NEWS [12:35]

We discuss even more upcoming books, including The Force Awakens novelization, the two Aftermath sequels, and New Republic: Bloodline.

We also talk quite a bit about the upcoming comic series Obi Wan and Anakin.

Do we need more prequel-era stories? The kids say yes! Does everything have to tie into everything else? This kids say … not so much.

Don’t forget to go read that amazing interview with Charles Soule about Obi Wan and Anakin over at starwars.com.

Where does Boss Nass keep his peanut butter peanut butter?

QUESTION AND ANSWER COUNCIL [36:20]

1. Did Darth Vader know that the Clone Wars were orchestrated by Palpatine in order to exterminate the Jedi? Did Palpatine ever tell Vader? If not, did Vader figure it out?

2. Who is your favorite The Force Awakens character so far?

3. What is your favorite The Force Awakens planet so far?

THEORY, RE: FIRST ORDER [53:50] And finally, I drop some speculation on the origin of the First Order name. Give it a listen. I’m going to put up a post here further detailing the theory in a couple days.
