Revan Part 4

[colls]

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

This month’s book is Revan (Star Wars: The Old Republic #1) by Drew Karpyshyn
Chapters 24-29

Revan

1. How were the lightsaber/force-lightning battles portrayed here different than in movies or animated series? How were they similar?

2. The book doesn't end well for the protagonists. What are your thought on how their endings were handled? How does it compare to other story Jedi story arcs?

3. Any 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. :)

Next weekend is COMICS! Come talk about any comics you're reading/have read.
(I'm gong to attempt to finish the Doctor Aphra series we started here.)

1. I noticed a reference or two about certain lightsaber forms and wondered what this brought to the story for others. I only know the basics (Form 1 is for beginners, Form 4 is the one Ahsoka uses, um... some other stuff...)
I've discovered lightsaber battles are like space battles for me, more interesting on the screen. ;)

2. *sigh
The one time we don't chat about who will die. I was just beginning to like Meetra, too.

It wasn't really the ending I was expecting, but I also found I didn't care much by the end. Especially after the droid blew up. (How Rude!) I didn't hate it, it was just ok. This wasn't my favorite Star Wars novel.
