After a series of chapters filled with death and destruction (this book has quite a lot of death, be warned) the Jedi burst onto the scene characterised explicitly as “hope”, wearing stunning white robes (a ceremonial uniform they happened to be wearing at a nearby event) that presents them as an even more romanticised version of themselves. Set hundreds of years before the events of The Phantom Menace when the Jedi were at the height of their powers and the Sith were all but eradicated, the book creates a more positive, forward-thinking universe – almost Star Trek like – where the needs of the many definitely outweigh the needs of the few.Īnd from the start, Soule’s book really leans into the idealised vision of the Jedi plenty of fans would have once imagined.
Or at least it does based on Charles Soule’s first book for the spin-off project, titled Light of the Jedi. For more information about how we hold your personal data, please see our privacy policy. We may also send occasional updates from our editorial team.
