I started reading the first EU novel set in the “Old Republic” MMORPG setting.

I’m glad that setting the story 40,0000 years before “Star Wars” frees the creators to be bold and original. Now that their not tied to the same characters and situations, I’m excited to see what brilliance we’ll get.

There’s this Evil Empire, and a villain is a Sith Lord with a breath mask!

There’s a shady Mandalorian with awesome battle armor!

There’s a Hutt crime lord with a palace full of weirdos!

and this is just the first 30 pages!

Go originality!
