised at times.
The locations: we get a rebel base, a multicultural cityscape, a lot of bars, a swamp, and a temple complex. Does that line-up of locations feel sort of familiar to anyone else? Part of what's nice about Star Wars is that there are shitloads of planets and systems and habitations and settlements. Why is there always a temple and a swamp?
The characterizations were a bit on the thin side. I especially feel like Leia got really shafted: her planet and family JUST GOT EXPLODED, and there's no real effort made to represent the toll that would take on a person. Granted, the book is from Han's extremely self-centered viewpoint, but it was still grating as an omission.
The invented main character kept edging towards Mary Sue territory. She's pretty, she's smart, she's the best at her job, she's not interested in Han (because she's a professional) she speaks Wookie (ok, understands Wookie, haha, no human can really speak Wookie). Ok I get it, the DM's insert character is a little obvious. Don't get me wrong - I like her. Just, somewhat like my reaction to Corran Horn, I now have a deep and abiding desire to watch someone outsmart her and then punch her in the head a few times.
Now that's all out, here's what I did like.
Han's voice was pretty authentic throughout. I liked his snarky internal monologue. I liked how he constantly interrupted people. I liked the interrupting-and-understanding-and-finishing-each-other's-thoughts conversations between him and some of the other characters - that's very much like real human interaction, and it was represented well.
Likewise Chewie's snarls and growls and grunts were done well - that has to be really tough to accomplish, and it was expressive without being too cutesy or repetitive.
I felt like a certain character was a direct verbal translation of a certain pirate from a certain blockbuster Disney pirate franchise. This did take me out of the book a little, but it was amusing, and I enjoyed the character's dialogue more because of it. I will leave the interested reader to make their own connections, savvy?
I liked the running joke leading up to the rebel base on Hoth. It was very well-played, and not overdone.
I liked that Luke was competent, affable, and totally in the background, and that the Force was not really addressed (although he did add another impressive outline to his x-wing kill tally).
I liked that the invented character (Mary Sue tendencies aside) is a professional spy, AND a woman. Major props for letting her come and play, and very specifically for not relegating her to being a love interest or damsel in distress (cough cough Mara Jade cough) for a main character.
A fun, fluffy addition to what are now only "legends" of the Star Wars universe.

Review of William Shakespeare's Verily, A New Hope.
Still digging this series, and cannot wait for Jedi to come out in a few months. There are some rough spots here and there (the AT-ATs were a little strange for me, and some of the monologues were just a touch on the longwinded side, and the lamentation song was a little weird) but otherwise it was another brilliant installment in the ongoing marriage between Star Wars and Shakespeare.
Favorite parts:
Singing Ugnaughts. Seriously.
Lando gets an actual character arc. This one is actually a qualified success, because I think one of the strengths of the film is that the betrayal just comes completely out of left field unless you're naturally suspicious. They're talking, they're walking, the city is beautiful, and BAM - Vader! But in a book (er, play) that's harder to accomplish and then have Lando become a hero, so I like that he gets asides and monologues and hints that he's really unhappy to be forced into this choice.

This one has been on my "to read" pile since November, and I'm finally whittling that particular month's pile down. It's funny that I just read Verily, A New Hope before reading this one, because it made a few asides and comments by the characters much more pointed than they would otherwise have been. In particular, a story about an actor who was aged by exposure to the harsh desert winds and suns so that in half a year, he looked to have aged twenty years! was vastly amusing.
Miller admits in the acknowledgements that he originally planned this story as a graphic novel, in a western milieu - and it shows. That's not a bad thing, actually. His scenes are gritty and sand-filled, the western analogues of cowboy and Indian transfer nicely into moisture farmers and Tusken Raiders, and his descriptive passages have a visual flow and movement to them that is quite agreeable.
With a story like this, the journey really is the point, because anyone reading already knows how it turns out. How we get there is the only real interest value, and I enjoyed the ride for the most part. Downsides do exist: the opening acts were a bit slow to get rolling, I thought that "Ben's" narrative voice in the meditation sections was off, and the unraveling of the antagonist's plans, mind, and life happened a bit too quickly; but these are piddly details. Overall, it was a fun ride in a familiar landscape, with a whole cast of new and interesting characters and one very familiar person trying to find a new niche in life.
Is it the next Thrawn Trilogy? Hell no. Is it comparable to Shadows of the Empire (the novel, not that impenetrable multimedia octopus, thank you very much) or I, Jedi? Yeah, for me it was, although the gritty tone and small-town Tattooine setting much more closely matches the tight focus and small stakes of the short stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina or Tales from Jabba's Palace anthologies. Overall, a solid addition to the EU, and one that I hope makes it into the soon-to-be-established canon.
Final thought: Sand People are seriously hard-core.

Read January 7, 2014
Parody/Homage: Star Wars, as written by the Master Wordsmith himself. My only quibble is that the story uses the 'official' reworked version with the Jabba appearance.
I grinned a lot when reading this, especially the many soliloquies that reveal future events or hint at characters and relationships. I particularly enjoyed Obi-Wan's speech as he steeled himself to death to inspire Luke, and Luke's 'once more into the breach' before the final battle, which both improves on and laughs at his original naive, bragging 'womp rat' line.
There were admittedly places where the wording was more cutesy or corny than creative, but the vast majority were delightful, most hitting that sweet spot where I could see the characters speaking the lines, but could also see clearly where they were taken from the Bard as well as from the screenplay.
I even liked the Chorus, and I usually hate the Chorus! I was left with an overwhelming urge to try and actually stage this. I have a feeling that it would be either hysterical or laughable, but to the author's credit, I really want to try.
"Act 4, Scene 2:
Han, in the detention block control room, to the comlink
O, be not anxious, comrades, fear ye not!
The situation here hath been controll'd.
All merry 'tis in the detention block!
Officer 1 (through comlink) But what hath happen'd?
Han ----- 'Tis no matter, Sir-
A slight malfunction of the weapons here.
But all is well, and we are well, and all
Within are well. The pris'ners, too, are well,
'Tis well, 'tis well. And thou? Art also well?
Officer 1 (through comlink) We shall dispatch a squad to verify.
Han - Nay, there's a leak in the reactor here.
Pray give us time to mend the matter well.
The leak is large and dangerous, but fear
Thou not, for all - I tell thee true - is well!
Officer 1 (through comlink) But who art thou, and what's thy number code?
/ Han Solo blasts comlink /
Han - That conversation did my spirits bore!
Now Luke, prepare thyself for company!"

Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison, Haden Blackman, Agustin Alessio
Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison
Haden Blackman, Agustin Alessio
ISBN: 978-1616550592
Graphic Novel: interstitial between Revenge of the Sith/Clone Wars and A New Hope.
I liked this. I liked this a LOT. This is what Star Wars fiction should be like. The main character is horrid, but you somehow end up feeling for him, as he tries to find meaning in tragedy and betrayal by allying with and serving Vader. Anyone the least familiar with that character will realize that this is a bad life choice, and you know it from the start, but you still hope for the "best" as the train rumbles inexorably down the tracks.
I loved that it was perfectly self-contained without seeming to try too hard to be so. I liked that the art was solemn and dark and somehow regal and formal. I liked that there were good guys and bad guys without even involving the Rebellion (except as inspiration/motivation). I liked that Vader is a truly terrible person, and knows exactly how to keep himself irreplaceable. I liked that the plot was straightforward and motivated by character, and the character in question was motivated by understandable and universal human emotions. I especially liked that the Emperor was essentially a deus-ex-machina, as that made for a lovely little meta-pun, and really what the evil bastard is good for after all.
I had been a long time since reading any Star Wars (since the Chewbacca Incident, to be exact) and I am very glad to see more work looking back to the universe before it was despoiled and ruined for me. These, perhaps I can read and enjoy, and just remember my internal temporal cut-off at the end of the Young Jedi Knights series. :) Ghost Prison has been quite enjoyable, and reminded me strongly of what I enjoyed about this universe. If this is the quality I can expect, I might even try some of the recent call-back novelizations like Scoundrels or Choices of One. I'll most certainly check out any further Star Wars universe graphic novels by Mr Blackman.
