Star Wars: The Rise of the Empire
Star Wars: The Rise of the Empire: Featuring the Novels Star Wars: Tarkin, Star Wars: A New Dawn, and 3 All-New Short Stories | John Jackson Miller, James Luceno
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Includes three short stories and two novels previously-published in 2014 that further the Star wars universe. TARKIN: Under Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction-- the so-call Death Star-- moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. Until then, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Guerrilla attacks by an elusive band of freedom fighters must be countered with swift and brutal action-- a mission the Emperor entrusts to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer, and Tarkin, whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire's supremacy and its enemies' extinction. A NEW DAWN: Ever since the Jedi were marked for death, Kanan Jarrus has devoted himself to staying alive rather than serving the Force. So when he discovers a conflict brewing between the Imperial forces and desperate revolutionaries, he's not about to get caught in the crossfire. Then the brutal death of a friend forces him to choose between bowing down to the fear or standing up to fight. But Jarris won't be fighting alone. Soon he is joined by Hera Syndulla-- a mysterious agent provocateur with motives of her own-- in challenging the Empire for the sake of a world and its people.

Having recently started a rewatch of Star Wars: Rebels I decided to finally take this book off the shelf. The stories in it do a great job of giving context to some notable Star Wars characters, in particular Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Rae Sloane. Overall I enjoyed “Tarkin” more than “A New Dawn” as I think James Luceno is one of the best Star Wars authors, but each story was an enjoyable read.
