Ahsoka Part 2
Welcome to our second of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston
Chapters 8-15
Ahsoka
1. Did Hoban and the other farmers do the right thing in their two-pronged approach in dealing with the Imperials? What other options do you think they had?
2. Will Ahsoka leave Raada behind entirely? How does the force-sensitive Fardi girl tie in to what's happening now on Raada?
3. How does the destruction of the planet's eco-system, at Raada and other places, seem at all sustainable in the long run to the Empire? (/rhetorical?)
4. How do you think the main confrontation will play out? What would you like to see?
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 II of the book.

I think you're right about the emotional choice Hoban and the other townspeople made - also about it being stupid but understandable.
The Imperials don't seem concerned by the long-term survival of anything. Like... what's the ultimate goal? They have no idea. Also, the politics of the prequels made little sense, so I'm handwaving it on them being kind of cardboard-villains. This isn't the author's fault - this is how Star Wars is in a lot of respects. Which is why I'm so enthralled with Rogue One and Andor and how they actually try to show impact and provide analysis of the hows and whys of it all.

A chilling thought, isn't it?
