I always enjoy these High Republic pictures books for how they can simplify the (in this case - truly traumatic) events of the adult and ya books in a very attention grabbing and emotional way for younger readers。 Paired with the fantastic art and fun sound effects in Hoopla Read-a-long version, what's not to love!

Having just finished "The Fallen Star", I was curious as to how they would try to cover the events of this sad and tragic novel。 First, they do not cover any of the deaths, which is good。 Second, they don't talk about the beast that floods them all with dread and blocks them from the Force。 They do however have a few benefits to reading these (as an adult fan) that I'd like to point out here。 1) Starlight Beacon is towed to Eiram by a bunch of ships assisting the Galactic Starcruiser Halcyon。 Ha Having just finished "The Fallen Star", I was curious as to how they would try to cover the events of this sad and tragic novel。 First, they do not cover any of the deaths, which is good。 Second, they don't talk about the beast that floods them all with dread and blocks them from the Force。 They do however have a few benefits to reading these (as an adult fan) that I'd like to point out here。 1) Starlight Beacon is towed to Eiram by a bunch of ships assisting the Galactic Starcruiser Halcyon。 Halcyon is the new 'cruise ship' experience that Disney is advertising。 While I'm not sure exactly how I feel about all the recent connections they are establishing with it, I do like that they are trying to make it a known ship。2) A change was made from "The Fallen Star"。 They had the two halves of Starlight fall at the same time, which makes sense for a kids book, adding to the simplicity, and also focusing the tragedy on having people on the planet not get hurt。3) I do like that they show that Burryaga is missing at the end。 If you are telling kids that he's "missing" and not "gone", then there is a good chance he's still alive。 (Which I was worried about。)4) The illustrations in this book are wonderful, and I would encourage adult reading of these books simply to further cement the look of these characters in your mind。 All the High Republic books should be read。 They have done really well with their linking and synergy。 Recommend。NOTE: Did I write more words in this review then the book had in it? LOL 。。。more

The Battle for Starlight is a child friendly version of the fate of Starlight Beacon in The Fallen Star。 Great illustrations, an easy but doesn't sit right as a stand alone book as what is depicted in it may cause confusion for a kid。 I'll be honest and say I unfortunately got my turn from the library with this and still haven't had my turn with The Fallen Star (yay poorness!) So I got to learn about this in a kids book 😣 Really looking forward to finally getting my hands on The Fallen Star to g The Battle for Starlight is a child friendly version of the fate of Starlight Beacon in The Fallen Star。 Great illustrations, an easy but doesn't sit right as a stand alone book as what is depicted in it may cause confusion for a kid。 I'll be honest and say I unfortunately got my turn from the library with this and still haven't had my turn with The Fallen Star (yay poorness!)

This has made me look forward to The Fallen Star, of which I'm waiting for the paperback that comes out in September。 It tells the story simply enough without spoiling too much or going into the obvious deeper machinations going on in the background。 This has made me look forward to The Fallen Star, of which I'm waiting for the paperback that comes out in September。 It tells the story simply enough without spoiling too much or going into the obvious deeper machinations going on in the background。 。。。more

I love that there are read-along versions on Hoopla, that made these a lot more fun。

As a companion art book to The Fallen Star, this is amazing。 As a standalone children's book, this does not work。 The story is much to jumpy to be understood on its own, and it introduces characters concepts and events that make a single appearance。I loved the art, it definitely gave TFS that extra oomph, but this book will only confuse young children。 As a companion art book to The Fallen Star, this is amazing。 As a standalone children's book, this does not work。 The story is much to jumpy to be understood on its own, and it introduces characters concepts and events that make a single appearance。I loved the art, it definitely gave TFS that extra oomph, but this book will only confuse young children。 。。。more

Burryaga has been at the center of every one of these books retelling the events of the three major adult novels。 This one tells all the pertinent facts without the intensity of some of the scenes in the novels。 I also really loved all the stickers in this and the previous books。

A very quick recap of the events from THE FALLEN STAR, this children's book does a fairly good job of creating the sense of urgency from that novel, while keeping it at a level that kids will be able to appreciate and understand。 A very quick recap of the events from THE FALLEN STAR, this children's book does a fairly good job of creating the sense of urgency from that novel, while keeping it at a level that kids will be able to appreciate and understand。 。。。more

Idk why I thought reading this in picture book form would make it hurt any less…but the art was really cute。 Bell and Burry are adorable in animated form 😭

tBattle for Starlight is the Children's book for wave 3 of Phase I。 George Mann, the writer of the previous children's book for wave 2, is back in the writer's chair for this book。 tFor reader's who have not captured the gist of these children books for each wave, it basically turns the adult novel into a more kid friendly version。 I truly admire the task that each of these writers are forced to tackle, due to the countless amount of deaths that occur in a normal adult body。 tI feel like a poor tBattle for Starlight is the Children's book for wave 3 of Phase I。 George Mann, the writer of the previous children's book for wave 2, is back in the writer's chair for this book。 tFor reader's who have not captured the gist of these children books for each wave, it basically turns the adult novel into a more kid friendly version。 I truly admire the task that each of these writers are forced to tackle, due to the countless amount of deaths that occur in a normal adult body。 tI feel like a poor reviewer for a book like this。 This book to me is good, not great, but then again, I am not sure if I am ever going to be able to call a kid's book like this great, especially when I have read the adult novel's truer version of events。 The writing by George Mann is pretty good。 For most the book, we follow Burryaga, as continues the trend of previous children books for each wave, and also Bell Zettifar which was nice for a change。 Adult readers will wonder how the kids version of events deal with the ominous future of Burryaga, and it deals with it in the only way a kid's book can, with hope。 It is a lot more hopeful tone than the one gotten in the adult novel obviously。 tNow, as can be expect with a book like this, the art is absolutely gorgeous, as continues the trend with previous books。 Starlight is illuminated in the bright colors, and the characters are truly well drawn。 Small pet peeve, but I would like to know why Elzar Mann is in his temple robes and Stellan Gios(dare I say Marshall Stellan Gios) in his more casual robes。 All kidding aside, I loved how we actually got some Elzar art, who got snubbed in the previous two children books。 tAgain though, I am not the target audience here, so I am probably a poor reviewer for such a book。 With that being said, I enjoyed this book, even for just the art and the way it was able to handle such horrific events。 I'm excited to see George fully join the team for phase II, and most excited to see what he shall create。 。。。more
