We’re starting one of the new canon’s most popular books, A NEW DAWN by John Jackson Miller. The novel features new villains, even more Imperial mining problems, and, most importantly, the story of how two now-beloved characters met: Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus.

This episode covers chapters 1-17, mentions a ton of plot points from Star Wars: Rebels, and is NOT spoiler-free!

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