Sign in for personalised guidanceHow the book presents it: The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
Talk about: What signs, if any, would help the characters decide whether Luke can still be trusted?
Talk about: How do Han and Leia balance their responsibilities to one another with the wider struggle?
The story combines large-scale warfare with danger directed at a family and the possibility of conflict between close allies. That mix may suit readers drawn to both action and personal loyalty dilemmas.
The plot includes attacks on entire planets, a price placed on Han and Leia’s heads, and danger to their unborn child. Consider whether these threats are comfortable topics for your reader.
If someone close to you seemed to become a threat, what would you want to know before deciding whether to trust them?
Read together if useful, pausing when the planetary attacks or threats to the family arise. Invite your reader to describe what the images and story make clear, and what remains uncertain.
