This week, we’re beginning our discussion of DARK DISCIPLE by Christie Golden! In this episode, we get situated: How does the novel carry on from and expand upon the characters and situations we know from Star Wars: The Clone Wars? Is assassination ever a good idea? Plus, Kristen talks about her new obsession: lava fleas.

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free and covers chapters 1-14. We also mention plot points from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels.
