Into the Void Part 3
Welcome to our third of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Into the Void (Star Wars Legends Novels) by Tim Lebbon
Chapters 11-15
Into the Void
1. We learned a bit more about Tre's past. Did this alter your opinion of him in any way?
2. Do you think the destruction of the domed city on Nox was integral to Dal's plans?
3. Any plot points in this section you found interesting?
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.

2. Do Dal's comments about how his family all seem to be in some sort of cult and just blindly following this 'Force' thing kind of make sense in a weird way? (he didn't call it a cult, I'm paraphrasing)
3. It seems to be a choice for some to stay or go, but it also seems that Dal didn't feel like he had a choice. I'm a bit confused on that whole thread - like was it simply his family that enrolled him?
The prohibition of relationships was just so short-sighted and honestly doesn't make sense in the grand scheme of things as it seems rooted in fear. Fear of Jedi (Je'ddai) having something more important in their life than the order, fear that they aren't strong enough to manage emotional entanglement, etc. Fear is the opposite of what they preach - so it can't be something that was around or lasted for millennia. I honestly hate how everything in the Star Wars universe has to dance around that topic, to be honest.
One thing I saw and wanted to remember to mention; did you catch the mention of the "Tho Yor" floating around the high temple? The Tho Yor are floating ships that look like 8-sided dice... and they're the ships that brought the ancestors of the peoples in the Tython system here.
I did see mention of that, but didn't catch the connection. Thank you for pointing it out! Interesting.
Honestly, if Dal hadn't decided to kill off so many people on Nox, I'd be inclined to be on his side about exploring the ancestors and whatnot.
