The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster. Pre review notice Although I gave this book two stars, Im rather happy to acknowledge that Alan Dean Foster is an immensely talented author, and that this review shouldnt really reflect his authorship too much. In fact, his authorship heightens it from what should be a one star review to the two star that Im generously giving it. So, The Force Reboots The Novelization The Mess. Good grief. Where to begin. Best way I can describe this book is that the weaker elements of the plot of A New Hope were violently blended in with pared down versions of Jacen and Jaina without pretty much any of the background that made them remotely interesting characters, poured onto a floor, forgotten about for a few months, gussied up by Mr. Foster adding a few semi redeeming qualities, then finally served to the general public. To begin the new characters and groups. Finn is by far the most pleasant addition to the cast, as hes actually something NEW. A fairly average, borderline incompetent, but goodhearted Imperial defector Thats the makings of a genuinely interesting characterYou get to see him from his origin here, and it should be a lot of fun to see his evolution in future installments. Through no fault of her own, Rey is presented as a pretty severe nonentity throughout TFA, much like Luke in ANH another of the many, many parallels. The plot just sorta happens to her, and she gets sucked through without really growing or reacting in any notable way. Its nice to have an almost blow for blow adaptation of Jaina in the Nu. EU, especially in such a prominent character position. And then, youve got the hardcore lame duck, Poe. I was half expecting there to be a post crash reveal that he was just a droid programmed to say I can fly anything or something of that ilk. For something that was advertised to be a borderline main character, he had substantially less personality than Artoo for most of the book, and thats saying something. On that note, its worth mentioning that Bee. Bee Ate is literally just a vaguely more mobile but infinitely less useful Artoo clone, which kinda weirded me out at several points in the book. Also, Maz Kanatas there, I guess. Star Wars Dziedzictwo Mocy Ebook' title='Star Wars Dziedzictwo Mocy Ebook' />Finally, onto the bad guys. Snoke got more coverage here than Palpy did in ANH which is pretty cool, I guess, but the First Order as a whole basically took the Empires shtick and said lets somehow make it more boring. I cant begin to imagine why they would just reuse the stock Empire goals of conquest, rather than spicing it up a bit with something a little new. And that brings me to Kylo Ren. I can just imagine the writers room when they were airing his concept You know what TFA needs A clone of Vader, but with more exposition Ren, while still marginally more interesting than Poe, somehow manages to be one of the dullest villains Ive come across in a SF novel, and thats saying something. His characterization is begging for the reader to care that oh, hes so conflicted, although the reader is literally never given a SINGLE reason to care. Like a somehow shittier Anakin, Ren managed to isolate whatever initial investment I had in his dramatic plight and totally bore me during any of his exposition scenes, which is genuinely impressive, considering that I tend to be a fairly forgiving reader. As per the old characters this is where the most colossal of this books colossal screw ups lays. Its like they looked at the characters of Han and Leia and thought to themselves, hmm, how can we possibly screw them up the most Like, if you asked someone who knew anything about Star Wars what their respective top 3 character traits are, that Han is devoted to Leia to the literal ends of the universe, and that Leia holds the memory of Alderaan nearer and dearer to her heart than pretty much anything else would almost definitely show up. With Han on the lam and Leia rather deliberately dropping the Princess title for General, its like the authors are deliberately flipping a middle finger to the original characterizations that everyone fell in love with. At least they couldnt screw up Chewbacca, I guess. Although, the question of his Life Debt is now rather pertinent technically, it should either transfer to Leia or Ben. I hope they dont totally drop that. Then, the setting. I mean, weve known that Jakku was a desert planet for a while now with borderline slaver traders and stuff on there, but SERIOUSLYAt least the Prequels shamelessly reused Tatooine for a reason without straight up renaming it, then sucking away the culture they had built up around it. Same goes for the whatever the name was system they used to replace Coruscant. Then, two planets full of forests. Say what you will about the prequels, but the cultural design and descriptions of Naboo, Geonosis, Coruscant, and Tatooine were infinitely richer than anything given here. And thats like the crux of Star Wars the richness and fullness of its universe historically put it head and shoulders above many of its peer franchises.

Which brings me to my main bone that Ive realized Ive had to pick with the whole Disney Star Wars entity. Ive read reviews of the movie that say oh yeah, TFA finally feels like a Star Wars movie again No shit, it feels like a Star Wars movie, its nothing more than a goddamned rehash of A New Hope set in the eviscerated skeleton of the Star Wars universe.

But Abrams, the king of nostalgia, was attached, so that was a mighty foolish emotion from the get go. Beyond that, its like Disneys trying to rebuild some form of the EU in the same.

I know I have no real right to judge. Everything Ive said here is so stupidly overdramatic, Im sure Ill look back on this in the future and smack myself for being such an un self aware pretentious ass. I have no real stake in this fight. I was just a fan. But, I was a true fan. I lived and breathed Star Wars for something around 1. Disney provided a bit of an early end to that, but Im coming to realize that might not be a bad thing. While the Star Wars chapter of my life is coming to a close, this total reboot will almost certainly give some new fan the wonderful years that I once enjoyed, and that makes me mighty happy to think about. The Force Awakens is a well written hot mess that wholly misses the point of Star Wars in a sense and the characters that live inside its universe. If you liked the movie for whatever reason, Im sure youll love the book.
