Light of the Jedi Part 4 of 4

Welcome to our last check-in and discussion post for our Book of the Month.

This month’s book is Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule
Part III The Storm (chapters 37-44 + epilogue)

Light of the Jedi Part 4 of 4

1. Jora Malli, the Jedi who was to have been in charge of Starlight Beacon, had a white saber. How has saber colors shifted over the years in Star Wars canon and/or have you ever paid attention to the meanings before?

2. Bell Zettifar seems to be the only one considering that his master isn't actually dead. Do you have any predictions on how this will play out in the next installment? (assuming the next installment is a) chronologically set after this one and b) focuses on the same events/characters)

3. Has your opinion about the leaders Chancellor Lina Soh or Marchion Ro changed over the course of the book?

4. The ending of this book was not the ending of the story for many of the characters. For which character(s) are you most interested in finding out what happens next?

5. Other thoughts?



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. :)

I just did some googling because I’m not wanting to start “The Rising Storm” and missing something plot relevant and it looks like I’m supposed to read the first comic volume then “A test of courage” and “Into the dark” then some more comics before I can even start.
I get wanting to make the universe feel bigger by adding side stories etc but this actually seems required reading because I’ve come across a spoiler in my research that happens in a younger audience novel that I can’t believe they put there instead of leaving it for the 3rd adult novel.
I have read the 19 volume New Jedi Order so I don’t care about length but at least that was consecutive.
