I doubt a Mando Jedi would give his weapon so easy. But this just goes more to show how Disney doesn't focus on the stuff they should. A Mandalorian jedi from The Old Republic is ripe for stories.
True, despite that I feel there's way too much focus on Mandos, but give the people what they want. I guess giving up his weapon would have to boil down to whether or not he respected the Order enough to obey their wishes versus the Mando Way. I would love to know how then Shae even knows about the the saber, and whether or not she became part of a more zealous sect of Mando's (like the Children of the Watch) that demand that all Mandalorian artifacts return home. I mean there is a lot of interesting history that could be being explored instead of the Rat's boring stories. Like how the Taung of Coruscant were the original Mandalorians. Or like the story of Cassus Fett. You could actually do a series that focused on different major chapters of Mando history each season, even go through various iterations of Mand'alor. I'd watch that series.

Just got several Star Wars books from my brother including Heir to the Empire trilogy and the first Darth Bane book. I'm looking forward to going through those hopefully sooner than later.

Path of Destruction is awesome. It dives hard into the dark side, but really tells the story why Darth Bane is the GOAT. Also why he is the Sith Ari. I've heard nothing but good things about Heir to the Empire. Still on my "to read" list.

The Darth Bane trilogy remains my favorite SW story by far . I recently did the audio book versions of Heir to the Empijre and highly recommend it. I might need to do the same with the Bane Trilogy!

I really need to dedicate more time to Star Wars novels. I read a lot, but not much Star Wars.

I need to get back to reading more. Plus, reading the EU is how we keep the lore alive. Sidenote: I completely forgot to mention, reading the Bane trilogy is how Kath and I settled on the name of our daughter.

I read Master and Apprentice by Claudia gray. It's Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi 8 years before Episode 1. This was a great book and in my opinion and it would have made a good movie as well. MTFBWY

I would love that, but I am a horribly slow reader, and I wouldn't be able to focus enough to an audiobook.

Le'see, I have:
Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter Cloak of Deception {this one may have disappeared} A New Hope (novelization) Deceived Revan Lost Tribe of the Sith Path of Destruction \ Rule of Two }- (Darth Bane trilogy) Dynasty of Evil / OutCast (Fate of the Jedi)
I had a copy of Darth Plagueis, but it got destroyed.
I may have to save up to buy more books. Life on a budget sucks.

Good idea. 1/month at most. maybe 1/quarter? That way everyone would have time? I've got a ton to read. if you're short on time, not wanting to physically read or even have a hard time reading, I love the audiobooks and recommend them highly . you can even gedt them on an app from your ocal libraryand not pay if you have a library card…just saying
I do a ton of audiobooks. My library doesn't have many Star Wars audiobooks though. Some "canon" ones, but not many EU. I'm not going to try to list all the ones I own. Maybe I'll take a picture some time.
