“Star Wars: A New Dawn” is an important entry into the Star Wars library for a few reasons.
First, it is the first book in Disney’s new Star Wars canon. In other words,
this book is just as much a part of the Star Wars saga as any of the movies.
Second, this book introduces readers to a few of the main characters in the
upcoming animated TV show “Star Wars: Rebels.”
To be perfectly
honest, I had not been particularly excited about “Rebels.” I had some issues
with “The Clone Wars” and the same creative team is heading “Rebels.” From what
I’d seen thus far, it seemed like the beginning of the Disneyfication of Star
Wars. So I was initially somewhat skeptical of this book. That said, John
Jackson Miller is one of my favorite Star Wars authors, so it had that to its
credit.
