I thought the implication, at least in the OT days, was that anyone has the potential to become force sensitive since the force is basically the thing that connects all life? It's just about whether they choose to hone their dormant skills. Maybe I'm wrong though, I've never really gone far in the EU! Anyway, not sure what to think about Chewbacca having a life debt to Han. It kinda takes away the fun of their friendship by adding an obligation, or master/servant dynamic to it. I kinda saw them as partners in the movies!
Great insights and thoughts! This series sounds so good. I agree that meeting Boba Fett this early is a bit of a misstep. Do you have or plan to discuss the comics or classic rpg? I picked up the rpg reprint for my stepson a few years ago but unfortunately he wasn’t interested. I still have it sealed on the shelf and remember having a blast playing it in the 90s. I also recall someone telling me that there was a lot of world building done by the comics. So just curious about your perspective. Great review!
There is so much Star Wars media out there, many of which is out of print or extremely expensive, that it would be too much of an undertaking to include comics or other material. So I decided on just the mainline books and novelizations, with a smattering of comics that I own.
That makes sense. It seems like Han and other bounty hunters a more interesting view of the Star War universe than Jedi. That alone makes me want to read this book.

The idea of the Force and what it actually is has changed quite a bit over the years.

I love this book. Best in the trilogy.
If she had just held off on Fett, it would have been near perfect
@@FrostyKnives yeah I understand where you're coming from.
