Featured Article: Bright Suns! On Star Wars, Fandom, and a Trip to the Galaxy's Edge


There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

I love the Star Wars legend novels and there are some great stories but abridging the books takes away so much! really would love an unabridged version!!

Really good but I wish it wasn't abridged!

The audiobook has a lot of sound effects that provides emerssive storytelling, but doesnt get overbearing imo. Light reading, something that doesn't go extremely deep into the lore or explores any deep lore. Still a fun listen.

Fun Adventure with classic SW storytelling
