The Darth Maul Novel

I just don't care about Darth Maul and all his ridiculous "I'm so powerful no one can stand before me I always finish my mission" bullshit. The fact that Darsha and Maul had basically the exact same thoughts about mission failure was so annoying. Especially since neither of them would shut up about it. Darsha's constant "I'm gonna get sent to the agricorps if I fail this one mission" whining was enough to drive me batty. Obi-Wan's presence in this book at all was totally inexplicable and pointless. There just were no good decisions made here at all.

Darth Vader may have been redeemed and the Emperor vanquished, but peace can be fleeting, and evil does not easily relent. Yet the simple belief in good can still empower ordinary individuals to rise and meet the greatest challenges. So return to that galaxy far, far away, and prepare yourself for what happens when the Force awakens ...

The Force Awakens

Rebeca Keren Nuñez

Soy fan de la saga y cómo me paso con los anteriores, siento que me completa un montón la historia de las películas, además la lectura fue súper ágil. Ademas es de la película que introdujo ”sangre nueva” a la saga. (Gracias J.J. por Bebochito y por Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, sé que no fue solo él, pero es en nombre de todos, ademas después esta TROS, por lo que él necesita compensar un poco). La verdad arranca lento y se pone interesante de verdad, cuando ya paso la primera mitad, pero claramente responde a la necesidad de primero presentar a los personajes nuevos y ademas tener que dar el estado de situación de los personajes que vienen de antes.

A good novelization covers all the story of the source as well as adds new material to fill in the gaps -- kind of like "deleted scenes" found on DVDs. Both of these get four stars in The Force Awakens. The action scenes are often too brief, and there could be more extras. We get a bit more of Poe on Jakku. Finn seems more competent and Rey's ease with the technology on Starkiller Base makes more sense. This is a good but not exceptional adaptation. I did get a thrill reading Foster again, 35 years after reading Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
