Hey Mark and Nathan, I really enjoyed this episode about BF2. It is definitely in my top 10 SW books. You both had some cool insights and connections that I’d missed while reading.
It is obviously a spoiler, but you can’t have a book club discussion without spoiling. I only mention it as a few times towards the end you recommend people go read it, but if they hadn’t at that point, they’d already know too much. 😛
I also liked the combination of this and Rebel Rising. Refining the stormtrooper mindset as “wanting order in the galaxy” or at least not questioning the horrors is now much more believable the “they’re all evil”. So when playing as a trooper, you can understand their view of rebellion as chaos-generating terrorists.
I’m looking forward to the game to see how much of the book carries into the campaign/story mode.
