Star Wars Visions: Ronin

A Visions Novel (Inspired by The Duel)

De: Emma Mieko Candon

Narrado por: Joel de la Fuente

National best seller

A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale, an original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology.

The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire.

Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith.

The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire...but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.

Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side.

As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.

I think I enjoyed it

First of all, I really enjoyed the non-canon alternate universe created by this story. The Jedi/Sith dynamic feels more authentic and fleshed out than the canon one. I enjoyed the story, for the most part, but a lot of it happens in conversations so it was hard to remember what was happening or where the characters were sometimes. The performance was great save for those awkward chapter transitions that often killed the momentum or mood.

Great novel, just one thing

they really shouldn't use previously existing Star Wars music for these. Keeps ripping you out of this story and reminding you of the movies the tracks are from.

decent

there are a lot better Star wars books out there however this was still a decent read and worth the time

Star Wars: The way Kirusawa would have done it!

A fantastic continuation of the Duel that we were introduced to in 'Star Wars: Visions, The Duel'. I really hope that we get to see more of the Ronin and his 'family' of companions, especially B5-56.

It won’t play

I literally can’t listen past a certain point. no matter what i do. Only got to the second chapter. Really quite upsetting.

Meh storyline

I was excited but as it went on it was a struggle to wanna finish.

great story and world building, terrible action

most of this book is amazing and the narrator did a great job. but the big shortcoming of this book is that the action sequences and duels are pretty much all just glossed over. that took away from my enjoyment somewhat but everything else was great.

Awesome

Very good! I loved the story overall but the reader could have done a better jobs. Great book 10/10

1st SW book I couldn't finish

I REALLY wanted to enjoy this. I was hyped to find it as I loved the animated series, but this title is borked by Disney's identity first politics and them trying way too hard to use genderless pronouns at every turn. The end result just made the storytelling confusing and clunky as it became impossible to differentiate which "they" was being referred to...in a fight scene... The pacing slow. I got a little more than halfway through and that took months of trying. Audible deciding to restart my progress for trying to cast to a non Amazon speaker was the nail in the coffin for this one. And the app still doing this garbage after years has me questioning staying.

Awesome!!!

I loved every second !!!! Took me on a wild ride through the galaxy !! What a trip!!
