This book would be better if the main character wasn't so dumb.

SPOILERS:
So the grand plan of a company is to find a droid that was made by a predecessor company a few years ago (that they have all the records from) and this years old droid will be valuable and smart enough for them to pioneer in their industry? They have the records, just remake the damn thing.

Heavily relying on already seen scenes from the original trilogy for any sort of impact without introducing new ideas or anything of significance to build new lore or character development. I'm unimpressed.

This book is not very good so far. Subplots are boring and interesting, portrayal of the royal guard and other groups is inconsistent with the rest of the star wars universe, and the main character (who is not Darth Vader despite the cover art) is uninteresting and unrelatable.
