We wrap up our read of A NEW DAWN by John Jackson Miller and discuss his short story, “BOTTLENECK,” featured in the RISE OF THE EMPIRE compilation. What is the future of the Jedi Order? Where do we draw the line between the will of the Force and free will? Will Hondo ever be in a Star Wars novel? All that and more in this episode!
