What they will love:
- An anthology format of short stories, ideal for discovering or exploring the Star Wars universe through the point of view of several iconic characters from the franchise.
- If they’ve seen the movies: a host of iconic characters, from Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin Skywalker, to Mace Windu and the sinister Darth Sidious, aka Emperor Palpatine!
- Different planets explored, spaceships, lightsaber duels: no doubt, all the elements of a good Star Wars production are there!
What can cause problems:
- A good knowledge of the Star Wars universe is necessary to fully understand the stakes of the series; at least to know who Ahsoka Tano is (and why she decided to leave the Jedi Order) and Count Dooku, who will become the Sith Dark Tyranus.
- The darkness of certain episodes, and in particular the one featuring the fight to the death between Count Dooku and the Jedi Master Yaddle.
