The story of Thane Kyrell and Cienna Ree is the best canonical romance in all of Star Wars, you can't change my mind

Dear Lucasfilm/Disney,
May I PLEASE have a book on Sinjir Rath Valus' time as an Imperial? And a sequel to Lost Stars? And a sequel to Bloodline focusing on Senator Ransom Casterfo so that I know that my baby is safe, PLEASE??
That is ALL I ask for.
I mean, I would take an Obi-Wan and Satine musical moulin rouge style but I realise that's a long shot.

Scattered Star Wars animation + novels thoughts: - I know a lot of people are wary about the Resistance animation style--it’s not my first choice, either--but I’ve seen it often enough in video games and other animated shows that I know it can be used to really good effect.  And I’m really willing to roll with a lot for good, fun characters and stories--and I’m really delighted to see how much of a diverse cast there was! It reminds me that Star Wars really is getting better about casting diverse characters--both in more human ways and in getting more aliens in there!--and I’m glad to see it, because a lot of the darker skinned characters are WONDERFUL, but they tend to be in novels where it’s less cemented into the audiences’ minds.  Rebels was a great step forward and I’m really looking forward to Resistance hopefully continuing that! This has been on my mind, because I wanted to a “women of color” photoset and realized there are characters like Kaeden Larte or Lula from Canto Bight that are dark-skinned, but I don’t have any pictures to use.  Cienna Ree has some official art + the manga, Vi Moradi has a couple of official art pieces, Sana Starros is in the comics, etc.  Not animated/live action ones necessarily, but I could still have enough characters to make a full photoset, I think?  Maybe?  Except so many of them DON’T HAVE OFFICIAL ART, SO IT’S HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHO TO ADD (in addition to the animated/live action ones).  And MAYBE NOW I CAN DO IT WITH RESISTANCE GIVING US MORE?  :D - I finished Canto Bight and the final story was perfectly fine.  It wasn’t quite as charming as the first one (about the Wermal Salesbeing Of The Year character) and it didn’t quite hit me in the feelings place as much as the third one (about the Dor Namethian masseur who got wrapped up in criminal activity to save his human daughter), but it had some cute moments.  It had a lot of moments of, “oh my god these people are obnoxious!” but I’m pretty sure they were meant to be? And I think that’s the thing about the whole book, that place is awful and not somewhere I even want to visit, just like I never want to visit the more obnoxious places of Las Vegas.  So I’m really glad I got a chance to listen to it, rather than read it, because I never would have finished it otherwise.  That’s no knock on the writers, they were writing exactly what they were supposed to be writing!  But they’re obviously oneshot characters and thus I’ll have no reason to get emotionally invested in them, the only familiar “character” is Canto Bight itself and that place is horrible--both morally and just to slog through stories about it! I’m not quite sure who this book was meant to be for--are there people who really enjoyed the book?  (Genuine question!)  It seems like the Canto Bight was some of the most hated of/disinterested in TLJ stuff? Oh, one final thought:  Look, they’re not bad or anything, but fathiers are not well designed enough to have all that hoopla about them.  They’re basically rabbit horses.  Or maybe goat giraffes?  They’re not that intricate or interesting, they’re not that visually appealing or beautiful, frankly, the only creatures I felt were worth the OMG THEY’RE THE MOST AMAZING CREATURES IN THE GALAXY were the vulptices from Crait. Those were gorgeous!  Listen, the porgs are ADORABLE but they are very clearly animatronic robots and you’re going to have to do better than that to pull me away from the established creatures of the GFFA, like call me back when you have something as awesome as a Tooka or a Convor or as terrifying as a Nexu or as nightmare fuel-esque as a Dianoga or as awesome as a Varactyl! - I started Lost Stars and I’m only about half an hour into the audiobook version and I’m still hung up on Cienna’s name, how is it “Cye-enna” and NOT “See-enna”??  It’ll be interesting to see how she goes from such a loving family to the Empire (though, I’m less invested in Thane’s journey, but maybe I’ll come to like him?), to see if this book accomplishes what I think is a VERY uphill battle:  Showing the point of view of a good person joining the Empire and NOT having it eventually be a defection story. Rae Sloane is another character that I’m interested in this for, but I don’t recall much of how she sees the Empire or why she wants to keep going with it or why she joined, only that she’s loyal to it, despite seeing the flaws in the people in it, in the first Aftermath book. I guess what I’m looking for is partly that--how you can join such an oppressive regime and still be a moral person--but also partly an answer to the question, “Why is an Empire better than a democratic process?” from these characters.

The character is modeled after South Asian actress Janina Gavankar but fanboys on Wookieepedia insist her skin color is “fair.”
Wookieepedia also lists other characters of color as  "fair" (Saetele Shan), "light" (Poe Dameron), "tan" (Doctor Aphra, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Sabine Wren) or "dark" (Lando Calrissian, Finn, Cienna Ree) or "orange" (Maz Kanata). At some point Ezra Bridger's skin color was "copper", at other times his skin tone has been removed, Sabine Wren's skin color was initially "light" but later Is changed to "tan" (did she go to a tanning salon?  Tan is not a freaking skin tone.  At least it’s better than when a Star Wars book published in the 2010s described a character as “yellow skinned.”) The Rogue One team is comprised of a lot of "tan" people-- Chirrut Imwe, Baze Malbus, Bodhi Rook and "light" people--Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. But I'd argue that these groupings don't necessarily fit? For example, the first three do not have the same skin tone. Lando, Finn, and Cienna Ree also have super different skin tones, too.
But “fair,” really?

going on the sw amino is continually wild because they seem to have their own culture over there
I saw a theory that Thane Kyrell and Cienna Ree are Rey’s parents (very unlikely as Cienna is black and Rey is white)
and from another person, 5bro as the most overrated character? I have no idea what planet they’re on, but when I was looking for valentine material a few months ago, most of what I found was literally either mocking him for his irrelevance to the series or making fun of him (aside from the interview with his voice actor). please person. tell me where you’re getting that he’s overrated. what kind of content do you have access to.
also someone took a picture from hogwartshousequotes on here (I literally recognized the background the moment I saw it) for a Thrawn quote
