This week on Book Wars Pod, we dive into the High Republic era with Charles Soule’s LIGHT OF THE JEDI. “When and where are we?” suddenly has a radically different answer than usual, but some of our hosts are skeptical of the time gap. We also discuss the strength of the Force – and by […]

This week on Book Wars Pod, we conclude our analysis of and sh*tposting about THRAWN ASCENDANCY: CHAOS RISING. Are the Chiss particularly advanced? How has this book changed what we know about Thrawn? How the hell does sky walking work? We attempt (keyword: attempt) to answer these questions and more. The organization we’re highlighting for […]

This week on Book Wars Pod, we dive into the final chapters of THRAWN ASCENDANCY: CHAOS RISING. Our discussion includes Thrawn’s meeting with Anakin, Ar’alani’s role, and whoever the f*ck Jixtus is.

This week we continue our long-delayed discussion of THRAWN ASCENDANCY: CHAOS RISING. We talk about the politics of the Chiss Ascendancy, why Thurfian and Zistalmu hate Thrawn so much, and whether Thrawn and Ar’alani should bone. The organization we’re highlighting for this group of episodes is the Texas Equal Access Fund. If you have the […]

The organization we’re highlighting for this group of episodes […]

This week’s episode marks the conclusion of our coverage of FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. In this wrap-up we discuss whether this book has this changed our enjoyment of the film, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, what did (and didn’t) work for us as snobby readers, and which authors we want […]

The crew reads the rest of FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, discussing stories from Brittany N.
