And get told about the events of TLJ by Snap and Kare.

And Wedge gets sad.

I haven't really jumped in to the new canon yet, beyond the movies, but this excerpt has me intrigued.

@catachanninja - This is dipping your Wedge chocolate in my Resistance Black Squadron peanut butter to make magic.

NOT A EUPHEMISM!

Better writing style to most (not all) of the newer works. Interesting passage. I’m interested, but not among my first purchases

Stackpole writes Wedge better.

It's a shame Aaron Allston passed ... he was better than Stackpole.

Really? I thought it was awful. The dialogue particularly; it was stilted and unnatural.

This Wedge is not the same as the old Wedge of Stackpole and Allston days. He had a harsher life post-Endor. It’s unfair to direct cast comparisons.

Stackpole tends to fixate on characters to the point that they're... well... Corran Horn. Victor Davion. He's pretty good at storytelling though, so don’t think I’m bashing him. Just keep things in perspective.

Comparatively. Keep in mind what we have so far. Wendig? Luceno?

In T-65s, no less! No, you can't have them, Resistance scum.

Actually, I'm thinking not everything in Ep IX will be necessarily "Resistance" or "First Order." Some of these are just Rebels that are joining the fray at some point. Clearly there are larger forces at play here...

If you say so. I stopped reading SW novels years ago. The only ones I still pick back up are the original Thrawn Trilogy and the X-Wing series.

If it makes you feel better, you’re not missing much.

Lol. Cheers. I didn't think I was.
