Over all, these are great books for young Star Wars fans who aren’t quite ready to jump into the young adult prose of Cobalt Squadron but want to know more about Rose and Paige. I just loved the hand-drawn look to these books!) (Speaking of which, the illustrators do a phenomenal job on everything from the propaghanda posters to the schematics and more. And while they’re two different people the style of the book and the illustrations are very similar. Many of the same topics are discussed by both characters but from different angles. Meanwhile Rose idolizes her sister and in a way wishes the same. ![]() Paige was much more confident and always talks about how she wishes Rose would know her own worth. One thing that I really appreciated about the books was how much they overlapped in ways. We largely know the story that we’re being told from Rose’s point-of-view and the best moments are the things that get added in: like Paige’s love of fathiers, Rose’s contemplation on domesticating vupltex, and the usual fold outs. She and Paige had each other and relied on each other so long that Rose is lost without her - and suddenly rushing off on some unexpected, galaxy-changing adventure.īut it’s certainly less impactful than Paige’s journal. A lot of her story is tied in to the sister she lost and while we see that in the film the journal helps us fully appreciate her loss. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the book! I think Rose’s journal really helps round her out as a character in some ways. After that, the journal turns in to your typical first person narrative of the already familiar film plot with the usual fun, kid-friendly additions. The first thirty to forty percent of the story are similar to Paige’s journal and largely focus on events just prior to The Last Jedi (or at least just before her introduction in the film). Rose Tico: Resistance Fighter was a different book all togther. I read this book as an adult so I can’t say that younger readers are going to have the same take away. Paige is an idealistic, hopeful character and in a way it makes reading her personal journal all the more tragic. It’s filled with all kinds of in-universe posters, documents, and blueprints and it gives her first-hand perspective on the way the galaxy has changed over the years. Paige’s story ends when the movie begins so the entirety of this book focuses on her life beforehand. Not only that, the story adds more to The Last Jedi canon. Reading Paige’s journal in Bomber Command really gives you an inside perspective on the character. But for younger readers not ready to tackle that tale, the first-person tie-in journals are a great alternative and offer much of the same content in an easier to read format. If you’re looking for the definitive story featuring the sisters you’ll probably want to check out Elizabeth Wein’s Cobalt Squadron. She lived on, however, in Rose and their relationship and Paige’s influence on her sister became very apparent even though it wasn’t touched on in depth.īoth of these journals do a lot to make both Paige and Rose more rounded characters. Her heroic final assault made for a dramatic scene but was ultimately overshadowed by Poe Dameron’s misguided antics. ![]() One of the most intriguing new characters in The Last Jedi (despite her minimal screen time) was Rose Tico’s sister Paige. Geared toward younger readers, the books offer a first person look at the two characters who Star Wars fans are still just now getting to know. Bomber Command and Rose Tico: Resistance Fighter are both written by Jason Fry and illustrated by the same team. Recently, I finished reading through two tie-in journals focusing on Paige and Rose Tico. With the next Star Wars film still months away we’re desperately looking for ways to keep our Star Wars-loving selves occupied. ![]()
