Light of the Jedi Part 2 of 4
Welcome to our second of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule
Part II-A The Paths #1 (chapters 19-25)
Light of the Jedi Part 2 of 4
1. We learn a bit more about the Nihil in this section and their use of paths through space. Do you think this sort of technology leads to the more common hyperspace lanes in the era of the Empire/Rebellion? Or do you think these paths are still uncharted?
2. The padawan, Bell, is learning how to fall. Indeera tells him he'll need to learn because Jedi fall a lot. Why is Bell struggling with his landings and do you think it's common for other padawans?
3. What do you make of the relationship between Mari San Tekka and Marchion Ro?
4. Any predictions for how the other members of the San Tekka clan get involved? Or don't get involved?
5. Which story thread do you find most interesting at the moment?
FYI - There's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions above - they're just talking points to get us started. Informal chatter is more than welcome! In-person book clubs often veer off topic, it's okay if we do as well. :)
All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past Part II of the book.

2. I feel like the stuff with Bell falling is an extended joke on Obi-Wan and Anakin jumping out of speeders at the drop of a hat, and I approve.
3. Elder abuse. I'm curious how Mari's existence fits into the San Tekkas' current wealth, though.
5. Avar Kriss is almost a dead ringer for my self-insert Jedi character in my elementary school days, so I'm unreasonably attached to her. But I like Bell a lot too.

2. LOL - I also felt like it was an in-joke and hope some of that sort of humor continues.
3. Agreed, her situation is certainly concerning. I wonder if her existence is still feeding their wealth? Not just some sort of "genius prospecting" that generated a lot of wealth in the past.
5. I love lifelong fannish things like that! ♥
