*a nice way of saying overly autistic. its ok that youre not a sw fan, but you know they are going to point out your bad takes on SW. it used to be a good franchise, and some of us still like the dark days before dibsney intentionally ruined things. some of the eu sucked, but it was CONSISTENT with the overall universe. this cucksquad shit is just embarassing. who the fuck would fly two ships meant for bomb in runs with 3 miss matched fighters? the premise is fucking retarded. and the quote I shared from the book, where tranny protagonist gets annoyed after a mission fail and punches her commanding officer, then he gives her command of the team (lmao) its pretty far into TUMBLRfanfic territory if you ask me. he also riffs on the emperor being evil with some pretty twitter esque virtue signalling of him. ex:

The Emperor who ordered Operation Cinder, who built two Death Stars, who oversaw countless genocides and massacres and created an Empire where torture droids were in common use, was not a man of secret brilliance and foresight.

..

He was a cruel man. Petty and spiteful in the most ordinary of ways; and spiteful men do spiteful things. Whatever else he intended, that is the root of it all.

This is a pretty horrid description of the emperor and his actions, and it belies this nitwit having read likely Nothing of the emperor's history before dibsney came along. It sounds like it came straight off of tumblr.

And he is a self-taught author, too, idk If I like that or not.

“We are Emperor-free for the first time in decades,” Freed says. “What do you do now? You’ve lived in this world for decades so all that informs your experiences.

Instant fail. Look at how he describes star wars. This guy is a bandwagon cuck, not a SW fan.

this retardfag thinks that the empire controlled every part of the galaxy like a president of America would/ hes literally a goddamn retard who should be put nowhere near star wars.

Here, Freed latches our focus onto Yrica Quell, a pilot who is recruited to join a band of Rebels, and also trying to wash away the guilt of her actions when she followed the orders of the Emperor.

The last 'star wars' game (by ea) had a story like this. BORING. woke wamens regrets being an empire thug. DONT CARE

Why are the rebels recruiting an empire thug after the last decades long war against them? she stayed with them after the death star was constructed? she didnt defect when it was destroying entire planets? I dont want this bitch on the rebels. why are the rebels so cucked that they decide to go after and recruit her? is it the product of soy upbringings? in sanfran?

In typical “Star Wars” fashion, the nuances are plentiful and satisfying. There are torture droids turned helpful therapists,

What? this sounds like a helpful 'rian johnson' level of "nuance". like how random stableboys are secretly masters of the force, more powerful than the story's main arch villain.

I dont think the tortue droids normally talk? maybe I have to brush up on my lore a smidge.

what makes Freed’s book so captivating aren’t these canon details, but rather the mood and uncertainty that colors every decision in a universe that is suddenly without the grounding qualities of defined good and evil.

What the fuck, nigga? that is like LITERALLY ALL of dibsneys wars, how the rebels are also terrrrorists. .... this is all new dibswars since 2016 or whenever.

and arguably the prequels were not written with that total grounding either.... i dont think either of these niggas know any SW outside of dibsneywars, tbh.

Suddenly there is not an absolutely evil puppet master directing all the harm in the galaxy.

these faggot soys have literally made the emperor into exact analogy to space hitler. as if theres no mob or other evils in the entire sw era

But, you know, if you’ve been working for that evil puppet master for 20 years, you don’t just shake that off. What does that mean? What do you do with it? If you’re on the side of the good guys, if you’re a rebel for the last how many years, what happens when you’re no longer the underdog? How do you adjust to that? What do you do?”

uh, what? you know there are more eras to the universe and this has literally happened before in different ways? these fags know NOTHING about star wars, this extent has confirmed it for me.

In some ways, those last two questions might be Freed’s subconscious describing himself as a writer.

Wut? lmao, NO.

When Freed was a kid growing up in the Philadelphia area, he’d come home after school, fix himself a snack and pop a “Star Wars” tape into the VCR. This was a daily ritual for him, watching George Lucas’ beloved trilogy over and over again in 30-minute installments day after day.

AHAHAHAHAHAH. X for DOUBT

He’d view the familiar scenes from the space opera and think about the stray creatures in the background — curious about their histories, their traits, their desires. It sounds like the type of childhood a man destined to write “Star Wars” novels would experience. But it’s rare when a ritual lasts forever.

Oh wow, he 'wondered' about the universe? did this nigga ever read a single book from it? dont think so.

omfg this next paragraph. literally LMAO irl-

“I loved ‘Star Wars’ as a kid,” Freed, 38, says. “I sort of left it behind a little as I became a teenager and young adult, not out of any disdain, but I had never really gotten into the assorted video games and novels and that sort of thing. They never really came my way. So I fell out of the franchise.”

so these niggas just admitted he's only seen the og films 'in 30 minute chunks' and quit sw at 13-14. but hes totally qualified to write about the universe because the "novels never came to him" ROFLMAO. this guy is fucking patient zero for all the SJW cucks who are trying to ruin gaming and every other one of our hobbies. this nigga watched a film when hes 12 and now he's qualified to be a gatekeeper and lore creator for it, even though he admits he never consumed any of the deeper media around it. this is pitiful, fuck dibsney, and fuck this cuckold for pretending to be a fan. niggar cunt.

Like most kids of his era, Freed was taken by the spell of video games, spending his weekends staying up late trying to complete the next level of whatever game he was playing.

he just admitted he didnt play the sw video games.... but he was a gamer? LMFAO

So which video games did you play? 'yeah all of them'. this fake fan nigga sounds like sarah palin when she was asked what her favorite magazine was.

Freed was captivated by pen-and-paper role-playing games — the “Dungeons and Dragons”-type constructs that rely on a user’s imagination and endurance as much as anything else.

So he didnt play dnd? just other rpgs that he couldnt name for the article? rofl - X DOUBT

He had become an integral part of one of the most iconic intellectual properties on the planet. Those hours watching the original “Star Wars” trilogy had paid off.

So it admits he hasnt even seen the prequels, this nigga is writing a series about the end of the empire and doesnt even know its beginning.... what a tremendous faggot.

There’s a blessing and a curse to writing “Star Wars” novels. Let’s call it the Light and Dark side of the job...

The Light is rather obvious: There’s a large audience of people just waiting to read the thing you’ve written. It’s the kind of scenario most authors fantasize about but rarely realize.

The Dark side is the bias prompted by writing about “Star Wars.” Because while these books are popular, they’re also ghettoized by some in the literary community who refuse to view them as anything more than science fiction genre work. Or, in another derogatory term, as glorified fan fiction.

These niggas cant even make a workable 'force' analogy. fuck them both. you soy fucking fake nerd cunts

but yeah hes right, this ISNT fan fictiion, because its written for and BY non fans, you fucking gay niggas.

I like writing about ‘Star Wars.’ There’s a lot to be done there. But if it hadn’t been such a receptive audience, I might have been reluctant to spend so much time in that world

Niggar is literally writing only for fame, he doesnt like the franchise. Fuck him with a rusty bantha poodoo. niggar.

There’s a passage in “Alphabet Squadron” when Freed is describing Yrica Quell’s perspective inside the cockpit of an X-wing fighter. What makes it sO eFfEcTiVe isn’t the detail about what her eyes see or the tightness of her quarters. It’s comparing the sensations to how she felt when she sat in the cockpit of a TIE fighter, her ship when she was a pilot for the Empire.

Hard no. I like how these niggas need to explain what a tie fighter is, in a review of a star wars author.

“I figure if you’re a ‘Star Wars’ fan and you’re coming to this material, let’s give you something you can’t get from the movies or the comics or anything else, and that is what it actually feels like to be in this place,”

This guy is a serious faggot. Youve only watched 4-6 and you claim to have something thats not anywhere else in star wars... youre a cringe faggot and should probably seppuku immediately with your 5k worth doubtless funcopop collection and yaoi hentai dolls.

He wants to ensure the legacy of this franchise. He wants to ensure that the fans have something to read that they’re proud of, that they enjoy reading.

“I really don’t want to disappoint them.”

Shut up, cuck.

(416 pages, $28.99)

the price is even more of a slap in the face, 30 for this shit? id rather eat j. lucas's fresh poo than consume this gay tran focused story for an admitted non fan.
