This book review is different from the others we’ve done in the past.

@marksutterauthor.bsky.social has played Star Wars Outlaws and I haven’t which makes for a fun and thought-provoking discussion.

This book is beautiful!

“I hoped to create a new expression of Star Wars, inventing something to expand on the storytelling I have loved since I was a child. And since it premiered in 2024, the fans of the series have affirmed this: We succeeded.”-Leslye Headland
