So fühlt sich der finale Countdown also an! Wir haben das Ende erreicht. Zumindest den Anfang vom Ende. Mit In das Licht von Claudia Gray startet die finale Welle der Hohen Republik. Nicht nur namentlich spiegelt das den einstigen Auftakt mit In die Dunkelheit wider, sondern auch inhaltlich wird ein Zirkelschluss gewagt. Dazwischen sind jedoch sehr viele Perspektivwechsel und damit oberflächliche Figurenzeichnungen versteckt, die kaum lange anhalten. Grund genug, dass Ines, Theo und Tobias genau über diesen Roman sprechen und auch identifizieren, warum weniger und dafür besser gezeichnete Figuren dem Roman gutgetan hätten. Zudem geht es um die Frage, was dieser Roman zum Gesamtprojekt so wirklich beiträgt. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wieso die Wookiees viel zu wenig Mitspracherecht erhalten und welche Implikationen das leider verursacht.

Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von In das Licht, geschrieben von Claudia Gray Der Roman erschien am 1. April 2025 unter Into the Light bei Disney Lucasfilm-Press auf Englisch Am 15. April folgte dann ein englisches Hörbuch, gesprochen von Amber Lee Connors Die deutsche Version von Panini folgt voraussichtlich am 20. Mai 2025 Die Rezensionen Ines hat das Werk nach Release rezensiert und als Hauptproblem zu viel Personal im Roman identifiziert. Für sie fehlt der Fokuspunkt und damit die charakterliche Tiefe. Sie resümiert: "Leider schafft es Claudia Gray auch in ihrer letzten The High Republic-Geschichte nicht, an die Qualität ihrer eigenständigen Romane heranzukommen, da sie sich aufgrund eines riesigen Casts an Figuren verzettelt und dabei keiner Figur genügend Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Kombiniert mit Pacing-Schwierigkeiten fühlt sich der Roman daher in Teilen gleichzeitig gehetzt und langatmig an. Trotzdem macht es Spaß, die liebgewonnenen Figuren weiter auf ihrem Weg zu begleiten und die magische Welt von Kashyyyk zu entdecken". Tobias rezensiert nach Erscheinen dann die deutsche Version. Einen Ausschnitt aus dieser Rezension könnt ihr bereits hier lesen: "In das Licht spiegelt dem Titel nach den ersten YA-Roman der Hohen Republik – In die Dunkelheit – wider. Das erfüllt er auch inhaltlich und schließt die Klammer damit zufriedenstellend. Wie Claudia Gray das jedoch herleitet und wie sprunghaft sie in ihrer Wahl der Hauptfiguren ist, stört das Gesamtbild. Mit keiner Figur eifern wir so wirklich mit, alle sind Plot-Träger ohne viel emotionale Momente oder gar inneren Monologen. Wenn diese jedoch mal hervorstechen, wird der Wunsch nur größer, mehr darüber zu erfahren. Doch da muss schon der vierte PoV in diesem Kapitel auch noch seinen Senf dazugeben. Am Ende entsteht eine Melange, die zwar das Projekt um einen Etappensieg bereichert, selbst aber nicht zu den Werken gehört, die der Hohen Republik ihre Seele geben".

On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, we tackle a vital topic: preventing baby allergies. Joined by Dr. Claudia Gray, a Cape Town-based pediatrician specializing in allergies, Meg explores actionable ways parents can reduce the risk of allergies in their little ones. The episode provides expert insights, from pregnancy through weaning, to help parents navigate the complexities of allergy prevention. With practical advice and evidence-based tips, this discussion is essential for any parent concerned about their baby's health and well-being. 1. Understanding Allergies Dr. Claudia Gray explains what allergies are and how they result from the immune system's improper response to harmless substances. She highlights genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors that contribute to the rise of allergies. 2. Pregnancy and Allergy Prevention Parents are advised not to eliminate allergens during pregnancy, as it does not reduce the risk of allergies. Claudia emphasizes the importance of eating a balanced diet and possibly including oily fish or omega supplements for added protection. 3. Weaning and Early Allergen Introduction Introducing allergens between 4-6 months is critical in reducing the likelihood of developing food allergies. Claudia shares guidance on safely incorporating foods like peanut butter and eggs into a baby's diet. She also stresses seeking professional advice if the baby shows signs of severe eczema or allergy risks. 4. Managing Eczema to Reduce Allergy Risks Claudia calls eczema an "allergy emergency" due to its role in allowing allergens to penetrate the skin. She discusses effective skin care, including moisturizers and anti-inflammatory treatments, to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce risks. 5. The Role of the Gut and Skin Microbiome Claudia explores the importance of the gut and skin microbiomes in developing a healthy immune system. Recommendations include breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, avoiding unnecessary antibiotics, and introducing a wide variety of foods to support gut health. This episode equips parents with evidence-based strategies to prevent allergies and navigate early signs of potential risks. With actionable advice and expert insights, listeners gain confidence in managing their baby's health. Tune in to Sense by Meg Faure for a practical guide to reducing allergy risks and building a strong foundation for your child's future well-being.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a trio of cozy mysteries by Claudia Gray, all starring Jane Austen characters: The Murder of Mr. Wickham (2022), The Late Mrs. Willoughby (2023), and The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bough (2024). These are an absolutely delightful (and non-stressful) way to revisit these characters, and there's even a little helping of romance. Mentioned: Death Comes to Pemberley, another contemporary author's take on an Austen-themed mystery.​Terri's random recommendation is Artful Plus, the premium version of Artful Agenda, a digital planner we both use. With Artful Plus, you get a habit tracker and the ability to make and use your own stickers, among other perks. Mentioned: The Artful Agenda Facebook group, Artfully Obsessed.​​In the archives, we discussed an episode from 2020 on how parents can pay it forward (which we think is more helpful than starting or participating in a drive-thru pay-it-forward chain). Mentioned: Books from our former co-hosts: Inclusion in Action by Nicole Eredics and Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools (January 2025) by Amanda Morin.Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E23, "Exodus: Part 2," on Tuesday, December 17Shrinking S2 E6, "Get in the Sea," on Wednesday, December 18Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 19Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Imagine an alternate universe where another set of podcasters were also breaking down classic comics. Well, that universe just collided with ours! Andrew Kilpatrick and Phil Oberholzer of the podcast THIS IS GETTING GRAPHIC join us to break down 1982's Classic Marvel Star Wars Annual #2!! I don't know when we've laughed so hard while doing a comics episode!    What does this comic issue have in common with The High Republic? Will Han Solo become the next Satab? And what would a Star Wars x Kojak cross-over look like? All these questions will be answered in this KING-SIZE EPISODE of over 2 hours long!!   We recommend watching the video version of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.   Star Wars Annual #2 “SHADESHINE"   Release Date: August 17, 1982 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres, George Roussos Cover Art:  Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres   Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and C-3PO evade Imperial Stormtroopers when they duck inside a palace containing a giant golden statue of Han Solo. The Rebels are puzzled until Rov Vetter Pin appears, declaring that Solo is the savior of the planet Ventooine. He activates a recording of Solo's voice which recounts the story of how Solo saved the planet.    Solo and Chewbacca were traveling to Ventooine to deal in Sansanna spice. When Solo is run out of the Cantina when he is labeled a supporter of the Satab, he saves Tieress Chrysalla, the consort to the Satab. Solo is brought back to the Satab's palace as a hero where he discovers that the Satab rules the planet through the use of a stone known as the Shade-shine.    Because of his heroics, Solo is placed in line to take the title of The Satab.  Will he be the new ruler and at what cost?

Imagine an alternate universe where another set of podcasters were also breaking down classic comics. Well, that universe just collided with ours! Andrew Kilpatrick and Phil Oberholzer of the podcast THIS IS GETTING GRAPHIC join us to break down 1982's Classic Marvel Star Wars Annual #2!! I don't know when we've laughed so hard while doing a comics episode!    What does this comic issue have in common with The High Republic? Will Han Solo become the next Satab? And what would a Star Wars x Kojak cross-over look like? All these questions will be answered in this KING-SIZE EPISODE of over 2 hours long!!   We recommend watching the video version of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.   Star Wars Annual #2 “SHADESHINE"   Release Date: August 17, 1982 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres, George Roussos Cover Art:  Carmine Infantino, Rudi Nebres   Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and C-3PO evade Imperial Stormtroopers when they duck inside a palace containing a giant golden statue of Han Solo. The Rebels are puzzled until Rov Vetter Pin appears, declaring that Solo is the savior of the planet Ventooine. He activates a recording of Solo's voice which recounts the story of how Solo saved the planet.    Solo and Chewbacca were traveling to Ventooine to deal in Sansanna spice. When Solo is run out of the Cantina when he is labeled a supporter of the Satab, he saves Tieress Chrysalla, the consort to the Satab. Solo is brought back to the Satab's palace as a hero where he discovers that the Satab rules the planet through the use of a stone known as the Shade-shine.    Because of his heroics, Solo is placed in line to take the title of The Satab.  Will he be the new ruler and at what cost? Why is there a giant gold statue in the middle of this palace?

We've been talking a lot lately about the how hard it is to finish a project and how different that energy is from the wonderful, euphoric, sometimes manic starting energy. Here's some advice from Jess, Sarina, and Jennie on how authors manage their lives and relationships and work amid the ups and downs of writing projects. AmReading: Sarina: She's been loving the Orphan X series by Greg HurwitzJennie: Her fave read this week is Dear Edward by Ann NapolitanoJess: Finally got around to listening to Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and KJ convinced her to download The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray. She also started The Sicilian Inheritance by return guest Jo Piazza. Hey, it's Jennie Nash, founder and CEO of Author Accelerator. I hear so many people tell me that book coaching sounds like their dream job, and they wish they could do it, but they can't because ___________. Fill in the blank, whatever it is: They don't have an agent, they haven't written a bestseller,  they don't have a Ph.D., they weren't an English major, they don't know enough about the publishing industry--whatever the thing is. And I can tell you that I see people overcome these things every single day. I have a presentation on this, on imposter syndrome. It's the single biggest barrier keeping most people from saying YES to their dream job. Come check it out at bookcoaches.com/imposter. That's bookcoaches.com/imposter. This is a public episode.

This week we're talking about the 2019 novel, Master & Apprentice. Why now you ask? With the build up to the 25th anniversary of the Phantom Menace, and the upcoming release of the book The Living Force which takes place just before; timing is just about right... Joining us for the adventure is Brady "Big Lovin" from ATSW the Escape Pod! He is one of our original All Things Star Wars family members, and has met Claudia Gray! Check out Brady, Don, and DB on the Escape Pod on Wednesday nights at 1905 EDT here on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/c/atswtheescapepod Also tune into Swede Studios for the release of "Something In the Way", a new single from his band Explicit Noise! https://www.youtube.com/@SwedeStudios/featured?sttick=0 Our stuff is at bio.link/thesidebarcantina Thank you to our Patreon supporters!

Join us this week for Special guest, Author Claudia Gray. Claudia is the writer of multiple Star Wars novels along with YA novels including The Evernight series, the Firebird and Constellation trilogies.  Claudia discusses her foray into a new genre, historical mystery.  We talk all about Bloodline and Princess Leia's later life choices.  We also discuss our new DNP Book Club book, her Haunted Mansion themed novel, Storm & Shade.  For more info about Claudia, check out her site, http://www.claudiagray.com/ 

“Trials of the Darksaber” (Rebels S3, Ep. 15) is, quite simply, one of the tightest-scripted, haunting, and beautiful episodes of Rebels so far. And “Warhead” (Ep. 14) is a delightful buddy cop special feat. Zeb and AP-5. This week, we dive deep into the lore of lightsabers and darksabers. We talk about what it means to wield the Force, rather than just be a part of its flow, and talk about Sabine's inner demons. And Sam crowns Sabine and Kanan's training duel as one of the Top 5 Lightsaber Duels, Ever. In the meantime, Thrawn has cut his list of planets the Rebels may be inhabiting down to 94… Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

In this episode of Rule the Galaxy Joe and Brent get the opportunity to host special guest: Claudia Gray If you like the High Republic, Leia, Bloodline, Lost Stars, and Master and Apprentice check out this episode. A very fun and informative interview. We will have Claudia back on to discuss Andor in the future.  

In this episode of Rule the Galaxy...we had some timing issues. While we were waiting for Claudia Gray to show up...Brent and Joe just decided to do an impromptu show. We talk a little bit about everything...at the end it shuts down abruptly as Claudia showed up.  So we made that into a completely different show...

Not to dunk on it too badly, but so little of note happened in “The Wynkahthu Job” (Rebels S3, Ep. 9) that we added “Visions and Voices” (Rebels S3, Ep. 11) to our watch this week. Combined, these episodes show that there are two Boomers inside of you—a Hondo and a Maul—and you become the one you feed. We spend quality time on Dathomir getting hassled by Nightsister ghosts, and watch Thrawn touring the facility and picking up slack on Lothal.  Join us this week for an impromptu triple-header as we explore themes of sabotage, betrayal, and oppression. We also talk about the next owner of the darksaber, Maul's trauma-goggles, and Ezra growing up. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker? This is a great time to sign up for our Patreon for bonus audio content! After we finish Visions Season 2, we're on to a big old recap of Claudia Gray's “Master and Apprentice” novel, starring baby Obi-Wan and peak Qui-Gonn Jinn.

"Huttslayer", a relatively new but cannon title for Leia Organa Skywalker, is a title that isn't always discussed - but should be! By writing it into the novel "Bloodline", Claudia Gray effectively gave Leia a title filled with honor and respect. When Leia killed Jabba the Hutt, she not only liberated herself, but also avenged her biological father by killing his slaver. In doing so, she also liberated thousands more, even her own brother, by taking the chain Jabba used on her and killing him with her bare hands. For this reason and SO many more, Leia remains as bad ass as ever, and we honor her by calling her the "Huttslayer." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support
