1. I think you're right, and I can see good reasons both for and against having some form of organised military branch, and all the issues it brings with it. I'm wondering if we're going to get discussions in the future about whether it's fair for those worlds that are contributing ships to the battles with the Nihil - and losing ships - to carry on suffering losses in terms of people and expensive hardware in order to protect the entire Republic. Or would that cut a little too close to existing real world concerns about things like contributions to NATO and to UN operations?

2. I've been idly speculating if contact with Ty is going to cause either Ty to move closer to the Jedi order, or if it could be an influence towards Elzar potentially leaving the order in the future...

3. I've speculated a few times with friends that the world would be better if we put cats in charge. Perhaps the same holds true for the Republic?

4. I've found it easier following the characters in the comics, although thinking about it the comics haven't quite had all of these characters in the same arcs. I think I may find the audiobooks easier to follow when there are fewer characters, although the quandry is that with new releases, the audiobooks are cheaper than the ebooks.

I saw the upcoming books/next read post - I've been meaning to go back and comment on it, but I keep getting distracted. One of the things I want to do is dig out the Star Wars books I've picked up secondhand at various points, try and work out which ones I've not read, and see if any of them could make for a good monthly read.
