This week, we’re wrapping up DARK DISCIPLE by Christie Golden and discussing her Star Wars Insider short story, “KINDRED SPIRITS.” Ultimately, what is the role of the Jedi? In what ways does representation matter for storytelling? Plus, Kristen finally gets to talk about Hondo!

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free and also mentions plot points from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and the most recent Star Wars: Battlefront II video game.
