We’re continuing our journey through LAST SHOT by Daniel Jose Older on the pod this week! Join us as we discuss the state of the New Republic, Han and Lando’s character development from Solo to the original trilogy to this novel, and a recurring Star Wars theme: trauma in the aftermath of war.

PLUS: Enter our first contest! We’re giving away a copy of Most Wanted by Rae Carson, which we’ll be reading on the pod in the future. Instructions on how to enter are here.

This podcast covers parts 2 and 3 and is NOT spoiler-free. It also mentions plot points from Solo.

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