Light of the Jedi Part 2 of 4

[colls]

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.

I ended up staying up late reading the timeline on Wookiepedia, and it looks as if the conclusion there is that what's happening at the time of Light of the Jedi is that there's been a lot of work done on finding and cataloguing new hyperspace routes - it sounds like hyperspace has been a thing for millennia, but also as if the push into the Outer Rim is much more recent. (I may have disappeared down a few rabbit holes on the way!)

Wookiepedia does have a lot of rabbit holes to get lost in - LOL :)
