![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Towards the end of Life Debt, there's concurrent action taking place on Kashyyyk and Chandrilla that is equal in impact, yet what's actually going on on the two planets couldn't be more different.Īs with any story set between Episodes VI and VII, there is an immediate draw to see what the state of the galaxy was between the two films. The action in Life Debt is also an upgrade from its predecessor. Part of this may be the inclusion of more classic characters (Han, Leia, and Chewie all play significant roles in the story), but Wendig also does an excellent job at fleshing out his original characters. While I enjoyed the first Aftermath novel, I do think Life Debt is a significant improvement. Which is unfortunate, because Life Debt is a fun adventure, and opens up some very intriguing story lines that could play into the sequel trilogy in a big way. The novel, which picks up following Return of the Jedi and lays the groundwork for The Force Awakens, hit shelves a little over a month ago in the week leading up to Star Wars Celebration in London, meaning its release was largely overshadowed by the news from the convention ( Rogue One, Star Wars Rebels, Alden Ehrenreich, etc.). The most unfortunate thing about Star Wars: Aftermath: Life Debt, the second installment in Chuck Wendig's Aftermath trilogy, may be the timing of its release. ![]()
