The New Rebellion Part 3

Welcome to our third of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.

This month’s book is Star Wars The New Rebellion by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Chapters 29-41

The New Rebellion

1. What are your impressions of Smuggler's Run? Any thoughts on the characters who seem to have made it their home?

2. Kueller seems to have unleashed something in an ancient mask - or is Krueller the "something" that was unleashed? How does his brand of 'Sith-bent-on-galactic-domination' differ from Palpatine?

3. R2-D2 and C-3PO seem to be having an adventure of their own. How will they manage to escape the droid factory planet and will they manage to take Cole with them?

4. If this novel had been made into a movie, what sort of details would you be most interested to see on screen?


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 III of the book.

1. I find it really odd that someone decided that the way to get 20-year-old Imperial equipment refurbished for sale was to transplant lots of sand and Jawas and a crawler to an asteroid in Smuggler's Run.

Agreed. It feels like a shoehorned reference to Children of the Jedi, which the author lampshades, but doesn't really do anything to justify its addition to this novel.
