So stoked to get to explore Dathomir in Fallen Order! It’s sort of surreal, though, because my introduction to Dathomir and the Nightsisters wasn’t the Clone Wars series. It was this:
This was my favorite of the EU books as a teen largely because it focused on Han and Leia’s relationship (my very first OTP) and also because it featured a planet of matriarchal, force-wielding, badass ladies. And Han won an entire planet in a card game. (Yes, the planet in question was Dathomir.)
There are some significant differences between book Dathomir and what has since become canon. First, it wasn’t just the Nightsisters on Dathomir - there were clans of Dathomir women whose force magic tapped into the light side, who were also matriarchal. Both sides were interrelated - it was an ideological divide. Second, using the Nightsisters’ type of dark side magic caused visible, physical damage (bruising). (Over all, it was an interesting concept, but some of the writing hasn’t aged well. It was progressive for when it was published in 1994 - not so much by today’s standards.)
Honestly, I like what they’ve done with the Nightsisters since the book for the most part (I do miss the balance of not having the planet be 100% dark siders), but there is one thing that got left out that always disappoints me: In the book, rancors are native to Dathomir (that’s why there’s one on the book cover). And all those badass, force-wielding ladies? They rode rancors. They kept them as massive, lethal pets. It was the best thing ever.
I was hoping that maybe - just maybe - Fallen Order might throw in a rancor somewhere to fight. Or even just seen shambling in the distance. But no dice.
Le sad.
Merrin deserves a terrifying rancor to ride in style.
