Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company Is a ‘Banger’ Spin-Off

The cool thing about being around in 2025, and seemingly one of the only things in our global hellscape of impending doom, is that there are more ways than ever to consume delicious Star Wars lore.

Whether you're interested in the High Republic era, or you're more of a fan of the original trilogy when the Empire was at its most dangerous, there's a little something out there for everyone and the franchise has grown so far beyond just a few (admittedly very successful) movies.

In recent times, one of the very best ways of consuming Star Wars content has been via the novels, which cover a ton of characters and events from throughout the history of the galaxy far, far away and beyond.

Those even include direct spin-offs of the Battlefront games, which themselves are solid efforts at replicating big Star Wars battles, as long you're happy to ignore the microtransaction screens.

Over on Reddit, one user asked the community whether they believed that Star Wars: Battlefront - Twilight Company was worth reading, and the result was a resounding yes from all of those who have read it so far.

"Absolutely. It's a very down to earth, gritty war story in a Star Wars universe. Alexander Freed is great in writing soldiers," one comment read.

"Yes. One of my all time favourites. Freed has a particular style - if it clicks with you (like me) it CLICKS. Twilight Company, Alphabet Squadron trilogy, Rogue One novel, Mask of Fear - all fantastic SW novels," another added, praising the author.

A third chimed in, saying, "Personally, it’s one of my favourite of the Disney universe books. If you like the grounded war elements of SW, this one should be up your alley."

"Extremely underrated! Been listening to the audiobook and its starting to become one my favourites so far. Surprisingly dark and 'grounded' even if it's Star Wars so if you like Andor and Rogue One I'm sure you’ll enjoy this," another confirmed.

"Freed only writes bangers in my experience," one comment stated.

The story itself follows the titular Twilight Company as they take part in the Galactic Civil War. They are a renegade and battle-hardened outfit who are forced into a tactical retreat that they want no part in. From there, the story quickly unfolds into one of bravery and grit that should appeal to most existing Star Wars fans.

It's also available now, so if it does sound appealing, what are you waiting for?
