Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire Outpost

To prepare for our trip to Disneyland at the end of this month, I listened to Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire written by Delilah S. Dawson and read by January LaVoy. They released the original edition in the Summer of 2019, when Disney opened up the new Star Wars lands at Disneyland and Disney World. It had to accomplish two goals: generate hype about Galaxy’s Edge and introduce a never explored corner of the Star Wars Galaxy.Dawson does a spectacular job in achieving these goals without making it feel like a cheap marketing tool. Set soon after the events of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire Outpost tells the tale of Vi Moradi, a Resistance Spy and her mission to build a new base on the Outer Rim planet of Batuu.
