Love all the Detroit references and also the casual The Rise of Skywalker hatred.

I'm optimistic about the Rey movie, even though the books have programmed my brain to expect the New Jedi Order to mean Luke training new Jedi. I wonder if we'll get the Vong??

Solid top 10 books list. I personally would've put Claudia Gray's Lost Stars somewhere in the top 5, but I can settle for her having 2 of the top 10 spots.

One of my projects for next year is to read/review the NJO series. I think I have all the books.

I do think we'll see the Vong or something similar eventually. You can only have authoritarian dictatorships and the Sith as bad guys so many teams. It's been a while since I've read the new Thrawn books that are canon, but I'm pretty sure there's a Vong-like race of aliens as the bad guys.

I liked the Rise of Skywalker. (Ducks)

Shun the nonbeliever!

I actually have thought lately about giving it a rewatch, since clearly it's living rent free in my head. I read the novelization this fall which made a few improvements. Maybe there's a Snyder cut of Rise of Skywalker that fixes some mistakes.
