I started listening to the Light of the Jedi, the first book in the High Republic media…whatever they’re calling it, and while it’s taken thirty plus minutes to get engaging, I realized why most of the novels really gripped me. All of the films start off with some kind of fast paced cut opening or something ominous from the start. The Star destroyer chasing the alliance blockade runner, the fight over Coruscant, an assassination attempt on Padme, etc. Aside from Zahn’s trilogy in the 90s, they almost all start out slow even when that first chapter ends exciting, it’s this dull plodding before anything happens.
I mean it’s got me now, an hour or four chapters in, but it just seems like the novels never catch that fast pace or ominous opening that then lends to the characters later. They reverse that and it just doesn’t feel like Star Wars for awhile.
I’m looking at getting some of the comics from the library and I’m betting we get a series or film set in this era at some point. I’m half looking forward to it. Im partial to the Old Republic era if we’re talking really old prequels

I am so sorry...
