Writing over at StarWars.com, our old buddy James Floyd takes a look at the recently released Resistance Reborn and the connections it makes to the wider Star Wars galaxy.
The new novel Star Wars: Resistance Reborn, by Rebecca Roanhorse, is a delight to read, picking up after Star Wars: The Last Jedi and blazing the trail toward Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. After Crait, the Resistance is barely alive — the few survivors all fit in the Millennium Falcon, and still have room for porgs. But hope still exists, and General Leia plans to use that hope for fighting back against the First Order or die trying. To do that, she and Poe Dameron have to put the call out for anyone willing to fight the good fight in a galaxy scared to take on the might of the First Order. They need soldiers. They need pilots. They need leaders and strategists. Not to mention starfighters, capital ships, weapons, supplies, and a base to hide out in while rebuilding from their near destruction at D’Qar. This means that it’s time to bring into play anyone still standing in the galaxy far, far away. And the First Order knows this, and makes it a priority to track down anyone that might be swayed to join the Resistance.
