A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning.Emperor Palpatine For a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights brought peace and order to the Galactic Republic, aided by their connection to the mystical energy field known as the Force. But they were betrayedand the entire galaxy has paid the price. It is the Age of the Empire. Now Emperor Palpatine, once Chancellor of the Republic and secretly a Sith follower of the dark side of the Force, has brought his own peace and order to the galaxy. Peace through brutal repression, and order through increasing control of his subjects lives. But even as the Emperor tightens his iron grip, others have begun to question his means and motives. And still others, whose lives were destroyed by Palpatines machinations, lay scattered about the galaxy like unexploded bombs, waiting to go off. . . . The first Star Wars novel created in collaboration with the Lucasfilm Story Group, Star Wars: A New Dawn is set during the legendary Dark Times between Episodes III and IV and tells the story of how two of the lead characters from the animated series Star Wars Rebels first came to cross paths. Featuring a foreword by Dave Filoni. Praise for A New Dawn A New Dawn is a fine start to the new Expanded Universe. [John Jackson] Miller steps confidently into the unexplored territory and owns it; hes crafted a story with pacing and dialogue that feels like classic Star Wars.Nerdist An entertaining adventure . . . with a cast of heroes that mixes laughter with intriguing depths of character. . . . John Jackson Miller packs in plenty of action and surprises.Roqoo Depot A confidently told story that gives fans a lot of reason to be hopeful about whats to come as we move into this new phase of Star Wars . . . The book certainly got me even more excited for Rebels and to see more of Kanan and Heras adventures. Were also introduced to other characters I would love to see again at some point, whether on Rebels, in another book or, who knows, in live-action at some point.IGN A New Dawn delivers a classic Star Wars experience that fans of all ages will be able to enjoy. It is extremely well-written, with an incredibly diverse cast too. Millers prose can easily suck readers in, and leave them speechless when 100 pages have flown by in the blink of an eye.Far Far Away Radio A New Dawn brings us into this new dawn of storytelling with energy, excitement, and characters that have become instantly ensconced into the Star Wars vernacular, and the results will satisfy Star Wars fans of many different palates.Coffee with Kenobi A New Dawn is a well-written novel full of intrigue and twists and turns that does an excellent job of letting Star Wars fans get to know Kanan and Hera.Tosche Station A New Dawn finds an era never before written about in the Star Wars universethe years prior to the original movie, Episode IVin robust good health. The narrative takes place on two worlds and a handful of ships in between them, but as with the best of all Star Wars moments, hints at hidden depths beyond.Mashable From the Paperback edition.

18/150 I've never watched any of the Rebels animated series, so Kanan and Hera were totally new characters to me. I like the story, set just after Revenge of the Sith, the Empire is still new and expanding. It was refreshing to read about characters not in the movies for a change, but they're still interesting enough that you want to know more. 4 💥💥💥💥

HollyBolly Now to watch Rebels! It is my favorite of all the Star Wars shows/movies. 2y
Andrew65 Fantastic 👏👏👏 2y
RamsFan1963 @HollyBolly I've heard from several other Star Wars fans how good the show is, I'm going to have to hunt it down on DVD or subscribe to Disney + 2y
lauraisntwilder So jealous of you for getting to watch Rebels for the first time now! It's so, so good. 2y

I finished my latest #audiobook featuring Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla! Love it 😍 A great story of how he and she met before we see them in the animated Rebels show! Glad to hear the Dave Filoni was consulted for the script.

As March comes to a close, we are wrapping up A New Dawn and heading out with Cobalt Squadron!

How‘d everyone enjoy A New Dawn? Being a fan of the Star Wars Rebels series, I really enjoyed seeing how these two met and I‘d definitely read more books about them. 😉

As always, and now more than ever...May the Force Be With You All.

This book is exactly what I'm expecting from a Star Wars novel. Different characters, different views, fights with words and swords, a fast pacing story and a deeper meaning. Yes, I really enjoyed this book, it was a lot of fun to read.

My first finished book of 2020, A New Dawn seems appropriate really for a new decade. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, but in fairness I also enjoyed Star Wars Rebels the series, so seeing the backstory of how these 2 met and learned to trust each other enough to become a team was so much fun. I could definitely read more stories about the 2 of them.

My last book of 2019 was Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach

My first was A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller.... not sure if it will be my first finished, I have 2 reads going at the same time, but it‘s the first one I picked up and read part of in 2020.

A great start to the Star Wars reboot!
The flirty space cowboy that is Kanan reminded me of Han, the OG space cowboy.
Moving on to Tarkin!

As part of my countdown hype to The Last Jedi, I'm catching up on back episodes of all my Star Wars podcasts. Listening to all the book breakdowns just makes me want to reread them all immediately!

annkuch13 @lycomayflower My favorite is Full of Sith. Tosche Station is really good. @awishman is starting one called Podme! There's Lattes with Leia under the Coffe with Kenobi group. Fangirls Going Rogue. Beltway Banthas. Any other recs, @awishman ? 7y

Finishing A New Dawn has compelled me to read the Kanan comics during lunch. What can I say, I just love Rebels.
A small amount of progress in catching up on the Star Wars literary world.

I really wanted more background on fugitive Jedi Kanan Jarrus, my favorite character from the Star Wars: Rebels TV series, so I was excited to find this book. In A New Dawn, Kanan has pretty much turned away from his Jedi past in order to survive after the Emperor destroys the Jedi Order. I liked the parallels between Kanan's character and everybody's favorite intergalactic smuggler, Han Solo. ;) It was cool to see how Kanan evolves into a hero.

I enjoyed this peek at the beginning of Kanan and Hera's relationship, but there were parts where I just found myself tuning out. Definitely a fun read though.

It's a little beat up after an unfortunate incident involving my iPad going into my bag weird, hit I'm finding this book very interesting and even though I'm behind on Rebels, I love seeing Kanan and Hera meet. #starwars #rebels
