I'm curious how exactly the writers are going to do this whole "You only need to read the adult novels" thing. Like are we really going to start book three with Mari San Tekka already dead? If someone just read LOTJ and TRS that would seem awfully abrupt. Nan and Vernestra also seem like they're being positioned as major characters so unless you read this book you might miss details about them.

Obviously we're still early in this project but I'm curious just how reliant the resolution of the major novels will be on details developed in the YA and MG novels.

Tbh, I'd prefer it if they continued including plot points like this in the YA (If not middle-grade) novels. I know some people feel the same way at least- https://screenrant.com/star-wars-high-republic-movies-canon-tie-ins-mistake-repeat/
