Rose was a maintenance worker on the Rebel flagship when she is introduced but her story didn\u2019t start there. According to the book Rose Tico Resistance Fighter by Jason Fry, Rose came from a mining colony before becoming a member of the Rebel Alliance. This book adds depth to the character we saw on the screen.<\/span><\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: \"Times New Roman\",\"serif\"; font-size: 12.5pt;'><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Written in the style of a personal diary, Resistance Fighter gives more insight to the feisty maintenance worker who once lived in the shadow of her sister; a ball-turret gunner on a Rebel bomber. This book contains fold-outs and schematics which are sure to appeal to Star Wars fans of all ages. This 112 page book is intended for ages 8-12 years (grades 3-7).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: \"Times New Roman\",\"serif\"; font-size: 12.5pt;'><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The sister book to Rose Tico Resistance Fighter is another journal style book by Jason Fry. Bomber Command is about Rose\u2019s sister Paige who is a ball-turret gunner on a MG-100 StarFortress. This book tells Paige\u2019s story and for me it is a much more interesting read. I have always had a fascination with World War II so I was drawn more into Paige\u2019s backstory than that of Rose. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-18586 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18588'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8383-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18589'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8385-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18590'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8386-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18591'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8387-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18592'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8389-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18593'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8390-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18594'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8391-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18595'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8397-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18597'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8400-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18598'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8401-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=18599'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSCN8402-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: \"Times New Roman\",\"serif\"; font-size: 12.5pt;'><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Bomber Command also has fold-outs including bomber schematics, which I appreciated.
