Legacy of the Force

I finally finished Legacy of the Force. It’s my first EU readthrough and here are my thoughts about it:

There will be many spoilers to plot points. Without spoilers in short: I thought it was not good. Way under NJO but it wasn’t terrible and it has it’s good or epic moments and I would definitely read it again just for knowledge of continuity. I would recommend you to read it but it’s far from njo.

Now spoilers so don’t read if you haven’t read. Stop.

!I don’t hate it I really liked Ben‘s arc and his connection to Luke. Also I liked to see Tahiri back she was definitely one of my favorite characters from the JJK and YJK books. I also liked Jacen‘s original intentions making the galaxy safer for Tenel Ka and Allana and in the end loosing them similar to his grandfather Anakin. I like Boba Fett though his Mandalorian storyline felt a bit forced into it. The death of Thracken Sal Solo was hilarous. I still think Anakin Solo was intentioned as going dark and Jacen not that’s one thing that bugs me a bit. I think Mara‘s death was a tragedy. Also I think Luke and most of the others on the Jedi council were blind way to long about Jacen. I mean he litterly transformed to another Vader but the Jedis said it’s not their business and did nothing about it until Mara died come on. I think Lumiya being a former love interest of Luke feels also kinda weird cause I‘ve never read or heard anything about her (I understand there’s a Comic or short story I believe.) Though I have to say her character dynamic with Jacen and also Alema Rar was fantastic. She really gave the story the punch it needed. Between her death and the hunt for Jacen it felt a little slow. I still don’t know what I should think about the Sith order at Korriban. It’s interesting that more Sith live than we thought but aren’t there only two Sith at a time at this point? btw Alema finding them and getting out alive is also not believable to me. She was no Sith she found the Sith hideout why should they let her live. If someone interrogated her and found out about them they would be in danger why let her go. They should‘ve killed her or even better she shouldn’t have found out at all. Ship is also not really cool. There are sentient ships now like wtf idk. Honestly the series is not as terrible as everyone says but still it’s way under njo or the previous books. I‘m happy I‘m finally done with it. What are your thoughts? Question me if you want.!<
