Star Wars: Battlefront: Twilight Company
The Rebellion from the mud upward, with no Jedi anywhere near it.
Published in November 2015 alongside the Battlefront game, Alexander Freed’s novel follows an ordinary Rebel infantry company through a losing campaign. There are no lightsabers and almost no famous names; it is the closest the canon line has come to straight war fiction.
