Die inoffiziellen James Luceno-Wochen sind im JediCast ausgebrochen! Nachdem wir in der letzten Ausgabe bereits über Schleier der Täuschung geredet haben, ist es nun aber Zeit, wieder in den wohlvertrauten Kanon zurückzukehren und mit Tarkin Lucenos ersten Beitrag zum Kanon aus dem Jahr 2014 zu besprechen. In diesem erhalten wir eine Mischung aus Biografie- und Handlungsroman, was nicht immer vollends aufgeht, am Ende aber ein besseres Verständnis für Tarkins Auftreten bereithält. Wieso ist er ein solch kühler Taktiker, was verbindet ihn mit Sidious und Vader und warum droht die Tarkin-Doktrin durch seine antrainierte Sichtweise anderer Menschen im quasi Naturzustand zu scheitern? All das beantwortet der Roman - oder wir interpretieren es zumindest großzügig hinein. Zeit also für Ines und Tobias, dieses frühe Kanon-Werk einmal zu durchforsten. Wie funktioniert es heute, obwohl Rogue One nicht einmal erwähnt wird (weil es zum Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens noch kein Thema war), weitere Verknüpfungen fehlen und Vader seltsam "unvaderig" klingt? Wieso gelingt der Balanceakt nicht immer und wie hätte man aus den vielen guten Ansätzen am Ende einen kohärenteren und emotionaleren Roman mit spannenden Antagonisten stricken können? Am Ende stellen sich auch die Fragen, welchen Luceno-Roman wir gerne noch lesen würden, wenn wir die Wahl hätten, und ob Luceno es versäumt hat, Sidious zu schreiben, und aus Gewohnheit bei Palpatine blieb. All das in dieser Ausgabe Ausgelesen!

Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von Tarkin, geschrieben von James Luceno Die englische Originalausgabe erschien kurz nach dem Kanon-Schnitt im November 2014 bei Del Rey Ein englischsprachiges Hörbuch, gelesen von Euon Morton, erschien am gleichen Tag bei Random House Audio Die deutsche Übersetzung erschien dann im Februar 2016 bei Blanvalet Die Rezensionen Florian rezensierte die englischsprachige Originalausgabe und lobte das Werk - im Kontext des damals noch jungen Kanons - als "sehr aufschlussreiche[n] Roman, der die „Dunklen Zeiten“ zwischen III und IV sehr gut erkundet und dabei auch Tarkin selbst mehr Leben einhaucht als bisherige Werke das vermochten". Die Warnung, dass das Werk jedoch nicht für rasante Action steht, sondern für "ausführliche Erkundungen der Vergangenheit", findet sich auch in seiner Rezension. Joshua griff diesen Punkt in seiner Rezension auf und ließ ihn stärker ins Gewicht fallen, weshalb er nur vier von fünf Holocrons vergab. Am Ende überwog aber auch für ihn die tolle Figurenarbeit: "Jedem Star Wars-Fan, der Interesse an wenig gezeigten Filmcharakteren hegt, wird dieser Roman gefallen. Auch, wenn der Plot eher weniger spannend ist, ist das Buch genau das, was ich erwartet habe: Eine Portraitzeichnung eines der faszinierendsten Star Wars-Bösewichten".

This week, we revisit the legends novel, ‘Darth Plagueis' by James Luceno! After commending Luceno for his unrivaled ability to connect numerous plot threads in the book to events in the prequel trilogy, we dig into many of the esoteric quotes from the text and share why we think Darth Plagueis is the most compelling Sith Lord to date! 

This week we're going back to our favorite Star Wars author, James Luceno, with Catalyst: A Rogue One novel. The backstory on the design and construction of the first Death Star is a perfect story for Luceno to be telling. Like his other works it might be light on the action, but it makes up for that in character building, political in-fighting, and the overall general wormy sneakiness that is Orson Krennic. How did the Ersos meet Saw Gerrerra? Why is Galen such a sucker while Lyra seems to be so on the ball? Would things have been easier for everyone if Krennic and Tarkin had just settled their conflict with blasters at dawn? Everything but that last question will be answered here. We know that Tarkin is too smart to fight face to face at this point in his life. But if you didn't hate Krennic quite enough before here are many more reasons for you to start. The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action.

This week marks the one year anniversary for Execute Chapter 66! To celebrate we're revisiting one of favorite Star Wars authors, James Luceno. Despite the rather generic Jedi, Dark Lord is definitely worth a read. It's not Luceno's fault that the Jedi were all pretty generic until The Clone Wars animated series came out so we'll let him slide. If you've ever wondered what was going on behind Vader's mask or how the mental transition from Anakin to Vader happened this book will not disappoint. And all without whining about sand or killing any more younglings. The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come.

This month Lucasfilm released the full-length theatrical trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. After our first recording of our reactions to the trailer was mangled by a pack of electronic gremlins, we sat down to record them again. In the meantime, several more interesting comments about the film emerged in the entertainment press, so we were able take those into account in our comments on the trailer this time. This trailer for Rogue One is notable in several respects. For one, it continues the trend we've discussed previously: portraying Jyn much more as an inspiring leader taking charge of a mission against the Empire, rather than the belligerent criminal reluctantly conscripted into the Rebellion we saw in the first teaser. This also calls to mind Kathleen Kennedy's description of Jyn back in June, but with more emphasis on Jyn as "a kind of Joan of Arc in the story" rather than as a "streetwise delinquent." In addition, this trailer has marked differences from the trailers for The Force Awakens last year. It appears to flow roughly in chronological order for the film: from Jyn's childhood to her liberation from Imperial custody by the Rebels, to the Yavin base and on to Jedha, and then to Scarif. The Rogue One trailer also reveals much more about the story of the film: who the protagonist characters are and what they are fighting for. While we still wonder whether the timeline placement in relation to the other Star Wars films will be clear enough to the casual audience who hasn't been paying close attention to the marketing of Rogue One to date, this trailer is a definite improvement in providing an "elevator pitch" for the movie to those fans. Now we have a better sense of who these characters are, and why we should root for them. Check out the episode for our full thoughts on the trailer, including Director Krennic, Galen Erso, Darth Vader, and more.
