There are basically four kinds of stories in The Last Jedi Incredible Cross-Sections from DK Publishing:
Business stories that give you a glimpse of the work of an industry…
Thumbnail stories provided in their entirety…
Hints at brand new events never detailed previously in the canon…
And the re-introduction of elements from “Legends” (aka the old Expanded Universe)
In today’s podcast, I’m sharing example of each of those, pulled from the pages of the Incredible Cross-Sections book written by Jason Fry and illustrated by Kemp Remillard. (And thanks once again to DK Publishing for sending me a copy of the book to dissect and share with you!)
We’ll be talking about the underground customization shops tricking out the speeders on Canto Bight; Admiral Ackbar’s connection to Admiral Raddus, whom we met in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story; the newly-hinted-at story of a battle off the Chasidron Shoals; the Legends-linked Virgillian Free Alignment and Vice Admiral Holdo’s connection to Virgillia; and a reference that harkens all the way back to the beloved Han Solo and the Lost Legacy.
