If your family is counting down to the new Star Wars movie, we recommend Daniel Coldstar #1: The Relic War by Stel Pavlou. This intergalactic sci-fi adventure is guaranteed to capture the attention of Jedis everywhere. Here are 5 reasons why your Star Wars fan will love Daniel Coldstar #1: The Relic War!

1. Humble beginnings

Like both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, Daniel Coldstar might be destined for an epic adventure, but he doesn’t start anywhere special. As an orphan, Daniel is abducted during the night by the Overseers who wipe his mind of memories and enslave him in the mines of a forgotten planet. There, he searches the ruins for relics from a lost alien civilization and lives in fear of his masters. Like Anakin, Daniel longs to escape his fate and when he unearths a relic more powerful than anything ever before, he’s set on a path that will change the galaxy forever.

2. Friendships that withstand all obstacles

Each Star Wars arc comes with its own unique friendship trio. From Luke, Leia, and Han to Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé, and now Rey, Finn, and Poe, these trios show the incredible power of friendship and the disastrous results that occur when they turn against one another. In the mines, Daniel works with several other boys who become his closest friends. Together, they protect one another and work together to escape captivity.

3. Defend the galaxy

In Star Wars, there is an eternal power struggle between the Sith and the Jedi, and both Anakin and Luke are destined to influence that balance and therefore, the fate of the world. When Daniel realizes that an evil Sinja seeks the relic to control the universe, it’s up to him to restore the balance of good and evil and protect the galaxy from becoming enslaved. The journey will require discipline, trust in his friends, and sacrifice, but it’s his destiny to set things right.

4. An imaginative new world

The galaxy in Star Wars is a collage of planets of varied people, species, cultures, and environments. From Tatooine to Alderaan to the desert world of Jakku, Star Wars takes us to new and exciting places beyond our world. Daniel Coldstar does this too! From the ruins of a forgotten planet, to the perilous void that is outer space, to planets outside our solar system, the imaginative possibilities are endless!

5. An evil that must be stopped…no matter what the cost.

The Sith is an evil force that threatens the entire Universe in Star Wars. In The Relic War, Daniel escapes the mines of the Overseers only to realize that an evil Sinja is after the relic, and if he gets it he’ll use it to control the universe. Now, to protect not only himself and his friends, but the entire universe, Daniel Coldstar will do whatever it takes to keep the relic from falling into the wrong hands.
