Status Updates From Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost

Sometimes I wish these Star Wars writers weren't afraid of the characters *feelings.* This novel would be so much more engaging with fewer bouts of 'pew-pew' and more emotional introspection and dialogue between characters.

Jeez, can we get this painting already? With all of this fuss, Leia's mom better have been the one to actually paint it!

Low key bothers me how these books explore Leia's feelings about her "father" but never bother to delve into any curiosity about who her mother was. I love Padme. She is interesting and worth discovering.
