Star Wars: Shadow Of The Sith By Adam Christopher Spoiler-Free Book Review – Between The Original & Sequel Trilogies

SITH CULTISTS FROM EXEGOL THREATEN LANDO, REY’S PARENTS AND LUKE! Shadow Of The Sith by Adam Christopher is this episode’s focus where Mike gives you his spoiler-free thoughts on the book, with some plot details near the end! Set in 21ABY (17 years after Return Of The Jedi & 13 years before The Force Awakens), this book tells interweaving stories about Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Ochi Of Bestoon, a young Rey and her parents Dathan & Miramir, all caught up in a plot by the Sith Eternal!

In more detail, Mike gives his spoiler-free thoughts on the book, as well as providing background information, he then provides some minor details on themes and the general pacing & start of the book, while steering clear of any major plot points, before providing his full thoughts at the end which include spoilers about appearances, great moments, connections to related content and an overview of the plot.

Please note due to general life busyness, Mike recorded this in his car, so the audio quality isn't as good as it usually is!

Last week, in ep 105 of SWCIC, Mike delved into 6 stories within 5 comics surrounding the canon cruise ship The Halcyon which span from The High Republic Era all the way up to The Last Jedi, with stories in each of the main eras of the current Star Wars canon! As some pirates try to capture a resistance spy from the ship, stories are told to keep a young girl’s mind off of the havoc, including an adventure with Wookiee padawan Burryaga, bounty hunter Aurra Sing fighting a monster, Maz Kanata working with Hondo Ohnaka & Lando to steal back an artifact, Anakin & Padmé pursue a senator and a man is tracked down by some familiar bounty hunters!
