THE MOST UNDERRATED STAR WARS NOVEL IN THE CANON? Force Collector is this week’s focus; Mike gives his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel and why he thinks few people have heard much about it. He then talks about the era & themes within the book, before giving a spoiler warning where he gives his full thoughts on the book’s plot & characters – Mike also provides a plot overview for anyone who may not have time to read this but wants to know what the book is about, although he doesn’t reveal all, as he wants as many people to pick it up as possible!
Force Collector was written by Kevin Shinick and was released as part of the Journey To The Rise Of Skywalker on October 4th 2019. The book is set just before The Force Awakens (31-32 ABY).
