    Episode Notes Hello there! Welcome back. This episode, we quit while we were ahead and moved on from X-Wing! We might read more someday but I'm gonna be honest the podcast was dying.

    Episode Notes Hello there! Welcome back. This episode, we're met with an impossible task: retake Coruscant, stay undercover, and remember the names of the characters in the book. Thankfully, we have the wiki to help with that. This book is also really concerned with things like whether or not it's okay to have a crush on an alien or how effective fascist propaganda is.
