[@StuartLugsden]

I swear Alex is able to read these books within a day.

[@stephaniemack176]

To be fair this one was utterly impossible to put down. LOL Seriously, I read it in a day as well. It was just that good

[@ConorCarlisle]

I'm pretty sure he gets review copies and gets to read them early. That's why his reviews come out the day the books are released.

[@StuartLugsden]

@@ConorCarlisle He dose but I still imagine he's able to read them within a day.

[@LordTreeko]

@@StuartLugsden you are both right. He has addressed both in the QnA lol When he got the review copy of light of the jedi, he said he finished it in a day.

[@shamsham1229]

He did actually read this one in a day lmao

[@ugoeze7360]

When Alex says he read a new Stars Wars material, he means he touches the book uses some type of power… i think it’s called Osmosis. It’s the only way he’s able to know these little gems of details.

[@kameelelian6044]

😖 I think this guy already has a girlfriend

[@trevorhensley3185]

I love your sense of humor, Alex.

[@gabriel.skywalker44]

Good book, Looking forward to what's more from the High Republic 😁

[@heerogundam]

Been waiting to watch this video, just finished fallen star today! What a ride!! 😆

[@Major98]

Just got done listening to this book, I enjoyed it. I'd give this book an 8/10. It's neither the best nor the worst Claudia Gray book. I think it's epic in scale and tragic with no punches pulled. Elzar Mann and Bell Zettifar are the highlights from the book. I did have some issues with pacing, and characters repeatedly making dumb choices like a cheap horror film. I think it's better than the author's other High Republic book Into the Dark.

[@psychedbypat]

I feel like this book had less connections and references to other High Republic works and plot than the other THR stories so far, making it feel almost disconnected from the whole story, and there were a bit too many Claudia Gray-self references for my taste haha. Loved finding them though, that always feels super rewarding as a reader. I always love your fun fact videos, this time I actually caught lots of them myself. The comic connection to Luke is so intriguing! Can't wait for the Mission to Disaster and Midnight Horizon ones! :)

[@thewayseekingjedi4336]

In the Fallen Star audiobook, the Margengai Glide is a really cool song. I hope we will get a full version.

[@lordfoul6259]

I just finished reading I and it was awesome those new creatures that feed off the force scared the crap out of the

[@madisonwhovian943]

And we still don't really know what they look like 😩

[@lordfoul6259]

@@madisonwhovian943 I know and the other thing that makes them so terrifying is what they do to the jedi when they're in their presence I doubt even Yoda can deal with these things

[@mightheal]

I wonder if the creature is actually a Vornskrs, which are the predators that hunt Ysalamiri.

[@franciscovalencia7568]

I barely noticed that when they use the flairs to distract the Rathtars it is a reference to Jurassic Park

[@drago90121]

I THINK JJ-5145 might be a reference to George Lucas, with his birthday being May 14th (5/14) but I don’t know about the 5.

[@BanesBasement]

Reaching a bit don’t you think

[@harryjackson2215]

YAAAAAAY! Been waiting for this

[@justinsmith2530]

I loved this book. And like you Alex I am loving the high republic

[@alexfdezpal]

Waiting on the Wave 2 recap! I only read the novels and it feels like lots of characters of this new book have some stories coming from the other high republic books

[@CD-Freedom]

Is there a video for Thrawn Ascendency: Lesser Evil Trivia?

[@plokoon7240]

Are there any points connected to Out of the Shadows? I haven't finished wave 2 yet but I really wanna start reading The Fallen Star.

[@henrywood1304]

Yes. Multiple characters introduced in Out of the Shadows reappear in The Fallen Star

[@pwningo3o4]

Yes. Two of the characters in The Fallen Star are involved in Out of the Shadows. I wouldn’t say you have to read Out of the Shadows to understand the events of The Fallen Star. However, Fallen Star will spoil Out of the Shadows partially.

[@kamellpeterson2210]

Yes, quite a few things from Out of the Shadows are connected to this book

[@Crocthunder]

Still wild to me they are bouncing it back 150 years for the next section of the project.

[@MarchionRoTheEye]

Great book! Glad it had a happy ending

[@eriklundstrom1336]

big, important space stations really don't fare well in Star Wars...

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thank you, Alex! 📖

[@trill_jenth]

Right on time, I just finished it.

[@silvernexoknight]

Awesome

[@juanalvaroherrera1962]

Nice job

[@myriadmediamusings]

An “Illumination” of Jedi has indeed gotta be the most pretentious thing I heard related to Star Wars in a long time.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

The collective nouns of our world are also hella pretentious and most have never been used in real speech, but were just coined by poets

[@myriadmediamusings]

@@AbsolXGuardian Exhibit A: A parliament of owls.

[@cortalina8617]

I honestly loved that. Let's be honest the jedi won't have come up with it themselves.

[@zeux5583]

in the star wars: ronin novel a group of jedi was called a "headace" XD

[@BrennySpain]

“Illumination” huh? I like the term they’re going in.

[@joegroves2517]

I don't remember which other one it was mentioned in, but Airam must be a rework of the Airam traders from X-wing vs Tie Fighter: Balance of Power. And is the YT-2000 from X-wing Alliance something that is canon in any way?

[@mightheal]

I just finished the book. I liked it but I thought the destruction of Starlight Beacon was far less chaotic then what I was expecting. It didn't make sense that one of the Nihil saboteurs wouldn't head down to the cargo docking bay to release the release the Rathtar's or little the leveler was roaming around the station to hunt Jedi. Now that the leveler is confirmed to be a creature it makes me wonder if the creature is really a Vornskrs and that they're retconning or are establishing how they eat.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

4:42 I guess there would be liability issues if the cookbook's recipe was "mix together hard liquors and then regret" Something I caught is that it's described that radioactive material will have to be recovered from Starlight's wreck on Eiram. That means that aspects of Starlight were nuclear powered. The new eu saga era actually has had a noticeable lack of anything nuclear powered. However 100 years before that Phasma's home planet was colonized with a nuclear power plant. It's failure is what turned her planet into Fallout x Mad Max. This makes me think that some high profile nuclear disasters, Parnassos included, occurred in the end of the High Republic era, making nuclear power unpopular. If Eiram's containment efforts of the Starlight wreck don't go well, it could be another one.

[@notrixamoris3318]

Love lost stars...

[@MatthewPalanca]

It's pronounced "Lee-Ox JEE-Ah-See". Alright, alright, alright?

[@LordTreeko]

Thank you for saying manga correctly, Alex. I hate it when I hear "mayneguh" it is "Monguh" This will teach those who aren't familiar how to pronounce it correctly 👌🙏

[@DDuffy143]

Apparently a page turner this was!

[@kylearking8918]

Is anyone else finding it a little stressful keeping up with all of The High Republic content? Haha

[@MatthewPalanca]

SO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE DIES?!?!

[@brigidpettigrew]

Another Eater Egg is in the audiobooks. I've listened to the lot of them and the voice of Ro is repeated with each narrator.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Just started listen on Audible, so I'll be back once done

[@Jice88]

How do you spell Marin Guy Glide properly? The music Leox used.

[@Joeagles0922]

First

[@jedipadwan20]

Most people would no one cares. I say I care another KZbinr didn’t have comments on his one video I watched an just for fun I said first an got my comment pinned. Which was cool. But if you ever get comments where someone says no one cares it’s a lie cause their just mad they didn’t comment first.

[@damiandekker474]

Such a disappointing book after the first two incredible novels, though not as pointless as Out of the Shadows. Hoping Midnight Horizon picks things up again.
