Jakob J.'s Reviews > Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines

The Reylo sequel trilogy of movies could have been vastly improved if this series was used as the blueprint. Instead, they opted for remaking A New Hope, defiling legacy characters, deconstructionist pablum,
and retconned fan service (in that order).

I haven’t watched any of the subsequent Disney+ series, but following The Legacy of the Force story rather than wiping the canonical Expanded Universe slate clean, we could have been spared Boba Fett becoming a bloated Tusken Raider activist with Stockholm Syndrome? I don’t know. Again, I didn’t watch it.

I’m not a bitter fanboy. Star Wars probably should have been put out to pasture some time ago if preservation of artistic integrity was the goal, but what could have been is more fun to think about than watching what we actually got.

In this series, Han and Leia still have a son, Jacen in this timeline, who flirts and struggles with the dark side. Boba Fett was still extricated from the sarlacc pit (and being post-prequel trilogy, and in keeping with Boba Fett as a clone, his body is turning against him, riddling him with tumors. He is hunting down all surviving clones of The Clone Wars, and he fathered a now estranged daughter [so clones produce viable sperm. Good to know]).

This is the second book of nine in this series, but I read it first as a teenager because I saw Boba Fett on the cover.

Another civil war is brewing, threatening stability as the Skywalker-Solo families struggle to maintain peace and order within their families and the galaxy. If I return to a Star Wars EU series, it will likely be this one.
