This episode is the first part of our deep dive into Solo: A Star Wars Story and all that the anthology movie means for the wider Star Wars universe. How did we feel about the film overall? How does the movie tie into the larger story of the galaxy? And what do we think that cameo means for the future of Lucasfilm storytelling?

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free! We also mention our episodes on FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW, this Wired article, and our Awesome Con panel on storytelling in Star Wars.

Book Wars Pod explores the Star Wars universe through the franchise’s non-screen media: the canon novels, comics, and video games.
