Anyone finish Thrawn: Treason? Waited months for its release, and it came out last week. Now I’m a few hours in, and I’ve had to turn it off twice because of one single character, Assistant Director Ronan. He’s the single most annoying character I’ve ever heard in any of the Star Wars books.
The Star Wars Explained guy said it was his least favorite of the trilogy but I will wait for Truman’s thoughts.
I'm a bit more than halfway through. Ronan is a bitch but I understand why and think it is obvious why the character is written that way. I was very underwhelmed with where I "thought" the story was going at first but once Thrawn started to do Thrawn stuff and the story shifted gears it picked up. So far it's better than Alliances, IMO. Holding out hope for a strong and profound finish.
Do you also have an AP? The email I received said I could reserve up to 3 other spots but they also had to be Passholders.
TLJ would have been much less of a disappointment if they stuck with the ~2 hour standard runtime. The extra half hour made it feel LotR-y and the stories going on weren't good enough to keep the audience into them for that length of time. Movie would have instantly gone (in the TLAU rating system) from a 6.5 to a 7.5 if Rose was the female hero bombing chick that died... saving them from the retarded fool's errand mission with Finn to get DelToro. 86 the cheese dick cheap-laugh actions by Luke and it gets bumped up to an 8.
finished Thrawn Treason, nothing ground breaking. I thought it was better than Alliances but was hoping for a bit more, can't quit put my finger on it, just more.
Just finished. This wasn’t what I thought or hoped it would be about , but once I got over my expectations, it was a good SW book. Its got a lot of Thrawn being awesome doing Thrawn things, other major SW characters come into play. My complaint is that it doesn’t really do much to add back story or depth to the SW universe. This is a pretty contained story that doesn’t have much impact on anything else. If you’re looking for something that would be a cool side story arc of Rebel’s - go for it. If you’re looking for bigger questions or intrigue about the galaxy - pass. Discuss some spoilers below Spoiler I was excited to have Eli back but was bummed he barely spent any time w Thrawn. Even more bummed we didn’t get more focus on the Chiss and Grysk. That’s the interesting parts of these books and now that Thrawn has come back to Lothal and disappeared w Ezra - idk where there’s room to explore that , which is the biggest disappointment for me. I guess they could write more stories that focus on Eli but I doubt those would sell Sigh.
Jesus. I absolutely cannot wait for this. Uh, for my kids. Yeah, I can't wait for my kids to watch all this stuff.
Smuggler’s Run is a dope ride. Walking through the falcon to actually get in the cockpit was pretty awesome feeling as well. Glad I did it a couple times since there is no way I’m going to do it again for a long time with the expected wait time once galaxy’s edge is open to everyone
