For light and life! Journey to the embattled Occlusion Zone in this action-packed adventure set hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga! It’s a dark and dangerous time for the galaxy in which communication has been rendered nearly impossible in Nihil-controlled space as the nefarious pirates continue to threaten the Republic’s very existence.

Pronouns over story
A young reader book aimed at 8-12 year olds, but with a forced agenda.
A story centred on a group of young Jedi aged around 10-12.. One turns out to be a Trans girl, and the other 2 Gay and in love with each. Plus a 4th joins them who is non-binary. What are the odds of that? And is this really appropriate when the book is aimed at 8 year olds?
It also makes no sense since Jedi are taught to block emotion from a very early age. You wouldn't have trans Jedi because gender identity would not be a thing if you removed all emotion.
And the character Zyle Keem being Zabrak is the most unlikely candidate to be non-binary if you know anything about their species.
It all just felt like a forced agenda pushed by the authors and/or Disney onto this book. And not appropriate for the age this book is aimed at.
it also made the book a bit confusing when it's taking about a group of people. Sometimes referring to one as he/she and then another as they/them. Using terms that are normally used to mean a group of people as a pronoun doesn't work in a book conversation happening between a group of characters as you could equally be referring to them as a collective.
Disappointing.
