Book Club: Darksaber

from Aggressive Negotiations: A Star Wars Podcast Hosted by The Nerd Party

Book Club: Darksaber. John and Matt have re-read the 1995 Star Wars Expanded Universe (Now “Legends”) novel “Darksaber,” and have a fresh review on the work through the lens of hindsight and fan nostalgia. They ask: - Would this hold up for adaptation in the modern era, like Thrawn? - Were creators too obsessed with “Death Star Tech” back then, too? - Are we too nostalgic about the old EU? - Would there be anything here for non-Star Wars fans to enjoy? Let these Jedi Masters show how works like Darksaber pointed the way to a successful future for Star Wars publishing…and whether that guidance is needed again.
