NEW STAR WARS BOOK REVEALS SNOKE’S FORCE POWERS, CANTO BIGHT, & MORE
“So the new details we can gather from this particular set of pages are as follows:
- Rey isn’t on Ahch-To to train with Luke, she’s trying to recruit him for the Resistance effort.
- Luke has spent at least two years on Ahch-To; if we expand upon this bit with what we know about the canon, then this means that the time between Ben Solo’s betrayal and Luke Skywalker’s decision to set up shop on Ahch-To is as great as four years (since Bloodline mentions that Luke and Ben are still teacher and student six years before The Force Awakens), and as little as a few months. There seems to be a deliberate amount of vagueness here so that storytellers have a good amount of creative freedom with these stories.
- Chewbacca fills in the emptiness in his life that Han’s death created with a bunch of puffin-penguin-guinea-pig things.
- Kylo Ren wants revenge for his humiliating defeat at Rey’s hands.We have explicit confirmation that Snoke can use the Force, with abilities in telekinetically throwing and choking people and telepathy emphasized. That last one is important for those who have read the novel, as it’s hinted that Snoke tries to tempt Rey into killing Kylo Ren after besting him in single combat.The Praetorian Guards are humans, not droids or aliens, and are armed with all sorts of unique weapons.The Praetorian Guards are eight in number, ruling out the possibility that they’re the other six Knights of Ren in fancier armor.The Resistance labels bombs with messages to the First Order.“Crankypants” is apparently a word used to describe Rose Tico, because of course it is.”
