This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Zoraida Córdova, author of STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE A CRASH OF FATE, “You Owe Me A Ride,” and “Wait for It” to the pod! We chat with Zoraida about what made her choose to write about Boba Fett, what romance novel she’d write for the galaxy far, far away, and much more.

The crew reads the rest of FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, discussing stories from Brittany N. Williams’s “Faith in an Old Friend” to Tom Angleberger’s “The Whills Strike Back.” We dive deep on how this book treats Lando and gets at his surprisingly strong feelings of responsibility, and, of course, how space is gay.

At long last, the crew returns to FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, discussing stories from Zoraida Cordova’s “Wait for It” to Martha Wells’s “Bespin Escape.” Discussion topics include the consumption of food through helmets, which bounty hunters are the dumbest, and, as always, how everything in space is gay.

This week, we continue our exploration of FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, from Django Wexler’s “Amara Kel’s Rules…” being super gay (and a good look at Imperial conscripts) to Daniel Jose Older’s “STET!” giving us a view into a very tiny world of crime. One thing that all these stories make very clear: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was a weird f*cking movie.

This week, we continue our exploration of FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, from R.F. Kuang’s brilliant “Against All Odds” making us finally care about Dak, to Seth Dickinson’s “The Final Order” spiraling deep into New Order paranoia. Some stories fill us with hope, while others make us wonder if the Empire’s HR team need to hold a training about boners in the workplace.

This week we start our analysis of QUEEN’S PERIL by E.K. Johnston. In this episode we take a look at the days before the Invasion of Naboo and how much more competent some teenage girls are than the Chancellor of the Senate. Also: Miranda does some gay screaming.
